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?

$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.

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!"

BUY TWO AT THAT PRICE!

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.

That beats the $399 I got mine for! Hell of a deal!
Link Posted: 12/17/2014 11:31:03 PM EDT

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.

Let us know how it goes. I'm really hoping someone didn't mix Specwar up with Spectre.

Go big or go home.  Now, don't tell my wife.



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'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

Yeah, they would not price match the Blackwing (Ohio) price, which was $399 for Black Friday. But I still like them and will buy from them in the future.

No worries. I have enjoyed your advice and perspective on the tactical gear forum, so consider it payback.

So did they actually tell you only six left because it seems like we've bought way more than 6...
Anybody know if they'll swap devices for a MB?

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

When I called on Wed (I think it was) they said they had 10 in stock.  That might have been incorrect, which would throw all the other numbers off.  I didn't verify how many were left when I bought mine, just assumed based on the original info, so apologies if I messed anyone up.

Doesn't matter one way or the other to me.

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)
