Some have seen the 25% off thread in the coupons section. The company doing this sale also provides free shipping on orders over $150, so I am going to start a group buy so that we can all save on shipping and get a good deal. We are now over the $150min order for free shipping!

This place lists a number of mags and all are 25% off.

I am opening this group buy up to ANYTHING on their website! Free shipping and no tax adds up fast, so please feel free to browse Weston's site and order up! As you can see from his post below he is a local and a straight shooter!!

My biggest concern is how popular this sale may be nationwide and that the Company may run out of inventory, so I want to set a few ground "rules" in place so we all know what to expect if this goes sideways.
  • Order deadline will be 11:59pm Monday 10/29/2012, I will place the order with the vendor 1st thing Tuesday morning.
  • Payment in advance is required before order is placed, I take Paypal or can meet people in Tacoma/Puyallup for F2F if they preffer.
  • In the event of a shortage and the vendor backorder the rest, I will fill peoples orders First paid, First out.
  • If the vendor will not honor backorders, I will fill peoples orders First paid, First out, and refund everyone that does not get product.
  • I will keep on this thread a record of who is in and paid/unpaid/delivered as we move forward.

If we get shorted it may be nice if folks that already have mags would be willing to help or bow out and let those that do not have any yet get some, however I will leave that up to the individuals to arrange and decide on.

Any questions at all, please feel free to ask! Lets stock up!

Participants:
Lamrith - paid
General Nonsense - Paid - Delivered
Massive Design - paid - Delivered
Walt - paid - Delivered

Totals:
Pmag windowless 30rnd: 20
Pmag Windowless 20rnd: 1

Yep, didn't see any particularly good deals there, but appreciate the effort to get the group buy together. I know from experience that it's not easy to do.

$10.06 for P-Mags is a decent price.

Hey WaGuns!

Weston here from Fifth Brother Armory. I noticed quite a few visitors to the store that originated from waguns.org (a new one to me!) so I came poking around to check it out. I'm always happy to see another thriving firearms community! :patriot:

If I can address some of the comments...I agree that I don't have the best prices on factory handgun mags. Surprise! This is because I don't currently have a very good supplier for them, but this is something I hope to change in the future. The PW Arms Glock mags are very reasonably priced, in my opinion. It's the factory mags that are hard to source at wholesale right now. Unfortunately, my prices have to reflect this. Massivedesign pointed out my XD factory mags...guess what...I'm disgusted by the prices I have to list the S&W factory mags at too! No hard feelings if you choose to get them elsewhere.

On the other hand, if you look closely into the listings for the rifle and shotgun mags, namely Pmags, drum mags, Surefire mags, and Saiga mags, I believe you'll be hard pressed to find much better prices out there right now. This is where you can take full advantage of our current promotion. In fact, the Surefire 60rd mags are listed under a separate sale that was mistakenly marked at 35% Off, but we had already paid for banner ads pointing to it so I decided to just let it run its course, and chalk it up to marketing! (After paying credit card processing fees, these are basically going out the door at cost!)

This promotion that we're running was originally built around the high cap rifle and shotgun mags, but I decided to go for broke and lump all mags in, just on principle of generating awareness of our 2nd Amendment freedoms as we come into this pivotal election. (Get out and vote!) I've never been one for knocking on doors, handing out flyers, or making cold calls, but I wanted to do something to help generate some political awareness. Enter 'Beat the Barackalypse'. I simply decided to run the biggest promotion that we've done to date, with the largest discount across an entire category of product, with the hopes of generating more awareness. We are a small family owned outfit based in the northwest (Oregon), so 'biggest' isn't saying much considering, but it's something!

Even if you choose not to buy anything from the store, please please get out there and vote! Tell all of your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and everybody you can muster to get out and vote. I'm probably preaching to the choir here, so I don't have to say it, but the next presidency will likely decide the fate of our freedoms for decades to come. Whatever part you can play, play it. Whatever you can do, do it! :patriot:

I will do my best to fully support your group buy, at whatever level it turns out to be. If there are any questions that I can answer, don't hesitate to ask. I'll try to monitor this thread but you can also reach me through my website 'contact us' page if needed. Thank you for what you do to support your local firearms community...keep up the good fight! God bless and God bless the US of A!

Weston,

Good of you to drop in! :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2:

Love the "Beat the Barackalypse" slogan, my brother.

Are you brick and mortar down south? If so, tell us more about where your shingle is hung. I might be interested in dropping in sometime when down that way.

I had to throw in too. Made the free shipping w/o a group buy. Can't wait to have my new mags! Replacing all my steel 30rnd mags with pmags, and I bit the bullet on a 100 rounder for S&G. Thanks for the heads up and great deal!

Welcome to WaGuns, Weston! :wavey:

Thanks for taking the time to write that up, and for your brutal honesty about the pricing -- both good and bad.

Wow! That was a great intro. Refreshing honesty when it comes to your pricing and your high moral ground when it comes to riding the mistake out on a typo.

Ordering some PMAGS through the group buy now!
