Group Buy Ideas?

[Dale Gribble]

So 20# ~ ya think?

7.5+7.5=15..

Very interested in this.

Will you take baby poop colored knives in as trade?
I actually got to use mine this weekend....the bag of sugar at the URL had hardened in to a giant rock....I used it to scrape enough sugar for my coffee.

was figuring side plates and the carrier.......

[Dale Gribble]

was figuring side plates and the carrier.......

6x8 ar500 side plates are 2.5lbs ea.

Carriers seem to be 2 to 3 lbs. With carrier you are look at closer to 23lbs.

[BR549]

Back plates are for chumps...I learned in Blackhawk Down that I can plan not to get shot in the back...

Wearing a plate carrier without a back plate is ten times more uncomfortable and burdensome than when you wear front and back.

[BR549]

That makes a lot of sense. More lower back strain.

For a group buy its going to take some patience. It takes time to get this stuff setup. I hope to have pricing and such this week, but most vendors seem to move in geologic time.

They were running a 4th of July sale so I got it for around $170. And I went with these plates..

BTW, reading the instructions for ordering the carrier I saw this..

Measure your chest around the widest part (usually at nipple height)

So what do you measure?

Never mind. No homo.

Don't assuage him. He's fucking up the group buy.




:poke: Doc

[simmoag]

Why don't we do a group buy of ceramic plates? Seems like steel is dangerous with the spalling that I have seem on Youtube videos. The weight of them seems to be significantly more than ceramic. Does anyone have any input on this other than watching YouTube videos?

I am ready for incoming fire....:hiding:

[Dale Gribble]

Simmoag.

Anti Spall test of Line-x Paxcon. I think Spall/Fragmentation has been delt with well.

[Dale Gribble]

BTW, this will not be a typical group buy. Whichever vendor we choose ( http://www.ar500armor.com/ or http://www.thetargetman.com/) you will be able to select anything they have.

We will need to get a minimum order, and we should be lower than their online prices, even with tax, but don't expect it to be 20%.

If we go with thetargetman you can get Ceramic, UHMWPE or AR500 steel, as well as targets and stands.

If we go with AR500 armor, they have med kits and MRE's and lots of other stuff.

[thedishdoc]

I might be up for soft plates at some point.

[0utlaw]

I might be up for soft plates at some point.

In case you get shot with soft bullets :dunno:

[Tack Driver]

I might be up for soft plates at some point.

Help me out with this. Why would anybody want soft armor over plates?

[thedishdoc]

Protection from thrown 1911's. Weight and conceal-ability under clothing. There was a First Spear vest with soft plates in it at the shoot Sunday morning.

[simmoag]

Help me out with this. Why would anybody want soft armor over plates?

Probably as a plate backer, they don't want the weight of the plates (ceramic or steel) or to increase the threat level protection. Some plates that list level 4 protection are to be used in conjunction with level 3a soft armor.

[seadog]

There is another option,speed plates. They are level lll A but stop a shitload of different rounds. I use level llllA stand alone plates.

[Jafar]

Well, honestly, some people are preparing for a day and time where ordering more gear will not be a possibility. Steel can take multiple hits. Most ceramic is combat ineffective after the first hit. Also, ceramic plates shatter if you drop them at the right angle, which is a lot easier than you think. For effectiveness and duration, I personally would, and have, chosen steel.

[seadog]

I agree, ceramic plates are all of the above. I forgot to mention that I also have steel plates and plan on getting speed plates as well. Load out mission specific.

[Tack Driver]

Okay, so are we ready to do this now or what?

This makes sense. I have ceramic plates currently. Would be a good idea to have some steel back up plates.

[simmoag]

When are we doing the group buy? I would be interested in side plates and front/back plates.

I say go with AR500. They use the PaxCon coating, they sell lots of other stuff by well known brands like hsgi and such...

[seadog]

Doc, just Google speed plates and click on Galls. Or not.

[Cattle/Horses]

What is the thickness and dimensions of the AR500 plates?

[seadog]

I think .25 in?

[Tack Driver]

What is the thickness and dimensions of the AR500 plates?

1/4" x 10" x 12.5", bent into an ergonomic curve, and sprayed with Line X for under $85 per.

You think we can beat that.................. partner?

So can I order today?

No sir. Caving to peer pressure apparently will.

So...........what are you going to do?

[0utlaw]

No sir. Caving to peer pressure apparently will.

Will it cost as much for the peers exerting the pressure as it does for the peers receiving the pressure?

:chairshot:

[thedishdoc]

My First Spear plate carrier is arriving on Friday so I called AR500 to check on the plates. They take 3 weeks from date of order to make and ship your plates. :mad:
So no need to hurry guys. Your looking at a month before you get your plates.

[NJC]

Wait.. Y'all did a group buy on plates ??? Which ones did you guys go with ?????

[0utlaw]

We're waiting on the vendor.....or so I've heard :nope:

[NJC]

OK.. then you have time to answer my question....

[BR549]

I think dale put feelers out to a couple.

[NJC]

And you guys chose AR500 ?? If so have you ever worn armor (hard or soft) for more than a couple of minutes. Have you ever tried to run, move or perform tasks in it ?

I agree with the steel, which is what I have as the ceramic is too fragile and I know depts who issue it and then do not perform required follow up X-Rays.

However the AR500 rigs I have seen are MUCH heavier than mine and I went with AP46100D with Linex for spall protection. Tested at Aberdeen proving grounds and very interesting open source US govt PDF on same.

Dont get me wrong AR500 will probably work, but the weight will kill you.

[YankeeFingergasm]

Dont get me wrong AR500 will probably work, but the weight will kill you.Thanks for the heads up now....After I've already ordered AR500 plates :(

[BR549]

Outside of eBay, I haven't found a vendor who sells the 46100d steel plates. And I can't get away from the fear that I'm not exactly guaranteed that the guy selling 46100D on eBay is actually selling legit stuff...with all the scammers on eBay...I've been sold counterfeit apple products, counterfeit otter boxes, etc...difference is I didn't have to get shot in the heart to learn it was fake.

[NJC]

same can be said about the AR500. It's cheap enough that you can test it also it is not a restricted material. Any shop that cuts AR500 plates probably has a WJ machine that wil cut AP46100D

I can show you a piece of 1/2 inch steel that looks like AR500 with a .30 cal hole in it next C4 if you like... As always YMMV, but AR is NOT AP.

[BR549]

Right, I get that. I'm at least comfortable enough with a mainstream business like ar500armor.com that I'll get the real thing though.

[NJC]

Understood, it's your money.
Did you ask anyone if they would cut AP for you ?

[BR549]

No, but like you said, anybody with a water jet could do it. I totally get the weight thing. How much does one of your plates weigh? I'm torn.

[NJC]

dude.. let me go get one and weigh one.. ill be back in a few...

[BR549]

Dude, ok!

[BR549]

I always liked you...no matter what AB says.

[AB]

How would one get something fluroscoped around here? I happened to find a pair of 1993 mfg stand-alone lvl 4 ceramic plates, but the only way to know if they have been compromised is to scope them.

[BR549]

GatorVET and his veterinary cohort Simmoag May or may not have access to x-Ray /fluoroscope machines. Just a guess. Ask real nice,

[NJC]

Ok.. one (1) 10x12 swimmer cut AP plate with Linex is 6.4 lbs. I think they are 1/4 inch thick, did not measure that this time, but memory tells me they were 1/4 inch then another 1/4 for linex, so just about 1/2 inch thick total.

I dont use the side plates, for reasons discussed previously. So my plates add 12.8lbs to my loadout.

[BR549]

Ok, so that's 1.1 pounds lighter that each AR500 plate which weighs 7.5 lbs - 2.2 lbs more for the load out as a whole. A loaded AR mag weighs about 1 pound for reference. Pounds do add up and if all else was equal id love the lighter option.

[NJC]

really.. thats all... Dayum.. the AR500 rig I picked up a couple of weeks ago weighed a ton and it was a stripped down carrier....maybe his was thicker ??? Are you getting 1/4 or 1/2

So if weight is not really an issue all you have to wory about is penetration ;-)

[NJC]

I guess as long as its not soaked yellow pages, trash can lids and duct tape it's better than nothing !!!
Unless the AB ceramic plate fairy pays you a visit.

[BR549]

1/4 I think.

Pounds do add up and if all else was equal id love the lighter option.Ok great info guys. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel so bad now. Although ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain, I'm glad I went with the AR500 plates. I've shot the shit out of my AR500 targets with all my weapons at CLOSER than recommended ranges and they have held up well. I bought a plate carrier and plates to have the best protection available to me for the long term. I'll gladly tote the extra 2 pounds for the knowledge that I'm wearing as good as it gets that I can afford. Plus I bet the First Spear carrier is lighter than the average bear so I'd like to weigh plates and carrier when I get mine and do a comparison. I'll bet the difference isn't all that much.

[Jafar]

There's no such thing as plates being too heavy. You're just either in a high gravity zone or you're sipping on weak sauce. :cool:

You guys keep in mind here, that they offer both of those FSB mounted barrels in 5.56 and 7.62mm. So, technically, there are 4 barrels offered with FSBs. Those of you guys going with clamp on low-pro gas blocks can order anything there without having to have machine work done later.

BTW, I have no idea on real pricing yet, Shipping has to get added in as well as a few shackles for Danman to buy his monkey porn and for the Governor to get polish for his head. Figure somewhere between 15 and 25% over what they list.

Eh.

[Dale Gribble]

Eh.

I feel your pain brother.

Working on real pricing now, waiting on a shipping quote from the vendor.

When working with a really small margin (under 10%) little shit can easily turn a positive venture into a "why the fuck did we do this".

[Tack Driver]

the vendor.

Fuck me.

Here we go again.

[Dale Gribble]

Fuck me.



Fuck yourself.

Dale, how many Items can be put on one yellow form? Others words how many receivers can I get under one transfer paperwork and fee? I'm thinking it 5 blanks on that form.

Unlimited. You attach paper with additional serial #'s.

[Tack Driver]

Whoa, wait now.

They get less if we buy more than 2?

[Dale Gribble]

We'd have to meet a 10 barrel min?

I'd take a finished CBA-M4-160-556-03 1in7" if we can do this.

Apparently they manufacture at least some of Midway USA's ARSTONER barrels. (look at the part number on mindway, compare it CBA-M4-160-556-03 )

Look at the reviews. I don't want someone to be expecting top quality stuff at this price.

I have no idea what that means.

[Tack Driver]

I have no idea what that means.

Do they get cheaper after buying the first 2? Are any two thereafter $45 plus tax?

That was the barrel I was about to pull the trigger on.

If you want to buy more than 2 (in pairs) we will knock $5 of the additional pairs.

However I was counting on that $5 to bribe Ike for some IkeAde.

[Dale Gribble]

I know.

BTW, we are a dealer for Delton.

[Tack Driver]

I'd rather have a lightweight/pencil 16" CAR gas barrel.

Although for $100 more this is freaking hard to beat.

How much to get it through you?

[Bodo]

How much to get it through you?

Same question for two...

[Dale Gribble]

How much to get it through you?

The Delton. They are currently out of the non-chrome lined. If they had it in stock it would be $148.50 plus tax, $159.64 out the door.
Chrome lined (in stock) is $185.90 plus tax, $199.84 out the door.

16" pre-ban light weight
1x9 twist barrel available in chrome moly or chrome lined (choose option for chrome lined)
Comes with FSB, barrel nut, and handguard cap
Does NOT include front sight post, detent, spring or front sling and rivet

[Dale Gribble]

If we get a group to buy the Delton stuff, the prices come down because of shipping. Expect around $10 off (each barrel) for orders of 3 or more.

[Dale Gribble]

BTW, I believe many of Del-Ton's barrels are of Mossberg manufacture, however I have sent them an email to find out who's barrels they use for what.

[Dale Gribble]

Mr Gribble,

We turn our own barrels in house. They come in as a Mossberg or Specialty Bar blank. At this time we have 20" Heavy Chrome Lined and 20" Light Weight Chrome Lined barrels in stock. If I could be any further assistance to you please let me know. Thanks!

He sells cars for a living, don't give him no mercy man!

[Dale Gribble]

Shipping from ESS is estimated at 20-30 per 10 barrels. They didn't really seem to understand the question very well. I'm a little worried, I don't want to do a group buy and everyone ends up with useless shit and pissed off at The Arms Affair.
