Ok all, I have something a little different for you today and something of personal importance to me.
Our good friends at SWAT Magazine happen to have a wonderful publication. Rich Lucibella has been a friend and fan of the site for years and I want to do something a little special for him to increase exposure. What we're going to do here is get new subscribers or renewals to SWAT Magazine and offer up as much support for these guys as possible. We're setup through their system to receive a small portion from each subscription, so look at it as a great way to get your hands on good reading, while helping the site in the process. The big gain is not the few dollars which come back at us, but the impression we can leave by signing up! Rich and I are also discussing a few options to help bring the two entities a little closer together and increasing support for each other. While I can't say what the outcome will be, it's an honor to even have an opportunity like this. My hope is that everyone here benefits from the information in the magazine and that we bring a little bit of that knowledge back to the site. If you're interested, please click HERE and sign up! |

I've been planning on ordering a subscription, looks like I have one more reason now.
|
|
I've never even really seen the mag! What kind of stuff do they write about?
|
|
I'm in. Love the mag anyway and if it helps us too that's a doubley good reason.
|

If you click on the link, it should have a preview section from the current issue. They cover just about everything we talk about here, guns, training, equipment and so forth. I really enjoy getting my issues and you know I wouldn't talk it up if I didnt like it. I can send you a copy if you want, just have to return it to me later. Just to back up my own support of this, I will give away two subscriptions today to some lucky team members . Later tonight I will draw the names and contact them. To be included in this, just post in my topic in the team forum throughout the day! (Going to go post a topic right now!) |

I recommend SWAT magazine as a good source of information on tactical gear and weapons... Not only that, but they also run some GREAT reviews of tactical training offered by one of our industry partners (who is also a good friend of mine), Defensive Edge.
Great magazine with good reviews. |
|
As a matter of fact I was sitting on the can reading my SWAT magazine this AM .
The article on the new OLY 9mm AR15 type rifle that take only glock mags. was pretty good. Fine gun rag with training tips and gun porn plus Lightfighters new ad in this months issue. I had no idea I was supporting the site too. |
|
It's early in the morning and only on first cup of joe, so... I went to sign up but didn't see anything in the sign up fill in the blank section that would distingiush my sign up to be part of this ARFCOM drive. Did I just miss something, or are we supposed to just add a comment in the shipping section that would signify ar15.com subscriber?

Once you go through the link in the subject (or click on the image on the homepage of the site) you will be tagged as coming from AR15.Com and will be all set. If you want to include any comments when you sign up, I'm not sure it's even possible. (Haven't gone through the online subscription yet, but I will tonight when I send out susbscriptions!) |

Hey guys, I can vouch for this magazine. It is awesome!! The articles are all well written, and on a variety of subjects. The subjects have ranged from Pat Rogers article on the United States Marine Corps M1911A1 to what supplies to have on hand for a nuclear war. The magazine is a lot more than just eye candy. It has substance. I highly recommend them (and I have no affiliation with the magazine whatsoever).
I have been going to our local bookstore for the last year and purchasing it there to support them. Since this offer has now arrived, it makes sense for me to get a subscription. Bigfeet Edited to change had to has. |

This is a good mag with some of the latest trick weapons out their.
|
|
Great mag...I always buy at the stand..but now I have a good reason to get a subscription....tagged.

Thanks much for the suppoert, JA.
And thanks to the rest of you for the kind words and interest. I purchased SWAT in '01 as a "Social Experiment". I wanted to see if we could provide real content, rather than info-ads, and be successful. So far, so good. What's more important is the writers this attitude has attracted: Louis Awerbuck, Pat Rogers, Clint Smith, Jeff Gonzales just to name a few. Beginning the next issue, we'll feature a Shooting Debriefs coulmn, each issue, written by Scott Reitz. Anyone who knows or has trained with Scotty can tell you what he's all about. I'll simply say he's another legend in the industry. For those who want to preview what S.W.A.T. is about, we offer our free download PDF's, S.W.A.T. SnapShots, in the online store. These are full article samples from all previous issues....kind of like a "mini-magazine". If you do decide to join us, please do so thru the link on Ar15's home page or the one at top of this thread. That will automatically tag your cookie as being from this site. Thanks again- Rich Lucibella Publisher [email protected] |

SWAT is a great rag, could not do without it.
Thanks Rich, what a great publication! |
|
Come on guys don't fall asleep on me now!
I'm not sure how many subscriptions we've gotten signed up, but I'm sure there's a few people who would really enjoy this and need something to read! |
|
Already got my receipt from PayPal - one subscription confirmed.
|
|
Just bought a SWAT on the newsstand, I will get a subscription soon. Great magazine.

just put in for a subscription but when I clicked to checkout and put in the CC # it just went to a blank white screen... hopefully it went thru
|
|
I LOVE THE MAG......they just cashed my check for my subscription.
|

Jeferson-
Based on the timing of your post and your location, yes, the order went thru. Thanks much. Once you submit your order it goes thru one of them-there high-dollar credit card clearing houses and the screen goes blank for a few seconds until a reply is received. Did I say a few seconds? We'll I've seen it take up to 20 seconds! Some people move off early, but the order is still received. You should have received an automated email confirm. If not, email me: [email protected] Rich |
|
|
I'll be signing on. My old team was covered in an article in this pub. in the late '80's.
Who knows, maybe I'll get one of the memberships here. |
|
yea i got the email thanks |
|
|
It's so nice to see Rich excited about something.
Ok I upgraded all the new memberships so everyone has a shot at the one's I'm giving out! Post in the Team Forum thread by 11pm EST tonight for a shot! Who knows, I may hop into chat tonight and pick another name or two to add to the cause! |
|
Anybody else look at the title of this thread and read it as "AR15.COM support drivel"?
|
|
I was just reading one on the can a few hours ago... I guess this gives me an excuse to get the subscription....
Plus, all the kiddies in the student mailroom are going to piss themselves. Subscription order due in on Monday.... as is a Bronze, maybe Gold, Arfcom membership. - BUCC_Guy |
|
Awesome mag, it is one of the few mags I subscribe to.
ETA, is there a chance of S.W.A.T., I know you guys are watching, doing an article on the Galil, Uzi, and now switching over to the M4? -Or the IDF in general- I haven't read many back orders, so if you guys have covered this , awesome! |
|
Sounds good to me. Might have to take a closer look at this one.
|
|
This is from a thread in another forum and it speaks well if SWAT magazine. link
|
|
Done, signed up for the 3 year tour.
If I win does that mean I get four? |
|
SWAT is one of the few magazines I already subscribe too. I just sent in a renewal last week |
|
Ok I'm a little loopy from lack of sleep tonight!
Since we gave out subscriptions to SWAT last night for Team Members, lets now reverse this and give out a few memberships to non-team guys who subscribed or renewed their subscription! If you subscribed, please post in here the time you signed up. (You should have a confirmation email!) I will match that to the list we have and draw a few names for memberships! Let's give this until the weekend is over to see how many people signed up and we'll decide on how many memberships I'll throw your way! Here's another chance to get a great magazine and support the site at the same time! |
|
Done. I needed a push to get off my ass and subscribe anyway.
edited to add confirming email recieved 8/21/04 13:01:49 (must be gmt) |
|
I just picked up the latest issue from Barnes & Noble but I'll go subscribe now so I can start receiving them in the mail next month!
|
|
Team membership would ROCK. My favorite magazine, and favorite website. From the email:
Order Number: SWAT200408211 Date: 08/21/2004 Time: 01:57:03 |
|
Been a patron of both ar15.com & S.w.a.t. mag. It's good to see them working together.
Those are two memberships I renew without question. |
|
TMI ! |
|
|
I am going to go out and buy an issue right now! It will give me something to read while my wife is getting better! If I dont win (and I never do ) I will subscribe to it. I think this sort of "helping" each other out between businesses thing is a good idea, and promotes our hobby even more!
