I'm with JDH, also, how about an Aero Builders Kit. You're a hell of a long ways from me, but for a good group buy price I'd be in.

I think MassDrop is a perfect example of how group buys don’t work these days. MassDrop is a whole website designed around group buys and 99% of the time it takes a long time (1 month or more sometimes) to receive the item and, once you add shipping, the price is equal or worse than many drop shipping websites.

'V nives' pocket knives would be a great group buy. I love all three knives I've bought from Mike. Good stuff.

Alright, to make things short and sweet....

We do our best to offer the best prices on our group buys with minimal wait times. That includes preloading the group buys with our own inventory to ship early, and then fill slots with our needs to "restock." In reality it's not restocking as it is to simply fill the beginning of the next orders to come. So again, minimal waits.

Our prices will be the absolute best we can get and pass along to you guys. We like to limit the buys to members of the forums we support. Not because we don't want others to partake in the deals, everyone is welcome to join and jump in, but we like to offer the buys as a benefit to members. Rest assured we will take care of you.

As for it helping if we offered items requiring a BG check? We can absolutely help with that. However I hope we can help with MORE than that as well.


Some of the ideas made so far are excellent. We can look into pricing on a few of these, such as the following:

Medical gear
Aero Sets (Keep in mind they just implimented MAP pricing)
Polymer 80's would be sweet

Then there are the things where it just simply isn't possible at this point in time, like the Ruger precision rimfire or P365. LOVE the ideas, but the items are still on allocation from my distributors. Meaning there are only limited amounts received and even offered, let alone available to each sales rep.

I'll start looking into these all, keep the ideas coming and we will see if we can pull something together ASAP that you all might enjoy!

How about factory G18 (33-rd 9mm) mags? I'd love to get a good deal on a bunch of those.

IIRC, I got a bunch from Botach for $25 or $30EA a year or two ago. Just keep yer eye out.

Been keeping an eye out for those as well. Botach has been OOS for the last few months.

Would the Polymer80s be complete build kits or just specific frames?

These have been flying out the door for us. I have a call in to one of my distributors to see if we can swing this.

More than likely frames. I'll see if I can provide kits too as an upgrade.

How about a group buy on Tailhook Mod 2s?

Any update on this? Would be interested in a p80 compact frame (maybe upwards of 3), and a subcompact for future builds.

I think the P80’s are doable.

Let me see what kind of numbers are needed.

Ok, it's looking like Pol 80 Glock frames can happen.

Some info:
-Need at least 10 frames sold & paid for
-Can be any size or color. Full size, compact, sub com.
-Price is $115 otd with tax. (If you require shipping, then we'll need to add that too.)
