Title: Anyone interested in a 30 round AR magazine group buy?
Post by: Mudinyeri on August 16, 2011, 08:57:06 PM
Bravo Company sells the D&H Industries (formerly LaBelle) 30 round aluminum mags with the enhanced Magpul follower for $799 per 100.  I don't need quite that many right now so I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a group buy.

Here's a link to the product page: http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/AR-15-Magazines-p/magazines%20dh%20bt30mf%20100%20pack.htm (http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/AR-15-Magazines-p/magazines%20dh%20bt30mf%20100%20pack.htm)

Keeping track of the commitments and payments:

A-FIXER: 13 Pick up TBD
bkoenig: 5 Pick up at Members' Meeting
RobertH: 3 Pick up at Members' Meeting

Post by: OnTheFly on August 25, 2011, 09:20:52 AM
I'm not that PayPal savvy.  Does anyone know if there is a way to make a "Personal payment" and do it as an "Instant Transfer" from a checking account?  This is the only option that would allow a person to avoid a fee, but this is greyed out and not offered as a payment option for me.

Update: Disregard...I just needed to add a second credit card as a backup and there are no fees.

It won't be me organizing that group buy.  I'm not a fanboy of the PMags.  In fact, since I ended up with a few more of these magazines than I'd originally intended ... I have a few PMags that I'd sell.  If you're interested, shoot me a PM.

Magazines are scheduled to be delivered today, guys!  If you bought some, post up with your location and how you would like to take delivery.  Options below:

1. Pick up at or near my home in the 156th & Maple area in Omaha
2. Pick up at Moeller Arms near 84th & Giles in Omaha - I can deliver there next Wednesday
3. Pick up at the NFOA Members' Meeting in October
4. Pay for shipping - I have plenty of USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate boxes

If none of those options work for you, shoot me a PM with your alternative proposal and I'll see what I can do.  I work in downtown Omaha and commute down Dodge Street so we might be able to work something out along that route.  I can't afford to drive all over God's green earth to deliver these though.

Pitiful?!  Pitiful?!  I just bought 15 magazines in this group buy, so I guess I am instantly as pitiful as you.  ;D I don't even have my rifle yet.  Well I do have the lower, but the upper is on back-order.  Your comment reminds me of something my wife said to me.  After I bought my PX4 in 9mm, I showed her one of the rounds and she said "Those are little!" (her dad carried a 45).  Talk about a blow to the man-ego.

You guys could have a little cash in your pocket instead of a pile of guns at the bottom of a lake.  I bet you guys feel silly.

You're right, I'm embarrassed that my careless boating caused such heartache and financial loss.

For those looking to pick up (potential replacement) magazines (for those at the bottom of lakes) at Moeller Arms, I will deliver them this evening around 6:30 or so.

See you there!
