Black Friday Sales.
« on: November 22, 2017, 05:18:26 PM »
Local gun store (and pawn shop) who does a big business at gun shows, is having a blowout Black Friday sale.   To me the most notable item is the basic 10/22 for $159.   YES!  I'll finally get to start my custom build.   This beats the $169 I was going to pay for a used one at Shoot Straight (Tampa).

I'm wondering does Ruger have a MAP agreement?   Is Ruger under-righting such a discount?  Or is Cherokee Gun Store (Canton, GA) just using this as a loss leader to get people to the store.  Not a great store. More of a greasy pawn shop specializing in contractor tools.   Most of their gun business is at gun shows.

Anybody else got really good deals?

This is why I avoid "Black Friday". People are nuts. I think I can live with waiting, and paying a few bucks more. Or else buy after the holidays.

not necessarily a "deal" but I ordered one of the Colt M4 lowers from Brownells for $250.... I had a 16" Colt HBAR upper that had been sitting in the safe since it's retirement in 2005, but instead re barreled a real 14.5" Colt M4 barrel on,  pinned and welded the long flash hider to make it 16"... don't know why, but having a fixed sight, plastic hand guard, all Colt was the objective... regards

I'm not in the market for any more guns, ammo, or accessories so no good deals for me. From Black Friday until New Year's day one road near me has a crazy amount of traffic. They're Christmas shopping for a month and returning things for a week. I've seen it backed up for 2.5 miles on the way to one of the local shopping malls. Friday I don't plan on going any farther than my sidewalk when I check my mail.

No plans at all for Small Business Saturday, and no big plans for Cyber Monday either, when Americans are expected to spend 4 billion dollars in 1 day.

Saved by the ad

Adventure Outdoors (Smyrna, GA, 15,000+ guns in stock) has run an ad that next week they'll meet and knock 5% off any advertised Good Friday PRINT ad.   

Guess what? I saved the Print edition of the paper with the ad from Cherokee Gun.

Here's the two ads.

So I can stroll down to Adv Out any time next week and save an additional $8.  No crowds to fight.

I noticed that too.  I have no doubt they are hard working taxpayers...

Heck, that one red-headed "lady" looks like she's trying to take a bite of that other poor lady in the midst of the struggle.  :o :o ;D
