Helmutt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 They went quick, figured if someone wanted a decent starter rifle that the pricing wasn't too hateful for the current market. This same gun is/was selling at gun shows for $1200 in the last couple months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) I snagged one. Though no mention of FFL shipping. This space intentionally left blank to avoid offending anyone 2012There's a disclaimer listed that transfers are only through licensed FFL dealers. Looked at a pair of lowers and would've just included my local gunshops info in the changed ship-to address with fax/phone. When it lands there I would just need to head to the gunshop for paperwork and pickup Edited March 3, 2013 by Hellmutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sad that this was actually a 'decent' deal when just 6 months ago we were fighting over $600 rifles. A guy would spend about the same on a build ( with better equip ) but be elbow deep in backorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 No real back order besides the bcg right now. I guess that two is good for now anyways.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Complete uppers can be had now and then but PRICEY. Wife's bro is gonna supply an upper for one of the lowers to build for her Dad ( BDay gift ) and the other lower will go in the safe for a while until the right goods come along to build it. No rush on it since 5.56 is rough enough to find for 2, much less 3 rifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 $.50/rd was ridiculous, but is about avg price these days. Plan to stash up casings to reload, and pickup deals off the shelf as we can to keep it as inexpensive as possible. Our local dealer has brass .223 limits 100rd/day @ $.40/rd ( $9 a box ) just need to stop in more often to bag my limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Point Blank used to have it for $8/box. Limit 2 per visit. So I'd go in every so often and get 2 more. Then they raises their prices to $12/box. Other dealersare getting $11 to $12/box as well, and limit quantities in each visit. Haven't seen it anywhere cheaper, if I can find it at all.

Helmutt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Wish I'd have bought a few 1000rd packs from Olde English back when they were $360 OTD damn hindsight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I snagged one.Congrats man, glad somebody here got in on this deal. Shit flys out of stock faster than most of us can get on the dealers home page. They may get more in soon, I'll keep my eyes peeled and revive this thread if they do in case another member has money to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idodishez Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks for the heads up! I don't need one. Bought an almost identical model a month or so ago for $850, but w the "bullet button". But I couldn't pass up the deal. May sell to my BIL when/if he gets funds. Or put on arms list for a profit.

Radio Flyer Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 If anyone else is looking, I heard there is a gun store inside of Paintball Ohio on Silver Dr. called Alpha Star Tactical. A buddy said they had 5 AR in there yesterday. No idea on brands, specs or prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 As sad as it is I could live with $0.50 a a round ammo. all I'm finding local is $0.80 and up! My big issue right now is finding a bolt group for my deployed daughters build. She just spent another $650 on her final upgrades, FDE furniture, EOTech, GG&G quick release all that on top off all the other money she dumped into it. Glad we started the build before the scare. I'll be on the phone hunting for the bolt Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Speedy said earlier it may have been more advantageous to buy a complete rifle @ $799 and part it out for your build plus spares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why be careful?I've used 2 boxes so far. No issues, other than I don't see any actual tracer. Should it show in daylight?This space intentionally left blank to avoid offending anyone 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 You should see it light up in daylight. Just be careful not to shoot at anything that could catch fire. Those tracers like to keep burning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I almost bought a 100 rnds of .308 orange tracers today at fin, $129. But don't really see the need for them. And the local ranges don't allow them anyway due to the risk of fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaCinci Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 FYI - I had some time to kill in the Montgomery area this morning so I stopped in Point Blank to look at their gun safes. When I breezed through, it looked to me like they had quite a few semi-autos in stock. Definitely 10+ AR's (not sure of the brand) and what looked to be a SCAR and a handful of the black AK's. There weren't any sales guys at the desk at the moment so I didn't ask exactly what they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People strip them off of 1 to 4 machine gun linked ammo.Do not make a habit of firing tracer continuously. Bad for barrel.In combat tracers are used to mark a target for group fire. A leader will mark the target by firing a couple of tracer rounds or even a full magazine. Everyone else quickly fires at the same target area. Expect return fire at the source of the tracers...edit: I think Vance's briefly had cans of 820 .223 tracer, when ammo was hard to find.
