A new website/company launched yesterday. It's kinda like a firearm and accessory co-op in that you are a member and you get to order direct from the distributor. As stated you then get distributor pricing with no order minimum.
They have it all, firearms (normal FFL transfer processes followed), ammo, optics, build parts... a whole lot of most everything.
This 10/22 is $260, regular price:

I romped around and what I saw was the prices are pretty good on many things, on a smaller percentage of things, I could find them at other places lower priced. Overall, I liked the super vast amount of items available at good pricing. For example, I've been wanting a specific model of a Sar-9. I've found this model on sale at one other place that had the same pricing. Also the Otis Defense cleaning tools are very decently priced. There were a lot of things such as those examples. On the other hand, the Standard Manufacturing DP-12 can be found for $1k here and there, this club had it listed at $1.2k. There are minimal listed items such as firearms, ammo, optics. You need to do a search for things like triggers, build kits, supplies, etc.
You can start and stop your membership as you wish, by the month I believe... like no contract cell phone plan. If I were to join and pay, it'd be
1. If I needed numerous things, like an AR build,
2. Making a high dollar purchase,
3. Made regular purchases, like UPS was coming to my house a few times a month.
It's $12 per month and you can join with a credit card with a trial 2 day period so you can check it out without paying anything.

Are they using drop shipping like "Big Daddy Unlimited"? I'm ver Leary of companies without a track record.
That's valid Charles. Yes, they drop ship. I am not certain but believe this is the baby of a well know gun-tuber, Brandon Herrera. He's definitely involved and not just advertising this. Brandon ran for U.S. Texas Congress last election and gave the incumbent a serious run for his money. Brandon has 3.6 million subscribers on Youtube, and has been running his firearm build business for many years.
He has a whole lot to lose if this tanks. What it all comes down to for me, if this isn't on the up and up, it'll be found out quickly and word will also be spread quickly far and wide. He is also compadres with many other influencers from big to small. I'm sure there is a lot of crossover between his 3.6m people and the others, however I'm also certain there are millions more that aren't part of Brandon's 3.6m.
I suspect if there are any problems, it'll be growing pains those will be properly addressed.
Not related to this, but Brandon manufactured a working semi-auto AK in 50 bmg, the AK 50. Quite impressive.
