Cheaper Than Dirt! is selling FDE PMAGs for $29.97. Classy bunch, CTD.

You missed them selling PMags for 59.97 yesterday. I guess they got caught in a shitstorm and dropped the price.
 
Dropped by a local shop yesterday, they had their busiest day ever on Monday. Only one Colt AR on the shelf. But I asked if they could get an Ruger SR556 in, they called back today and have a few of them coming in, so one is reserved for me. Just the E model (base), so I'll add to it as I can. Was planning on waiting for tax return money, but of course my time table got pushed.

Yeah, saw that. Hopefully, I will have some coming my way...

Nice, they're good guns. Good thing they reserved one for you.
 
My Friendly Neighborhood Weapons Dealer just posted a photo of bare walls - he is completely out of all rifles. I am trying to find a National Match M1A, and it is proving difficult.
 
If anyone's looking for 30 round PMags, I have located several sources that have (in total) a few dozen left for prices between $14.20 and $18. (I have been using my skills to locate some for Der Stig.)

The list is changing extremely rapidly, so I won't post it here. PM me if you want the latest.

I'm good for now, I have 50 on the way from Texas. What I really need is a line on an M1A National Match in the Kileen area.

Edit: Some 30-round AK mags in steel would be good. Maybe a half dozen.

Jgsales.com has some listed, but they don't say if they're in stock.
 
So YOU'RE the guy that magblocked Der Stig and me! :p

Sorry, I don't have anything set up for AK mags at the moment and I don't have a known good search term pattern that doesn't have a ridiculously low signal to noise ratio. If you want a M1A - or, since it's illegal to buy across state lines without an FFL involved, your brother wants an M1A, may I suggest these?

Apparently people are thinking there will be an import ban first, affecting magazines - they have tons of poly AK mags here:

Thanks, I will get on this.
 
Bought my mags on Friday. Thought I was being paranoid then, now that 8.99 a piece I paid is looking cheap indeed.

Re: The Gun thread

We are now the proud owners of an M1A. Not a National Match, but not the base model either.
 
Re: The Gun thread

It is on the way from out of state. When it arrives I will take some photos.
 
w00t! So excited for the M1A to show up! :D
 
In case you were wondering how insane and unprecedented this is:

Brownell's Sells 3.5 Years Worth Of Magazines In 72 Hours

Brownells spokesman Jason Corpus had this to say.

?I wanted to take a minute to shed some insight on the magazine situation if i can. First of all I wanted to offer an apology for the situation? with magazines being ?In-Stock? and back-ordered moments later? [The] demand for magazines actually exceeded the ability for the system to keep up with the volume that was being ordered. They way that our website works is that inventory is fed from our ERP system directly into the website in ?real-time.? Unfortunately, ?real-time? is the amount of time that it takes for the transactions to work both ways. During normal circumstances, it is nearly instant. However, we?ve been receiving orders at such a pace that these transactions have gotten slower. We absolutely apologize again, we definitely don?t want that ever to be your experience.

?To shed some more light on the magazine situation at present, it really has been unprecedented in the last 5 days. During a roughly the 72 hour period from Sunday afternoon to Monday evening we sold the ?average demand? equivalent of about 3.5 years worth of PMAGS, and and an even greater amount of our Brownells magazines. We?re working like crazy to get these orders to you as quickly as possible.?

He continued, saying that they?re working with Magpul and their own in-house magazine manufacturers to compensate for the sudden spike in sales. Magpul will be focusing on black magazines for the most part, which makes sense. They?re the most popular and they will spend less time re-tooling for other colors, focusing on production over variety.

It's not all roses, though. There are some fairly serious commerce implications here; read the article for more.
 
I'm glad I got mags at a decent price. I was planning to take what I needed from those I ordered and sell the rest; now I'm thinking that once I supply friends and family I will keep whatever is left.
 
Anyone with fairly cheap AR optics options? Looking to stay at $150 or so just on a compact 1-4x adj scope.

Some people like the Millet or Bushnell AR options. There's also Burris but that's a little more.

Also, try shopping used stuff on eBay, but beware of fakes.
