Group buy ideas... does anyone have interest and if so what are the interests......

[Stickman]

The idea of a group buy has been brought up a couple times. What sort of things are you interested in? I don't mind talking to companies that I know, or dealers who may have the right contacts, but what sort of things are people interested in?

[WillBrink]

Nothing to add, but in on the thread as i'm interested to see what may develop. I'd think a group buy a great idea.

Can't have too many mags I suppose. A box O 20-30nd Magpul at a group price sounds good.

[officerX]

Things that I would buy at a good GB price:

PMAGs
BCM BCGs
BCM LPKs

That's what I can think of right now.

That's what I can think of right now.

I think PMAGs are going to be available cheaper from companies that are dumping them for cash right now. However, it doesn't change that we can take a look at it.

We can also contact other magazine companies like Surefeed. I just picked up 2 of their new magazines, and can always talk to them about 20 or 30 round mags. I know some people prefer aluminum mags for certain uses as opposed to PMAGs. I use PMAGs a lot, but still use the USGI mags and especially the metal 20 rounders.

I can talk to BCM about BCGs and about LPKs if there are enough people interested.

I agree with magazines, but like I mentioned, there are places that are selling PMAGS off super cheap because they bought everything during the pre-Trump time frame. I don't think we can get a group buy to compete with places that are desperate to stay in business. However, I can talk to some people if there is enough interest.

[hile]

I can't think of things that I'd be interested in off the top of my head, but like Will, I'm interested to follow this.

I’d like to see a simple M4 from a quality manufacturer. BCM, Colt, LMT or Sonics. A MagPul lower would be really cool! A stripped lower would be more affordable and would likely sell more. I’d be likely to buy two or more stripped lowers vs complete lowers or complete guns. Sooooo stripped lowers from Colt, BCM, LMT or Sonics would be on my list. A MagPul or KAC ambi lower would be very cool!

Billet upper & lower with precision fit between upper and lower.

Good for high accuracy rifle and/or general cool billet builds.

Engraved with something cool to represent it is an M4C group buy lower. SBR engraving optional under the finish.

[Kain]

Surefire lights could be fun.
I've be in for at least 10 pocket clips for a Executive series of light. lol.

Lowers could be interesting, but not sure how feasible that could be.
I would be interested in quality BCGs, or even bolts. LPKs, maybe any sort of retro or surplus that might be cool for those into the new retro builds.

Totally agree with the Magpul lower!

20 round Surefeeds would be great.

What about some Trijicon HD XRs? I could use a few sets of those.

As said above Surefire or Streamlight weapons lights, Zero Tolerance knives, BCM LPKs, BCM BCGs, Aimpoint T2s or Trijicon RMRs would be cool.

Could it possibly be run through grant? I mean the financial side of things. Perhaps even the buy completely? it's a thought. No idea if it would or wouldn't work.

Aimpoint T2 or Trijicon RMR

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk


This. Pretty much the most expensive part of any rifle is the optics setup. It would be nice to see about getting a group buy on higher end LPVO's or Aimpoint options, specifically the T2. I know Trijicon and Nightforce are very generous to LEO/Mil, so if we could include everyone on savings such as that via a group buy I think that would be
appreciated.

I too would be interested in a quality stripped lower at a good price. I had been excited about the latest release of KAC lowers but they quickly shot up to near 200 bucks.

I would think rifle kits may be doable, don't mfgs have to pay a tax on rifles sold? Selling a kit could cut cost by avoiding this. Maybe a few different options such as rail and barrel type/length to appeal to more people.

I agree with Stick, it would likely need to be something that possibility isn't moving that we'll where they can discount and would take the lower profit. Can't be something that already has no profit margin or that they can barely keep in stock as it is.

[Stickman]

IA MagPul lower would be really cool!



Will not happen period. The Magpul lowers have been dead and done for the last decade.

Personally, I like that idea quite a bit.

[Diamondback]

What if instead of price, we had our own "special color" run of Pmags? For example, White Tiger Tactical had a run of banana-yellow Magpul AK mags, and Gun Mag Warehouse had some exclusive trans-red Lancers...

So why not a special run with the M4C logo, maybe, oh, I dunno... say, Bacon Colored? :) Priced competitive with retail but the difference going as a site fundraiser?

Can't promise I'd be in on either of these, but maybe a run of decent-quality lowers and/or 80%s lasered with the M4C logo (and optionally for a little extra, username)? (Maybe site sponsors get a slightly different engraving with a "Site Sponsor" banner added.)

Just spitballing ideas... I don't wear T-shirts, so something to show "pride of membership" on the range might be kinda cool... something unique, like a secret handshake only for us in the know.

Okay here is my reasoning on some of the suggestions so far. A lot of us already have plenty of spares of the commonly available parts that we stock up on at Black Friday prices. A group buy would only equal or possibly beat that cost by a little. Limited pool of potential buyers.

Two areas that I think would generate wider interest are:
1.) High buck items that don’t often go on sale over 10% off normal street price. Nightforce and Acogs come to mind.
2.) Unique items that are not available otherwise. Custom marked mags, limited run uppers/lowers etc.

[Rogue556]

A group buy on Lancer L5 AWM mags would be nice, but not sure if that's possible. Awesome mags, but damn they're expensive.

Group buy on GI mags isn't a bad idea either.

Scalarworks BUIS would be nice.

Maybe a group buy on Geissele SSP's... If they ever get released..



TNVC Sentinels

Not sure how possible that would be considering the price of admission but that would be bad a**. I'd be in if I could keep from being divorced in the process lol

2.) Unique items that are not available otherwise. Custom marked mags, limited run uppers/lowers etc.

That’s the formula for successful group buys.

1) Unique items that a manufacturer won’t produce without a certain number (often the magic number is 50). Example: Geissele 10.75” handguard, Centurion set, etc.

2) New items soon to launch do that the discount is treated as marketing to get the reviews and buzz going.

There’s no incentive for a seller to mark down regular items that are unless they believe in a certain cause. If our cause is that we’re cheap bastards, that’s a non-starter. If we are helping a disabled vet pay medical bills, that may. Geissele sold their then-new scope mount to 200 people for only $200 a while back to help with a similar situation.

Payments on group buys usually work directly with the seller. Either a special checkout page or a phone call.

I say let Stickman pick something from the suggestions that he thinks realistic and unique or new and see where people are at with interest.

I really like some of these:

New 300 B pmag w/ M4C and/or or Army Chief logo.
Surefeed 30-round mags

Clear Lancer 30-rounders would also welcome. I'd be in for a pair of the Centurion stripped lowers.

Regarding the Army Chief PMAGs, how about one in tan or sand with the CW5 black and silver bar on one side, with the initials AC or Chuck Petrie spelled out?

Chuck did overseas combat tours, and was one of those rare aviators with the CW5 rank. It would be even easier with a black PMAG.

I'd be in for a dozen of those mags.

Monty and Corrie with Centurion are some of the best folks in the biz. If you haven't been around long to know of some of the quality products they put out, you have been missing out. At one point, and maybe still, Monty was the only source for true Crane spec Mk12 barrels to the public. The C4 rail has been a proven rock solid rail for many, many years. Some of the hammer forged and stainless barrels coming from Monty in my opinion are the best available. Their middle weight profile hammer forged barrel was a gem. The 12.5 LW hammer forged barrel is really the only properly ported 12.5 out there. Their BCGs are also top notch and only in the 105-125 buck range. I would, and do choose these, for every rifle build over all other manufacturers. The CMR rails are excellent and have many useful lengths and still improving on them with the newest release of the origonal CMRs. The Recce and Mk12 barrels are absolute tack drivers.

I currently own many rifles from most manufacturers and Centurion belongs and is in, the KAC, LMT, DD, BCM, Colt conversation when choosing parts for the best possible build. I've been using their parts for years and will continue to support Centurion. If you haven't given them a go, you should see for yourself and get some of their gear.

At one point, and maybe still, Monty was the only source for true Crane spec Mk12 barrels to the public. The C4 rail has been a proven rock solid rail for many, many years. Some of the hammer forged and stainless barrels coming from Monty in my opinion are the best available. Their middle weight profile hammer forged barrel was a gem. The 12.5 LW hammer forged barrel is really the only properly ported 12.5 out there. Their BCGs are also top notch and only in the 105-125 buck range. I would, and do choose these, for every rifle build over all other manufacturers. The CMR rails are excellent and have many useful lengths and still improving on them with the newest release of the origonal CMRs. The Recce and Mk12 barrels are absolute tack drivers.

I currently own many rifles from most manufacturers and Centurion belongs and is in, the KAC, LMT, DD, BCM, Colt conversation when choosing parts for the best possible build. I've been using their parts for years and will continue to support Centurion. If you haven't given them a go, you should see for yourself and get some of their gear.

Just browsed their site. That mk12 upper looks sweet. Wayyyy out of my budget, but maybe one day.

BCM complete lower (sans stock, if it makes a big difference)

I’d consider the Centurion Arms lower. Getting something that just needs an available upper snapped in, and maybe a stock, makes it more appealing/practical for those who don’t have or want boxes of LPK’s around.

I am not locked into a particular number, at this point I'm looking to see what sort of solid interest there is from people. Pretty soon, I'll make a poll in a dedicated thread so we can try to figure out numbers.

I've already shot Monty a text, he is pretty busy right now, and we aren't in any hurry. I'll post more info once I have better info.

Jeff Cross is a good guy, he is most certainly on the list of people I would want to do a group buy with.

I did one of Jeffs ambi lowers as a SBR. Actually, I did two of his lowers, even though I have magic paperwork I wanted to have personal SBR paperwork on hand in case things change. He makes nice clean stuff.

Sorry to get wordy on you, Stick, but while I'm supportive in principle it's gonna depend on price and what the Commie ass-pirates in Seattle and Olympia do whether I go for another complete serialed or double-down on 80%s. :(

[Vegas]

Nice. Sounds like you can make this work in some capacity. I think that small piece of customization (or something similar) would hook more people wanting to be a part of a limited run. I'll be in either way, I have a less desirable lower I'd like to switch out for something of better quality.

[RedXd]

I'd be interested in a M4C lower as well. But a GOOD quality LPK is always in demand.

I can check around a bit, but I'm not sure what margins are on the Magpul Bipods, and since it wouldn't be a direct buy from Magpul, I'm not certain how much savings could be gained.

I have zero contacts within that arena, so there isn't anything I can do there. I wish I had solid contacts, or any contacts at LMT, but I've tried and have got nothing.

This stuff takes time, and there are already a bunch of options on this group buy. From now on we will probably stick to one or two things. I love my CA 12.5" barrels, but it won't be happening on this GB.

[Wake27]

I'd love a Razor HD-E 1-6, but between the high price and the fact that Grant already has a solid price on them for mil, I doubt that'd be a viable option.

I’m more of a fan of their lower priced groups buys than I am a $1700 scope.

LMT is always my first choice on BCG’s, I understand that door is closed to is, so moving on....
2. Centurion Arms BCG
3. Sionics BCG W/ their bolt completion kit (the BCG with the special coating)
3. SF light with Arisaka mount kit
4. A good Ontario knife, (or another quality knife that does not cost $500, get a Kydex holster/sheath makes to make a molle ready M4C sheath
5. Tactical Tailor gun bag/drag bag

ETA: have we had any custom gear made for M4C besides the patches we did for Army Chief and the other swag?

Do we have any industry partners who can provide an “in” for us if none of them can produce what we want?

Since it would always be good to support site sponsors, perhaps a getting BCM to make a "Crane spec" 10.3” barrel would be a nice group buy. A DD “contract” MK18 barrel would also be nice. That’s become my favorite barrel.

The “unobtainium” Geissele MK16 short URG would impossible to resist as well.

The next GB we do may be set for a certain amount of units versus keeping it open ended. I want to make things as easy for the company as possible. Then again, maybe it won't, but I do think we will need to tighten time tables up a tad.

[grizzman]

I absolutely don't want to annoy the manufacturer/vendor that's helping make these happen.

If a product is available outside of the group buy, limiting the number of available units or the timeframe to participate makes a lot of sense.


Any quality BCG or iron sights would interest me....to go with the Centurion components.

I don’t think I’m the only one that wants a round handguard cap Kino for use with a MOE SL.

I have two bipods on Backorder through Brownells and depending on price/timeline, I would probably cancel those and get them through the group buy. I need a black picatinny and a FDE M-Lok.
