Is there an official statement on whether or not these coupons are actually being extended to the same date next year? If not I am going to have to buy what’s available rather than wait for what I truly want, haha.

I'd like to know as well. I haven't been able to buy what I'm waiting on because it's never in stock. Love my Geissele rifles!

They've said in like 3 different threads that they've been extended.
Here's one, two threads down. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Industry/Ambi-lower-in-the-works-/444-296419/ |

They should also make an announcement that you can no longer use the coupons on MK16 rails or URGI charging handles. Waited for months for them to be in stock and now the coupon I’ve held doesn’t work on them.......... ???????

I wonder if they can be used on the SD uppers or the SD rifles. The flash hider on the SD upper is not a geissele product so I wonder if it would cause the item to not be eligible. |

Just tried to order a MK16 rail that finally came back into stock using a coupon and it definitely won't apply it for the rail.
Came here and found this depressing thread... Two of the three other items I wanted to pick up are still out of stock. It's like trying to get a date with the most popular girl in school...her dance card is full and she's picky as hell. |

Glad I came here I’ve been waiting on the phone all morning trying to use the coupon on a mk16 rail and it wouldn’t let me.
Glad to here it’s been extended. What I really want is a super duty upper in od green 11.5”. I wish they’d make that happen |

Very sad but they offered me a 14.5 (that unfortunately still is processing) but when they come in I'm getting a 11.5 hopefully by next year. |

View Quote Yeah, the only thing that interests me is clone items, so Mk16 rail, NSN chargning handle, Fed rail, and SOPMOD optic mount. If the coupon can't be used on those then it blows for anything I'm interested in. Also seems like they really blew out the MSRP on full rifles just for these coupons. $2150 for an 11.5" colored rifle is getting close to KAC territory. Sure, they make sense at $1400 after coupon, but that MSRP is nuts. |

I'm accepting donated coupons for anyone that is too pissed to use theirs.

Can anyone confirm the codes actually work after August 1st?
Currently moderating an equipment exchange threads where the code that was sent didn’t work and trying to make sure the coupons were still working properly. |

View Quote Yes, I can confirm the coupon still works right now. Be aware, it only works on select things. Has to be a Geissele part or rifle. DOES NOT work with 3rd party optics, gunsmithing tools, or contract items (mk16 rails, NSN charging handles etc.) I can PM you a screen shot of mine working with date code in the bottom right. |

Quoted: Geissele continues to botch this whole thing. Guess I'll buy a different rail from another company! View Quote I understand contract items may fall under different rules because there not going to give uncle sam a discount i just wish it was spelled out in clear english. My dad's been chomping at the bit for a mk16 and now he's bummed out because its a no go. I think i may just buy him a larue sat or a centurion arms cmr. |

View Quote Urgi , mk16 , fed rail , fed charging handle , urgi charging handle any contract item . I dont think its 70% but it should be spelled out on the coupon , but thats not really the point the coupon was supposedly good for anything G produces and if not they needed to say so , there are a shit ton of people waiting to buy clone parts . I was just trying to help my pops build a solid rifle we have always had great luck with G until lately. So im going to build him a rifle with parts i trust. You guys like to make light of everyone elses problems because there not yours. G is apparently not real happy to share this information either they didnt reply to any calls from me or my dad i had to ask a mod in a different group to email them holy shit they answered him in 20 mins. G has also avoided this whole conversation. You two think i hate G nothing could be further from the truth i live right down the road from them and im more disappointed to see the company take the turn they have. |

No, we make light of it as it's an entirely entitled problem to have. Your coupon code doesn't work on a handful of items, a small subset mind you. Tough, they didn't have to give the discount code at all. If you actually even read the coupon, it mentions that restrictions may apply, no where on it did it mention a blanket covering of all Geissele items. They absolutely screwed up on Black Friday, my order wasn't finally received until sometime end of February/start of March but such is life. The items you list is an entirely SMALL subset of available items via Geissele and is more than likely closer to 20% or less. Support them or don't, I really don't care but people exaggerating the situation will always get me to roll my eyes, as the individual I originally replied to has done. As far as your claim that Geissele isn't happy to share the list of items this coupon isn't valid on, I'd be willing to bet the first individual I get in contact with via email or telephone will be more than willing to tell me what the code won't work on. Might take a bit of time, due to the bull shit COVID that has companies reduced in their capacity but betting I'll receive a higher level of customer service than that of Amazon. |

View Quote Knock yourself out i waited 2 weeks with radio silence left multiple messages but im sure you know better as you always think you do . I don't really give a shit how you feel or what you roll your shit bird eyes at. Waiting really wasn't the problem Geissele's inability to be up front and honest about pretty much everything to do with bf and the coupon is my problem. I don't give a shit how small a subset it is it's produced by G . G coupon only covers G products how hard is it to understand , i know what the coupon says i also have read multiple threads in here where Gacs says coupons only cover G kit no optic bundles etc maybe its you who needs to pay more attention, up to this point G hasn't said a word about contract items not being available i had to literally pry it out of them. Im not exaggerating anything just passing my experience along so others don't hold there coupons waiting for a fed rail or mk16 just to find G pulled another bullshit move. I haven't supported them since they refused to swap out a bcg that was beat to shit in my urgi brand new out of the box, i was just trying to help my dad out. |

The coupon codes say on them "some restrictions may apply", unfortunately the MK16 is one of those restrictions. We can do this one of two ways, either continue to offer them to everyone but with some pricing rules or not sell them to the public anymore. We'd like to keep them available for everyone.
Also if you were to look further down in our very own industry forum you'd see I've replied to this question in a thread titled "Can't use BF coupon code on Mk16?"... I'll copy my reply from that below. "Due to certain contracts we are unable to offer a discount greater than 10% on the MK16 rails or the URGI charging handles. Because of this no coupons or promotions will be valid for them beyond that. If you wanted to purchase one with your BF coupon please send us an email to [email protected] or give us a call at the shop and we'll help you get the 10% on those rails / charging handle and then you can use your 35% coupon for something else. I understand this is less than ideal for some of you and apologize for any frustration." Also we are all about sharing opinions even if it isn't entirely favorable, but please keep it civil guys or this thread goes away. -GACS |

I apparently missed the thread on that my apologies but im good. He's lost interest after the whole ordeal and went with a centurion cmr . He sold the coupon already its someone else's gamble now.

Quoted: So why are you here, just to bitch? Not trying to be a dick but I don’t get it View Quote Like i said above originally was looking into the thread because my dad couldn't get the coupon to work , couldn't get in touch with G until i had a third party email them and got a response in under 30 mins . Simply posted it here to let people know, then the clown above basically said it doesn't matter tough shit , so i replied. Gacs confirmed above and to be honest after 2 weeks of digging my dad lost intrest. I understand there are restrictions but you shouldn't have to go through all this to find out what they are. If G had simply stated on there coupon , Facebook , instagram or G's site what the restrictions are none of this would be going on. Them replying in a thread buried in a manf sub forum isn't really the best place to let your customers know. Take it as you will. |
