I was in the LGS picking up the stamp and can on an AAC 556 SD, and had planned to buy one or two more when I found out the price had gone up (was $449, now $569).
They said Silencerco was running a special to match the AAC sales and had the Specwar for $379 or M4-2K's in stock for $599. I didn't want to move away from the 51t (despite reported issues, I have had none) so that I could move cans from rifle to rifle, but for $379 I'm tempted to buy at least 2 (maybe more) and just leave them on their hosts all the time. Bad idea or not? ETA - title update |

$379 sounds like a screaming deal - but that's the first I've heard of Silencerco running a special. They sell through distributors so it might be a certain distributor running a sale?
|
|
New? That seems like a damned good deal to me. 556 Specwar is $550 and the 556 k is $524 @ the Silencershop in Tx. That includes a brake or FH. Otherwise the muzzle device runs $80-$90.
If someone in Texas had 'em new for that price and no BS, I'd drop coin for two of 'em on the spot. |
|
I wonder if SilencerCo would confirm of this special in their industry forum?
D_J, does this shop ship out of state, if so, do you mind letting us know who they are? |
|
That's an awesome deal. The local shops around here dont even have .22lr cans under $400. MSRP everywhere.
I would jump on that in a heart beat. |

View Quote I'm going to try and go back again later this week and I will confirm pricing and try to find out the answers to the other questions. I'll post the shop info at the same time, that way if I have any info mixed up they won't get deluged with calls like "Some asshole on arfcom told me you had this!!!!1!" |
|
I might have to go pick one up if that price is good for the Specwar K.
|
|
I don't need another 5.56 can, but I would buy at that price just on general principle!
|
|
I just called and it IS the Specwar 556 and it IS $379.
Seems too good to be true, but I'm going to go tomorrow and verify and buy at least two if the price is right. Hell, I may buy 4. |
|
|
|
If I found a specwar around here for that price, I'd buy at least 2. For real man. I thought the 500 or so I found online was pretty good.
|
|
At that I price I would definitely buy one or two regardless of other mounts I already have. That's cheap enough that you can just dedicate it to a specific gun.

Awesome! Unfortunately their website blows and doesn't actually show anything for sale, let alone the Specwars.

Actually, I called her on the way to the store... "Honey, how many do you think I should get?" "How many AR's do we have without one?" "5, but that would be like $3k." "Will it put us in the poor house?" "No." "Do whatever you think is best." "So long as you get one for your rifle, right?" "You got it." |

I love Cherokee gun and pawn, I don't live near them but I buy things from them at the gun shows. I got my wife's XDS for about $100 less then what every other shop was offering. Great score dude!

I'm not sure how many they have left now, but I just bought 2. I already own 1 Specwar 5.56 and a 7.62 , but at this price $369 I had to buy a couple. Thanks for the heads up!

Said they had "a few" in stock
I bought one. Thanks D_J I feel like I owe you a six pack of beer. $399 shipped to my dealer. FYI, silencershop would not price match and I did email them a link to this thread. Danial @ silencershop was nice and professional though |
|
Just picked one up. Guy was very nice and asked where I heard about it. Said about eight others called in to buy after seeing it here! Love ARF. Wallet hates me. Thanks for the heads up.

But I still like them and will buy from them in the future. |

Way to go Cherokee . I already have 3 other cans incoming . I have to slow down

I'm pretty interested in actual dealer cost on these things. |

I honestly don't know how Cherokee gun and pawn makes any money, they always have stupid cheap deals.....I'm not complaining though!
|

Never actually been to their store, but they are regulars at the gun shows around here. They always have amazing deals. I always stop by their booth and check out their stuff. I actually had no clue they were SOT. If I didnt just buy a 7.62SD last month I would have defiantly jumped on this deal. I'm pretty sure they do free ffl transfers for members of theoutdoorstrader (Ga local forum)

I'm not sure what kind of sale/promo they bought them on, but I haven't seen an opportunity to buy an Specwars at that price from anywhere. |
