TFB Weekly Web Deals 44: Optics, Uppers, and Mags, Oh My!

Today we’ve got some great deals from Primary Arms, Palmetto State Amory, and many more.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 43: Get Lucky with Post-St. Paddy's Day Deals

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 43! I hope everyone’s St. Patrick’s Day weekend was not only full of many libations and good conversations, but also plenty of shooting! The Irish certainly had their own influence on the modern firearms culture we see in the world today and in fact, the Irish were some of the first people to document the use of arquebuses by German mercenarians operating in Dublin in the latter half of the 15th century. A more familiar and modern influence from Ireland comes from John Rigby when he founded John Rigby & Co Gunmakers Limited in 1775. Today Rigby makes very high-end hunting rifles and is now under the ownership of the L&O Group, which also owns Blaser, Sauer, and Mauser. Anyway, this has nothing to do with any of the deals that we’ve gathered for you today, but I did want to share this tiny bit of Irish firearms history with you all! Enjoy this week’s deals in TFB Weekly Web Deals 43!

TFB Weekly Web Deals 42: Guns, the Universe, and Everything

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 42! Any science fiction nerd out there probably has their mind permanently tainted by that number and its association as the answer to “Life the Universe and Everything” at least according to the 1978 Douglas Adams novel Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I’m not insulated from those thoughts which leads me to remember the enjoyable 2005 film adaptation and its inclusion of the “Point of View Gun” (this was not present in the novels). This other golden gun was in the shape of a rifle and its blast when directed at its victims could make them see things from the shooter’s point of view. Where am I going with this? Seeing things from someone else’s point of view is a handy social skill to have and one that I think is becoming increasingly rare even within the firearms industry. I don’t want to get too preachy, but maybe next time instead of getting into an internet argument with a stranger, you can just share some nice sales on guns and ammo with one another?

TFB Weekly Web Deals 40: New Year, New Builds

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 40! We’re nearing the end of the first quarter of this year and I’ve got about 5 different unfinished project guns I’m working on right now. I suppose you could say that my new year’s resolution is to finish at least one of them before I start another one – we’ll see how that pans out. This week we’ll be featuring some of the deals I’ve come across on parts, tools, complete and stripped uppers, lowers, and other parts that you might want to throw on a build for yourself, a friend, or a loved one just getting into firearms.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 39: Two is One and One is None

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 39. Ahh yes, the power of redundancy. While there is something to be said for the equally valid “buy once cry once” phrase, I often find that “two is one and one is none” is far more applicable when it comes to firearms and equipment. Good optics break, great weapon lights fail, firearms components break, and as we are all too familiar with, batteries run out sometimes at the most inopportune times. For TFB Weekly Web Deals 39, I’ve found some deals on firearms components and accessories you might want to keep a spare of so you’re not missing out on precious range time while your stuff is out of commission or being put under warranty service.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 37: 5 Items That Are Always in My Range Bag

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 37. With the start of the new year, I had a little bit of precious downtime to take care of some administrative tasks with my gun gear. This meant cleaning out my range bag. The range bag I personally use the most is a 5.11’s Range Ready Bag 43L. This bag has been with me for a long time and has served me well, has a ton of space for a lot of guns, ammunition, and of course all the other random tools and gear that are almost always with me. If you’re looking for a fresh start to your range trips, you might want to consider picking one of these up – it will probably last you a lifetime. Today for TFB Weekly Web deals 37 we’re going to take a look at 5 items that are always in my range bag that go beyond the basics (eye pro, ear pro, IFAK, etc).

TFB Weekly Web Deals 36: Stocking Stuffers for Gun Guys

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 36. The holiday season is in full swing and if you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet, you’re probably most likely out of luck considering most places have extended lead times in the two weeks preceding Christmas. However, if you’re determined to wrap up that Christmas list and check everyone off, today we’ll be providing you with some of our favorite types of stocking stuffers. These are small items you can give to friends, work colleagues, or family members who love gun stuff, but might just be a little too hard to shop for this close to the actual holiday.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 35: Upgrading Your AR-15

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 35. The holiday season always brings in a lot of new guns and new gun owners. Whether you’re picking up your first AR, or your 15th AR, there’s always room for improvement from the base product unless you’re already paying top dollar for one. In light of that fact, today we’ll be focusing on things that you can buy to upgrade a budget AR-15 beyond what already comes on it. If you’re looking for a couple of great examples of what TFBTV staff does with this concept, you can check out one of our more recent videos where TFBTV’s James Reeves and Hop are in the midst of a build-off where they’re working with a budget of just $1,250. If you like the idea of taking a basic AR-15 rifle and upgrading it yourself or you just happen to find yourself with an extra rifle this holiday season, these deals on firearms parts are sure to help you make those upgrades and save you a few bucks in the process. We’ll also be throwing in a handful of other neat deals I’ve found across the web from this last week. Happy building everyone!

TFB Weekly Web Deals 34: Thanksgiving Leftovers

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 34! Just last week we were able to gain access to some long-awaited savings with plenty of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to be had at. Personally, I took the opportunity to get free shipping on some ammunition, picked up a handful of gifts for friends to get ahead of the Christmas rush, as well as picked up barrels for some upcoming projects. All in all, not the best Black Friday/Cyber Monday I’ve seen but not bad either. If you missed out on some of these deals, then there really isn’t too much to worry about as a lot of the companies that held sales have extended them well into the month of December and today we’ll be bringing you some of the Thanksgiving leftovers we’ve found from some of our favorite online firearms retailers.

SAVE: Celebrate The Season With Beretta Pistol Rebates

Giving gifts is a great feeling. Giving a gun as a gift feels even better. Unlike most electronics or consumer goods, properly cared for, a firearm can be passed down for generations. To sweeten the deal this season,  Beretta is offering rebates on select pistols purchased in the next few months. These Beretta pistol rebates can be used when you are buying gifts for family members, or when you are just buying something for yourself. Personally, I’m leaning toward the threaded Tomcat as my next suppressor host. Details can be found below.

2022 TFB Black Rifle Friday and CyberGun Monday Deals – 11/28 @ 1245

Despite having a majority of the country locked up for nearly two years, I still don’t think most of us are really itching to get out and be duking it out with our neighbors over flat-screen TVs or whatever newfangled nuclear-powered air fryer is going to be on sale for this year’s Black Friday. Thankfully the guys over here at TFB and TFBTV are mostly online shoppers and that’s why once again we’re proud to bring you some of the industry’s deepest discounts on some of their most highly sought-after products for 2022. While I don’t think we’ll be seeing any H&K MP7s, G36s, or General Electric M134 Miniguns on sale, I do think that with the hefty amount of new gun releases combined with a noticeable uptick in retro firearms purchasing in 2022, we’re sure to see some good deals out there. So strap on your biggest pair of post-Thanksgiving sweatpants, grab a cup of joe, sit back, and join us for the 2022 TFB Black Rifle Friday and CyberGun Monday deals!

5 Items I've Used and I Trust are on Sale for Black Friday

5.11 has an extensive catalog that can be intimidating. Many items come and go – some are absolutely fantastic and some aren’t missed – but there are five specific staples that I have used for years which I recommend without reservation. Even several TFB writers and editors have given in to my repeated endorsements of the five below, and are now themselves converts. 5.11 is having their annual Black Friday sale, which means you’ll be getting up to 40% off of select items today. Maybe some of these will be on the list. Whether you’re picking up something for a spouse, your cameraman, something from your favorite tactical OnlyFans operator’s wish list, or for yourself (you definitely deserve it by the way…unless you are a TFB Disqus commenter), here’s the gear that has made me a believer after extensive use.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 33: Early Black Friday 2022 Deals

Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 33. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that also means that Black Friday sales aren’t that much further away. However, over the years, Black Friday sales have grown to encompass virtually the week before and week after Black Friday and because of that a lot of gun companies are releasing some early Black Friday deals so some customers can beat the rush if they’re looking for things they want or need. Today we’ll be featuring some of the best early Black Friday deals I’ve found so far.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 32: Bipods For Your Favorite Rifle

Hello and welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 32! Bipods have been around nearly as long as firearms. Even primitive hand cannons made as far back as the 12th century have detailed records showing that these gargantuan blasters made use of simple poles or long sticks to stabilize the shooter’s position prior to the shot. Today we do pretty much the same thing (in some cases literally the same thing) but for most of us the trusty bipod has become a more nuanced piece of equipment with some people looking for the lightest possible option, and others looking for the toughest bipods that the planet has to offer. No matter what you’re after, we’ve compiled a handful of great options that are on sale so hopefully, you can round out your latest build with a simple piece of accurizing equipment that you can take with you anywhere your rifle goes.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 31: Dedicated .223/5.56 Riflescopes

The venerable .223 Remington cartridge is considered by many to be the most popular and common in-use cartridge across the United States for rifles. The intermediate cartridge was designed in 1962, received SAAMI certification in 1963, and was eventually developed into the 5.56×45 NATO cartridge in the 1980s as SS109 or M855. Whether you use .223/5.56 as your go-to cartridge in an all-around peace-of-mind firearm or you a dedicated pest control or traditional hunter, having accurate shot placement is made a lot easier with dedicated optics that take the guesswork out of your holdover. Today for TFB Weekly Web Deals 31, we’ll be taking a look at some fresh fall deals on optics specifically designed around the .223 Remington cartridge.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 28: EuroOptic Closeouts and Other Optic Deals

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 28. We’re really fortunate these days to have access to some of the best optics the industry has developed for military and civilian hands. New optics like the recently released Holosun EPS and EPS Carry, or the new WHISKEY6 3-18x44mm riflescope are just two of the great new options that have been released this year. However, there are a lot of older optics that still hold their weight today and can get the job done just about as well as some of the more modern options we have now. A lot of these older optics are often on sale and can be picked up for some pretty deep discounts that might just make up for their lack of modernized features that the market is constantly demanding. Today we’ll be featuring a handful of closeout deals on EuroOptic.com featuring these optics as well as a couple of other optics deals we’ve found from some of your other favorite online retailers.

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 27!

TFB Weekly Web Deals 26: On-Sale Magpul AR-15 Stocks

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 26. A stock is one of the most important pieces of furniture you can select for your rifle. While you can operate an AR-15 with a standard stock that usually comes with the rifle you’re purchasing, if you really want to optimize your rifle for you and your mission, you’ll probably want to upgrade it to something that has a few more features over a standard M4-style telescoping stock. Today we’ve brought you a small selection of Magpul stocks which are some of the best stocks in the industry and are made from very tough and durable glass-reinforced polymer. What’s great about Magpul’s stocks is that they are 100% made and engineered in the United States. All of the stocks featured in TFB Weekly Web Deals 26 are MIL-Spec, although, many of these stocks are available in commercial buffer tube widths as well. If you’re looking for those, you can visit http://magpul.com/stocks/ to check out their commercial offerings.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 25: Aftermarket AR-15 Triggers

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 25! When it comes to the subject of AR-15, few components are as hotly debated as the triggers. The standard mil-spec AR-15 trigger isn’t necessarily bad but it does have room for improvement. The choice of whether or not to go with an aftermarket trigger is largely going to come down to your specific preferences as well as what type of shooting you’re doing and what your goals are in terms of accuracy, split times, and safety. So today we’ll be taking a look at some of the most popular (currently discounted) options for aftermarket triggers from some of your favorite online retailers.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 24: AK-Style Rifles and Pistols

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 24. Aside from the AR-15 in the United States, few firearms worldwide are as recognizable as the AK. Originally designed and first produced in the years following the conclusion of the Second World War, the AK-47 and its derivatives have spread across the globe in great numbers and are still in some forms used to this day by militaries, private citizens, and rogue organizations. Despite decades of it being the “enemy’s gun” during the years of the cold war, the AK-style rifle has gained a healthy following in the western world, and both fans and detractors of the AK rifle can at least appreciate its mass adoption, legendary durability, and simplicity of design. In honor of that achievement and to perhaps help one of you budding AK enthusiasts out there find the deal you’ve been waiting for, we’ll be featuring all AK-style rifles and pistols for the TFB Weekly Web Deals 24.

TFB Labor Day Deals: Celebrating the American Gun-Toting Worker

Happy Labor Day everyone! While we will be forgoing our regular daily posting, we couldn’t leave our faithful readers high and dry regarding the great Labor Day sales going on today. However, just a quick recap on the history of Labor Day if you allow me. Labor Day was officially recognized as a federal holiday on June 28th, 1894 when congress passed a bill recognizing the event as a statutory holiday for the entire country. Before that, however, Labor Day can trace its observance on a state level back to my home state of Oregon which was the first state within the union to make it a public holiday in 1887, largely at the behest of trade unions and labor movements to set aside a day to celebrate the American worker and the contributions laborers made to the nation’s growth and success. Fast forward over 130 years, and Labor Day is a much celebrated national holiday for every American as we take the three-day weekend to meet up with friends, family, and loved ones and enjoy the unofficial end of summer. I think it’s important on weekends like this to take some time to seek out friends and family and to enjoy the fruits of your hard work throughout the year. Whether that’s with a barbecue, family vacation, or just a much-needed trip to the range, you should really take this time to enjoy everything we have in this great nation of ours that we’ve all helped contribute to. Now everybody put on your best white outfit and let’s dig into some hot Labor Day firearms sales!

TFB Weekly Web Deals 22: Perfect Pairs (Guns That Use The Same Magazine)

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 22! The concept of the “perfect pair” isn’t anything new but it’s still one that optimizes efficiency in terms of compatible magazines. Magazines, although considered by many to be expendable or consumable firearms part, do still cost quite a bit of money and just a dozen of them can set you back hundreds of dollars depending on the firearm you’re trying to feed. Today we’re going to be focusing on getting you pair of firearms that use the same magazines so that you can spend less on magazines, and more on ammunition and training with your firearms.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 21: Red Dot Optics Aplenty

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 21! This week we’re focusing on red dot optics. Red dot optics have come a long way over the last 47 years since the first commercially available one hit the market. Whereas reflex or red dot sights used to be considered only for the realm of competitive shooting, we now have them on nearly every firearm out there from frontline combat rifles to our daily concealed carry firearms. Today we’ll be checking out some of the best currently available deals for red dot optics for rifles, pistols, shotguns, and more.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 20: Ammopalooza Edition

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 20! Ammunition has finally made its way back onto store shelves and I always like to come back around to this subject every so often to give myself a bit of a reality check when it comes to ammunition prices. The first observation right off the bad is that, yes, things are still expensive and they don’t look like they are going to come down in price anytime soon. Second, I’ve noticed that hunting ammunition is a lot more popular this year and a lot harder to find, especially when it comes to some of the more recently popular hunting cartridges like 6.5 Creedmoor. With H.R. 1808 ominously looming over our heads, I wouldn’t be surprised if more magazines start disappearing from the shelves as a precautionary measure by some. So in addition to some ammunition deals I’ve found, I’m also including some deals on quality AR-15 magazines in case you want to stock up. Never, ever stop buying magazines.

TFB Weekly Web Deals 17: Primary Arms Sale and Clearance Items

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 17! Primary Arms has been a huge supporter of both the blog and the TFBTV YouTube channel for quite some time.

Speaking of that, if you’re in the market for a new backpack, Primary Arms is having a 60% off sale on their own brand of backpacks which should be ending sometime this morning (7/25).

TFB Weekly Web Deals 16: PSA Celebrates Freedom Week

Welcome to TFB Weekly Web Deals 16. July often seems to be the month that I pick up the most gear, firearms, and ammunition. With Independence Day at the beginning of the month, followed by Prime Day the week following, and now Palmetto State Armory’s “Freedom Week,” July just seems like a good month to start stocking up on guns, gear, and ammunition. This week we’ll exclusively be featuring deals found on the Palmetto State Armory website and they’ve got everything from arms to ammunition and even some great discounted optics for sale not only today but for the rest of the week.

Summer Deals: Buy An FN 509 Pistol, Get Free Gear

Who doesn’t like free stuff? For a limited time, purchasing an FN 509 Tactical or other FN 509 pistol model qualifies you for a credit to the FN e-Store of up to $120. Sure, you can buy mesh-backed hats, gnome t-shirts, or shot glasses. But if it were me, I’d put the store credit towards more magazines, a new SCAR barrel, or an M249S PARA. Wait, the M249S isn’t listed on the FN e-Store. But the 200-round belt soft pack for the M249S is eligible for the promotion. Now I just need the crew-served weapon. Details can be found below.
