The GOOD DEALs and INTERESTING find thread!

How much were those 870s going for?

They were $260, but now they $270 and currently back in stock.

And like any good gun owner, I bought an optic mount and Mesa Tactical Urbino stock because it obviously isn’t good enough stock at a great price.

Thanks.

For $300, it’s hard not to. That’s why i bought one, although i expected to “get what you pay for” and get a pistol that I couldn’t trust. It’s been far from a $300 pistol for me, and i’ve been pleasantly impressed so far. I’m only 700 rounds into it, but so far so good.

Seems like a decent price on the Trijicon MRO. Its on sale through Aim Surplus for $389.99.

Yeah…the sniper green one is tempting me…lol

Unfortunately, PSA put me through enough ****ery with the purchase and transfer of a Tomcat 3032, that I’m done giving them chances with significant purchases, including that Glock clone that I was getting a few posts back, so I’ll never find out. Its too bad, because their only competition in my AO is two small stores and a larger one that still has guns from 7 years ago collecting literal rust because their prices are so far from competitive, and they don’t even drop the price after they rust.

Discontinued, apparently. I wish I had bought one, even though I have no present need of it, as it would have been an interesting tool in the box.

Burris XTR II 5-20x50 SCR Mil

$539.99 with discount code

Considering this was ok at $1000 a few years ago, it seems like a good deal.

Just got an email from Midway about half-off cases of Federal ND55664 (aka SKU 981215). 500 rounds at $300 +$20 shipping, can be reduced to $5 if you order $50 of “free shipping” products (I need to order some Plano tackle-boxes anyway).

Do we know anything about this load other than 64gr JSP at 5.56 pressure? Is this more Screaming Deal or Run Away Screaming Like A Girl?

Edit: I see it’s loaded for 2975FPS, while T223L loaded with the 64gr Hi-Shok does 3050.

I think it is supposed to be training ammo for Federal Tactical TRU 223 - “Non-duty bonded training analog for LE duty ammo”

I can find no info on why this is non-duty rated. Rejects over spec in production run?

Free shipping at Midway with code “NRA2023” including with ammo.

Thanks for this. I had to pull the trigger on this with the free shipping. I guess I will update next Friday when it’s delivered.

20% off Aero Precision at AimSurplus. Thinking I better get those 20" M16A4- and C7A2-to-be uppers ordered while I can before King Jay the Worst finally gets his Worse Than Commiefornia ban to sign…

For example, they’re quoting me 374 all-up to ship one of those 20" uppers WITH carry-handle sight, Aero Precision $407 for the same upper WITHOUT.

If you have a shipping address here in the Soviet Socialist Shithole of Seattlestan, Aero Precision is 25% off your order with code WA25 on top of the expedite for us locals. Got two 20" M16A4 uppers with MOE handguards for $610 shipped.

Now I need to dig the handguards out of my storage unit, find someone who wants 20" FSP MOE’s, order my BCG’s and CH’s, find a Matech BUIS for the A4 and another knockoff Tri-Rail for the C7, fight with my mother and the accountants and lawyers working probate to get a thousand-buck loan against my part of the estate for an ACOG…

Oh, and figure out what Marines in the Rockpile did to keep those black KAC railcovers from getting El Scorcho under the beating sun. Rattlecan, or swap on rubber ladders?

In non-micromanaging organizations, it is/was common for dudes to swap them or leave them off. PM me for examples of brands that were common in overseas BXs. Here’s a MK18 from such a USMC organization:

PM sent, amigo.
