Just ordered two AO Precision BCG’s and a few standard charging handles to finish a few builds up. Nothing fancy - just plain jane milspec parts but did get an ok price. $193.80 total. No tax and free shipping!
Only lacking a single A2 flash hider, an Aero carry handle rear sight (may get 2 of those), and a pair of carbine gas tubes and those uppers are a done deal for me!
I’ve got whatever random things I need or want in carts at various vendors waiting on sales to start or change.
Really not a lot, I already have more than I need. More soft goods for belt and chest rig, actually. Took a Grey Ghost lower out of my cart at Primary Arms, because “not another extra.”
The only guns I actually am considering are a) PDP with FDE slide (and I’d just sell the uppers I only want the frame) and b) an MKE AP5-P.
I already have extra BCG’s, sights, slings, charging handles, handguards, barrels, small parts, etc.
I’m looking forward to doing more shooting than buying. A move across the country helped that possibility.
I’ve been watching the prices of ammo drop and want to replace what I’ve shot in the last couple years.
Idk if Black Friday sales will help with ammo. But good 5.56 is back to .45 cents a piece and I’m tempted. Between inflation and material costs I’m not sure it’s going back to 30 cents again.
The thought of buying anything AR is foreign to me these days. There’s one barrel I’d like to get, but even if given it for free, I wouldn’t feel like doing the changeout.
Gunpowder at a non-absurd price, on the other hand, would make me happy.
I’ve been picking up ammo whenever I see a good sale, mostly 9mm and 300BLK. I’ve nabbed an upper here, LPK or BCG there. Right now PSA has a NiB Toolcraft BCG for $79.99 and that’s a hard deal to pass up, especially when they also have Speer 124gr JHP at .50 a round and up to $50 mail in rebate which makes up to 200 rounds a quarter each.
www.defensivemechanisms.com has 25% with no code needed. Grabbed a holster tourniquet mount and a grippy inner belt. They have other cool stuff, that’s just what I wanted.

Good place to do business in my experiences with them. Maybe 7 to 10 purchases over the last 5 years or so? Never any problems.
Order before this one for the carriers was for a few tools. A cheap order that did not qualify for any sort of discounts or free shipping. Was a button for a little customer service chat box thing so I clicked it… Told / typed in the chat box thing that I was ready to check out but was wondering it they had any sort of coupon codes available. Got a 10% off code back in less than a minute. Their price was the lowest I could find online anywhere for those particular brand name tools BEFORE the goofy code and the 10% off. That made an already good deal an awesome deal!
More than a few times on orders in the past found short handwritten ‘thank you for the purchase’ notes somewhere in the boxes. Tells me somebody probably actually checked the box before closing it up and sending it out.
