Rick is part of the blog family so he asked me to pass the info along and I am more than happy to do so.

Hey All.

Welcome to our first email blast. Unless you live under a rock, you are aware of the new push our “friends” in the legislature and on CNN are making towards trying to ban the AR-15. Well, if you are like me, you are thinking perhaps you should acquire one (or another one) before you can’t anymore. The problem is that they are next to impossible to actually find in stock right now, at least at a reasonable price. Our regular distributors do not have any and I cannot even back order/reserve any that might come in.

Well, I recently signed up with a manufacturer to be an authorized reseller of theirs. The company is Aero Precision and they are actually the OEM manufacturer for many of the budget AR brands, apparently including Palmetto State and Ruger (per some discussion boards I have read online).

Aero Precision has a wide range of parts and firearms and while not the lowest cost of all the ones out there, they are very high quality and thus we can get a better rifle for the cost an entry level one. More importantly, the key thing here is that we can actually get inventory from them. Yes, there is a 4-week lead time at the moment due to a lack of lowers, but we can “get in line” to get what we want.

We have put together a very nice base AR-16 556 with some upgrades including a Bushmaster 30-round magazine and a red-dot reflex sight from Sunmark.  The cost of the rifle is $599, plus $25 to cover shipping and background check/transfer fee (credit cards are 3% extra to cover those fees).  They go for $735 on the Aero Precision website with just regular sights. For $599 plus $25 fee, you get a very nice AERO AC-15 Complete Rifle. See it at https://aeroprecisionusa.com/aero-ac15-complete-rifle.html (same rifle but with upgraded optics and Bushmaster magazine)

When you compare it to the cheapest Palmetto State Arms rifle ($599 but on sale at the moment for $499), you are only about $100 more expensive, and the reflex sight itself is over $60 on Amazon. So you get a far better rifle for less than $50 more than the cheapo PSA rifle. Also, if we purchase 6 or more them, we can pass along the price break and do them for just $599 with no shipping/background check fee. I did some looking around and found nothing but good things written about them. This is a good overview review of them from what appears to be an unbiased source: https://www.tactical-life.com/firearms/test-aero-precision-ac-15-rifle/

To the extent you want to play Barbie dress up we can customize your rifle, but this represents a pretty nice starter rifle that one can build on, or really enjoy as is. If you are interested in purchasing one, please let me know ASAP. I would like to place the order next Friday, March 9th so we can get in line ASAP. We can also order any parts or other items you see on their website, likely at prices considerably better than what you see there.

Feel free to forward this to any friends/family that might be interested. Interested parties should contact me via email at rick@305guns.com and we can move forward from there. Again – we plan to order after next Friday.

Thanks!
Rick
