Group Buy Ideas?

[Dale Gribble]

If we did another group buy, what would you be interested in?

I'll let this run for a while, and then I will take a few of the suggestions and put up a poll.

[YankeeFingergasm]

An affordable 22LR pistol. Browning, Ruger, 1911 something along those lines.

[surfer5]

Ammo.

[Dale Gribble]

Ammo.

I can try, however as others will attest to, its very difficult to get a better deal on ammo as an FFL than you can find yourself using an engine like ammoseek.com or gunbot etc.. We would probably have to buy a billion rounds to beat the online prices.

Fair enough. Just the only thing I'm hurting for right now. So its all that came to mind. :)

Mostly .45ACP and 5.56 right now. But I'm always open to .308WIN, 10mm, 7.62x39, 44spl, and (since the group buy) 7.62x54r. I'm not really hurting for anything but .45ACP but that is mostly due to not going out and buying any in a while and taking a bunch of friends to the range to introduce them to the sport. :)

Do it up. I'm actually a little hurt you didn't think you could just be yourself.

[Dale Gribble]

I just bought 2k rounds of Wolf Gold 223 55gr from Wideners. It worked out to .34 a round or so with shipping. Its good stuff, brass, boxer, re-loadable, sealed primers, annealed necks. Like many good things, made in Taiwan.

[Dale Gribble]

Surfer, let me give you an example.

This site has Fiocchi 45acp for 18.50 per 50.

http://shop.tropgun.com/servlet/-strse-1244/FIOCCHI%2CAMMO%2C45ACP%2CTARGET%2CFMJ%2C45A%2C45A/Detail

My cost is 21.80.

How about something like a Ruger SR22PS for $359 out the door?

What's the price difference between this and the standard SR22?

I personally have no need for the threaded barrel...

[TargetShooting]

I want a brand new Remington1911 R1 Carry Command (black slide) for $900 out the door.

[Dale Gribble]

Non-threaded barrel (with silver anodized slide instead of black) is $10 cheaper.
Non-threaded barrel with black slide is $25 cheaper.

Not trying to be a lowballer or anything and I want y'all to make money but Trophy Creek in Monticello has the same thing for $357 OTD. Neither one of those prices seem like group buy savings. The Type 53's were a great value. Yes they required some fixin' up but how could anyone turn that down. Maybe the police trade-ins would fit that pattern better.

Oh, and - The Jones Deluxe retails for $9,950. We can get it on the waitlist for you.

I would be happy to sell it to you for $2,000. We just now have a $7,950 transfer fee for this 1911. :cool:

You know, we still have a source to get $110 dollar Type 53's again. I was hesitant to post since I don't believe we could sell 15 to 20 of them though.

Or, a $110 ChiCom Mosin Nagant would do...

I realize that. I based that on a single unit price. If we had 10 folks go for it, we could probably get a decently lower prices from the distributor, and we would be willing to work with less markup. Its a lot less effort for us to distribute guns the way we did with the T53's than it is to have 1 appointment every day for the next 10 days.

Heck,i am not going to be able to do anything with my type 53.If any one wants it I will sell for what I paid!

So a 22lr Pistol seems to be the champion.

Do you guys prefer the Ruger, Browning, S&W or what? I need model's/brands you would be interested in so I can contact distributors about bulk pricing.

I am aiming for a June time frame to buy them.

If you notice, it is threaded for a can. It happens to be about the diameter of several .22 cans currently on the market.

Browning has apparently discontinued it recently. They also have done some through Lipsey's. DSH has one or 2 of the "regular" threaded Brownings.

Question for any Machinist on here. The above link says the mag well is broached. Why would it not be machined out which is a lot quicker and cheaper. What am I missing.

[Bodo]

Broaching is MUCH quicker and easier to do on a dedicated machine. Do the initial cuts on the CNC and then off to the broaching maching. Tolerances on a magwell aren't very tight. Broaching is good enough.

Pretty sure Fish Antibiotics aren't in stock at any of our suppliers, nor a lot of the other stuff. They seem to be out of much much more lately.

However several of our distributors have Gerber stuff and Leatherman stuff. No one we deal with has surplus stuff other than Century Arms.

Generally we can not beat the price that you find online.

Occasionally we get a deal on something kinda one off, like defensive ammo (Winchester Ranger).

BTW, the best drum price I've seen was around from Academy Sports. 5k for 12,500 rounds. $.40 per round. Considering you can buy the same ammo from lucky gunner at .37 per round in 500 round quantity its more of a cool than a buy.

My cost from one vendor is $65.95, from another it is $59.35, but I'm not sure what color it is.

Even if we did it at 10% markup and we ATE the shipping, it would be $70.18 with tax.

For that price it has to be Babyshit (coyote) brown.

But we can wait until they get black back in stock and mix/match whatever colors they have at that point. They however don't have an eta on getting more Gerber stuff.

[Rumbler]

I have an observation to share. Take it for what it is worth to you.


Brick and mortar businesses, especially smaller ones, cost more to operate than virtual retailers who can order shit by the pallet load and set it on a warehouse floor somewhere the public is not welcome into.


Thus, it really is unfair and unreasonable to ask - or expect - an actual local small business operator to "cost match" (or even get really close to) the virtual retailers.

It really IS up to the buyer; pay what it costs to keep the local guys doors open, or don't. Yes or no, off or on. Simple stuff.

Again; just an observation . . . . . :)

[Danman]

Mike, we are very fortunate to be able to provide the pricing we do.

We are also very fortunate to have a lot of great customers; and a lot from this forum. Can't thank everyone enough. Hey, and especially you and Jonas - you guys provide us a sales outlet!!

[Rumbler]

I'm with you 110% on that Daniel. Talon, and myself, feel the same way.

And I can't say that it does not make sense to TRY and get the stuff we all use at the best possible price.

But I also believe that a lot of folks lose sight of how the retail business works.

My "favorite" example is ammunition. Our ammo prices are ridiculous. We mark it up ZERO PERCENT. And bricks of .22LR are sitting on the shelf for $75.00 (with several cases to back them up in storage). People flip out over that price.

What they don't realize is that because we are a small business and can not order 20 million rounds at a time the only reason we have 22LR ammo on the shelf is because we ordered it 6-10 months ago. The price we paid is what it was going for back then.

We wouldn't be in business long if we took a 50% loss to "compete" with ammoengine.com, or luckygunner.com, or bass pro shop. Or Walmart. So, all we can do is let a significant investment of operating capital sit there and gather dust while we listen to folks tell us the same ammo is on luckygunner.com for 1/2 the price.

It makes me sad. And more than a little frustrated. :(

[Dale Gribble]

Yep, its hard to compete. However service will often times win the day.

[0utlaw]

I thought 7% over the interwebs on the poop knife was a helluva good deal :dunno: I'll take that deal to support forum members everytime.

8|:roflmao::P Just teasing . . . . :cool:

[Jafar]

Yeah, I'm not looking for these items at a bargain basement price. I'm just trying to offer a little kick back to a local business while not having to do business with online vendors, while at the same time, trying to entice folks to get on board and start collecting things other than flashlights and broom sticks for their AR's.

I'd gladly pay a little bit more in order to do business with you guys. If that wasn't my intention I would have just started a thread on group buys and attached links to websites.

Three takers on the LMF II in baby poop brown. Jafar, Harley, and Outlaw.

Two more folks need to step up.

[Dale Gribble]

Yeah, I'm not looking for these items at a bargain basement price. I'm just trying to offer a little kick back to a local business while not having to do business with online vendors, while at the same time, trying to entice folks to get on board and start collecting things other than flashlights and broom sticks for their AR's.

Its all good.

[thedishdoc]

IFAKs, water purification, bulk long term food storage, fire starters, compasses, paracord, Alice packs, bandages, tourniquets, camelbaks, canteens, sun ovens, tents, three part sleeping systems, gas masks, pelican cases, map pouches, suture kits, fish antibiotics, hatchets, MRE's, cast iron, e-tools, machetes, Gerbers and Leatherman's, an emu, litters, stomp kits, plate carriers, ballistic plates, mag pouches, heliographs, string saws, and much, much more.I'd be in for a group buy on the Blackhawk Stomp bag, or Israeli bandages, tourniquets, gas mask, plate carriers and plates.

They have a couple of stomps, which one?

Stuff like medical equipment, gas masks, plates and carriers aren't carried by any of our current vendors carry, so I would need to establish a relationship with someone. So what manufacture's products are you interested in?

Blackhawk does make good med stuff.

[Dale Gribble]

I am guessing you mean this one: (Stomp)

Having a hard time with that price. How can it really cost that much?

[Jafar]

http://www.blackhawk.com/product/STOMP-II-Medical-Pack,876,42.htm

Nothing comes inside that pack, it's just the pack itself.

The true STOMPS are close to $500

http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/MHR-316

[Jafar]

For just the pack, or for a med kit in general?

[thedishdoc]

Just the pack. They run about $120 on eBay empty.

[Dale Gribble]

Just the pack. They run about $120 on eBay empty.

Wow. That is over $100 less than our cost.

I wonder if its authentic, since they retail for $339.

[thedishdoc]

I think the $339 is with supplies. The $120 is empty.

I don't think so. Nothing on the site lists the contents, and other sites clarify that the contents are not included.

However, they don't seem to offer the Stomp II in ACU, just green, coyote, and black. Wonder if this was done for the military or something?

[Dale Gribble]

We have 4 takers on the LMF II baby poop.

The website says the the pack does not come with medical supplies. What am I missing?

I was trying to clarify what you thought was expensive. Now I obviously know.

[Bodo]

Ya, sometimes the stream of consciousness that is typing doesn't always convey the intended meaning.

$339 for a freaking small pack? That's nuts.

[Dale Gribble]

Anyone interested in a Leatherman MUT? The place with the Gerber knifes has them as well.

http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-850012-MUT-Tactical-Multi-Tool/dp/B0039BGIE4

Looks like I could do these for $125 out the door in any quantity if the Knife buy goes through. They look like a good AR companion.

[Jafar]

They're proud of their shit, no doubt. But I've used some gear from "established" companies versus cheaper stuff (Condor, NC Star, etc.). There's definitely a night and day difference. Now would I pay $339 for a pack like that? Nope

Well it seems it does take a $125 tool and two parts kits to keep an AR up and running. Fancy that.

[Dale Gribble]

Do you carry a multi-tool? If so which one? I'm personally in the market, and I like the MUT (except its price) because it will fit my otis cleaning kit, and it has a pin punch built in. But I don't like that it needs an adapter to use standard 1/4 driver bits.

To be honest with you, I don't. I've never been one of those guys, even in the military. If there was something I couldn't fix with duct tape, a bayonet, or the correct application of plastique, I just deemed as being too temperamental to be in a combat zone.

But I'm sure they are a great addition to an operations bag for rear echelon maintenance or something of that sort. I just can't justify keeping one on my personal gear. I do have this beside my IFAK though;

No.

[Dale Gribble]

It is the same knife, sheath and straps, minus the strap cutter and its little case.

And no, that survival one is not in stock at any of our distributors.

[Jafar]

Holy shit, I can't wait to cut someone. Hurry up 5th buyer.

[Tack Driver]

I don't need another knife, but if another fifth doesn't show up ricky tick, I'll go in.

You guys think I can carry this on the lot? Shouldn't scare any PHDs buying a Mercedes wagon, right?

Depends on the PhD. Most I know would prolly pee their pants if they saw something 'dangerous'.

[Dale Gribble]

Based on Tacks tentative yes I am going to order these pronto.

If someone else wants one, I'm sure Tack will gladly give it up. The knife that is. For anything else, see Momma Tack.

[Danman]

Order 6. I'll take one. No idea why.

[AB]

For some reason I'm not a fan of the 1/2 serrated 1/2 plain blades. I would prefer a plain edge all the way down.

[0utlaw]

I hated them till I had one, now I'm a fan.

[Danman]

They shipped this afternoon, I think we will get them before the weekend.

We also have a surprise too.

I was reading to fast. I thought they were talking about metal targets, not protection vests with plate.

FWIW AR250/400/500 stands for Abrasion Resistance and is heat treated tempered metal and has been used for years in metal fabrication where needed. It's readily available in plate or flat bar.

1-10x12 shooter cut plate is 7.5 lbs. The only real weight variation is the size of the plate and the anti-spall coating.
