This GB is now CLOSED. Congrats to all who ordered!
Update 3/10: PLATES HAVE DELIVERED TO OUR WAREHOUSE- WE BEGIN SHIPPING LATE THIS WEEK STARTING WITH THOSE WHO HAVE SUBMITTED ALL THEIR PAPERWORK ALREADY. WINDOW TO COMPLETE YOUR ORDER ENDS ON 3/13 SO DO NOT DELAY- WE WONT HEAR YOUR SAD STORIES IF YOU DO NOT ORDER ON TIME. THESE PLATES ARE A DEAL AT $199 EACH & WILL NOT BE OFFERED AGAIN AT THIS RIDICULOUSLY LOW PRICE AGAIN! Update 3/3: Everyone who confirmed on this thread before this post will be sent IM instructions by 2000 Eastern time today. If you don't get an IM from us, that means that your inbox is either full or not setup properly so please check before you post here that you're not getting instructions. Everyone who replies with commitments after this post will start getting instructions on Thursday. The window for ordering will close on 3/13 or whenever we run out of plates, whichever comes first. Congrats on making this GB go hot and enjoy the plates! Update 3/1: Congrats everyone- This GB is now LIVE! We'll be IM'ing details by the evening of 3/3 so please make sure your IM Box isn't full. Please take a moment to review all the details of the plates again on this post. These plates are FINAL SALE and no returns will be accepted. The ordering period will be from 3/3 to 3/13, and only those who post they're commitment on this thread will be IM'd the ordering instructions. REMEMBER, ONLY THOSE COMMITTED ON THIS THREAD WILL BE ALLOWED TO ORDER THIS DEAL. IF WE HAVE ANY PLATES LEFT OVER, THEY GO ON SKDTAC.COM AT A MUCH HIGHER PRICE. NO STRAGGLERS OR LATE-COMERS WILL BE ALLOWED IN. Anyone in for a Group Buy on premium LTC 6”x6” polyethylene side plate that are made to stop 7.62 Nato and weigh just 1 lb each? We are offering these exclusively on this ARFCOM GB at $69 EACH, or $59 EACH for 4 or more. This is an extremely rare close-out opportunity and these won’t be available again at this ridiculous price. These plates were manufactured in June of 2010, boxed up, palletized and shipped to a distributor's warehouse, and never sold or issued. They were kept in unopened boxes, inside a dry, climate controlled warehouse, and just recently turned up in an inventory audit (this warehouse belongs to a 2 billion dollar prime vendor with over a hundred thousand square feet of inventory). We currently have dibs on the entire pallet so we can pass the savings on to ARFCOM. These plates are 100% Polyethylene (i.e. Dyneema) and do not contain a ceramic plate. As a comparison, the last side plates we offered on an ARFCOM GB weighed 2.8 lbs each, and you needed soft armor behind it. As with our previous GBs, in order for this GB to activate, we need a minimum of 100 members to post "I'm in" commitments on this thread IN THE NEXT 15 DAYS. This GB runs on the honor system so only post that you're in if you're 100%. If for some reason you have to back out, please edit your post to reflect the same so we don't include you in the count. If this goes live, it will easily be the best armor deal SKD has offered ARFCOM GB history. We will limit the total number of side plates available to individuals to 6 plates to give everyone a fair chance. Agencies, this GB is to benefit ARFCOM members first so Agency PO price is $69 each no matter the quantity- please DM me if interested. This opportunity is ONLY available to US residents living in the 50 United States. We cannot ship armor overseas or to APO's. You need to be an ARFCOM member to participate, so if you have friends or family on the fence, get them to sign up on ARFCOM! If this GB goes live, we'll be opening this opportunity up for 10 days during which you can complete your order online. As with other SKD Domestic retail orders, shipping is a FLAT $5, no matter how many side plates you order- even if you order an additional 100 pounds of gear- IT’S STILL $5 SHIPPING. If this GB goes live, we will ship all Side-plate-only orders first within 15 business days* of the GB closing. All Side-plate orders with other skdtac.com items will ship within 30 business days* of the GB closing. If you've had any previous experience with SKD GB's, you'll know we run an absolutely LEGIT operation. Our GB process ensures that we have enough participation to get you the absolute best deal we can, while planning it in such a way that we don't completely overtax our warehouse team. *Special Note: ALL SKD Body Armor sales are subject to our Body Armor Sales Policy (hotlinked). Once you submit your paperwork, you are cleared for all future body armor purchases with SKD for as long as your submitted paperwork/ID's are valid. Please understand that as a small business that supports the livelihood of many hardworking American families, we have to take basic pre-cautions against providing equipment to individuals with criminal intent. The listed Side-Plate order shipping deadlines will be met assuming the required paperwork has been submitted and approved. If the paperwork arrives AFTER the close of the GB, the shipping deadlines begin from the date the paperwork is approved. Here are some fun pics. We know these aren't rated for .223/5.56, but since we had a couple samples, I decided to sacrifice one for some unofficial, non-scientific testing involving a 16" AR15 and 3 types factory ammo I had on hand. Here are some results: Round 1, Hornady 55gr. FMJ. No penetration. Round 2, Federal XM193 right next to the Hornady round. No penetration. Honestly, I thought by placing it right next to the original hole it would penetrate, but it just made a slightly larger bulge in the back label. Round 3, Wolf Gold 55 gr. FMJ (M193 spec). No penetration. When I put the 3rd round higher on the plate, it caused a separation of several layers since things were already loosening up near the bottom with the two previous hits. The layers basically accordioned out and kicked off the back cover and 1/4" hard foam, but after a thorough inspection I can confirm that nothing penetrated. For those who are wondering what cummerbunds they fit in, here are some sample pics. Mayflower APC Cummerbund (needs Mayflower plate strap) PIG PC Molle Cummerbund with PIG PC Side Plate Carrier PIG PC Elastic Cummerbund with Molle Side Plate Sleeve First Spear STT Cummerbund Paraclete SOHPC SKD-Spec Cummerbund That's all we got for now- the INTEREST PHASE of this potential GB is now live.

IF THIS GOES LIVE, AND WE HAVE ANY PLATES LEFT OVER, THEY GO ON SKDTAC.COM AT A MUCH HIGHER PRICE. NO STRAGGLERS OR LATE-COMERS WILL BE ALLOWED IN. |

Yes, that will help things along on your order but the WH will require the hard copy in their hands before releasing the order. All initial GB instructions have been sent out. If you confirmed on this thread but still dont have the instructions, you'll need to clear out your IM inboxes. Fire away with those orders! |
