It was AR500 armor. It wasn't coated but it was curved. Seemed like it was around $40 or so. There were several guys selling it on eBay.

Yes. By about 75% in the last couple of years.
I can't address plate carriers and that stuff (possibly why the price appears to have gone down?) but "raw" ar500 has gone through the roof.
. . . a painful side note: Wanna turn ar500 into (functionally) mild steel? Weld on it, or cut it with a torch. :rolleyes:

I will be placing the order at the end of the week, Friday, at 5pm.
Everyone has till then to get their orders in.
As of right now Simmo, Tackman, and Jafar are on my list for this buy.
Some organs just aren't worth a couple hundred bucks I guess.Quote:

Grumble grumble.
Just remember, if you got shot 2 seconds into the collapse, you'll never get to eat all those MRE's.Quote:

And during that first winter you can't eat those plates. Oh to be independently wealthy I'd buy it ALL first.Quote:

Just a few days left to get in.
If you aren't sure you want it, perhaps you should by a side plate for $27.60 and shoot it. Might make you a believer.
If those are 6"x8", add me a pair of those homie.Quote:

I'm gonna start a craigslist ad to hurry the fuck up and get some more buyers.
Craigslist keyboard commandos should be much more reliable than this rabble.Quote:

This is what is listed as the Urban Go on the AR500 website. I'm looking for something light weight to start with. I consider this PC disposable, and I will use it to figure out want I really want.
Did you read the reviews? Is that shit supposed to be funny or is it all made up? It sounds like some shit from Don't Even Reply.Quote:

I did. I also looked online. Seems to be fine from what I've read. Minimal, but fine.Quote:

BTW, my other thought was I can throw my FLC over this. Or I can wear this without anything tactical on it, under a jacket and not look like a airsoft wannabe.
I'm not saying anything is wrong with it, the reviews just made me laugh.Quote:

Geeze. Now I know how Ike feels.

Come on, boys.
The buckles on that Condor rig look to be in almost the perfect positions to prevent you from shouldering your rifle well.
Is my armor in yet?
The order is in. On the website they show a production lead of up to 2 weeks. I have asked for a real ETA, but I have no idea if I will get one or not.
Stay tuned for updates.
Waiting on the vendor, are we?
Seriously, when you need the money boss man?
