The GOOD DEALs and INTERESTING find thread!

[1BallJ]

Speaking of Eurooptics, they have the Athlon Argos BTR 1-8 w/Mount for 379. You can find the optic for 379 lots of places but seems like a decent deal with the mount.

I had considered this optics for my first LPVO without breaking the bank. Hesitated because I don't know if the value is there compared to a Primary Arms or Vortex

@pag23
I hate to be the guy that would recommend such a thing... But I was recently in search of some cost effective plates akin to level III+. If the new Hesco D220's rated for DEA specific rifle threats were cheaper I'd have bought those, but I ended up settling on Militechs after watching some ballistic reviews. If your interested I can share some links.

No worries..prefer Hesco as they are made in the US....bit of an upgrade from my LAPGs..

Bone Frog still has SOST at $750/case of 500. Not anything I'd call a deal at a buck-fitty a round when Mk 262 is only a buck per over at Midway, but if it's a Gotta Have At Any Price... well, right now it's about the only thing on the Doc Roberts List I've seen in stock anywhere at any price lately. At this price I'll stick to my 500 rds of Mk 262 and hope I don't need to order another case... set one box of 50 aside for forensics and mag up 420 between the rifles and hope I can do function-check and sight-in with the remaining 30 as 15 on each.

Is SOST still in production even? I thought Congress tried to kill it and make everybody standardize on M855A1...

100% agree in getting US made where I can, but the L210's are a downgrade from LAPG Level III's unless your specifically referring to weight. Maybe not a concern for you but from the testing reviews I've seen the L210's get penetrated by M193 from muzzle velocities over the 3,150 ft/s rating, which is easy to achieve with a barrel 18" or longer. It does not stop M855A1 (irrelevant as it's not rated for it) and M80 (also not rated for it) either. There are plenty of plate choices available that will stop M80 rounds and M193's from longer barrels even if they aren't rated for it. I don't think I'd ever bother with a plate that can't handle them. You do you brother, but if you are going to trust your life to a plate just make sure you know what you have.

*Completely disregard in entirety if your concern is 7.62x39 AP threats from 16" barrels*

Mine came in yesterday, just like the blem'd BCM uppers, I fail to see the anodizing issue.

Well pleased. It is one of the nicer logos, which is why I bought it.

They ship fast as well, so there is that.

Glad that worked out for you. I was tempted but I have other things that are higher priority on my list.

Ammo, misc gear and want to put a red dot on my pistol.

No worries..appreciate you reaching out. I did some research on the cheaper HESCO so I won't be going that direction. BAO tactical is on the list...

Send over what info you can....worth a looksey.

Question to everybody... I'm looking to put together an M45A1-style kit for my old warhorse non-railed 1911, and Amazon has a Safariland 6004 SLS non-railed in Earth Brown for around $80.

Is this something I should pounce on since *any* FDE/MCT/similar 6004's for southpaw 1911's are hard to find, or is it a "Run Away Like It's A Monty Python Killer Rabbit?

Is there a specific carry location/color/price range in mind?
