UPDATE 8/8:

This GB is closed as of yesterday at 23:59 CST.  Thanks to everyone who participated and congrats!

UPDATE 8/4:
Hi Guys!

Starting later this afternoon we will be sending out detailed ordering instructions for this GB.  

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DM IS ACTIVATED AND YOUR INBOX ISN’T FULL.

Things to note:

1. Instructions will be sent in the order of the replies on this thread.
2. Your size and color preference for the SOHPC chassis and cummerbund is not guaranteed- they will be available FCFS.  
3. We are hoping to be able to meet (and beat) our 10/6 shipping estimate but plate manufacturers are getting slammed after the recent attacks against Police and there is a possibility for delays.  
4. Your card is charged when you place your order, and not when the order ships.
5. You can order additional items if you’d like to take advantage of our Flat $5 Shipping, but everything ships together when the Armor is ready to ship.
6. This GB will close on Aug 7 @ 23:59CST.  Anyone posting after this time will not be included in the GB.  
7. Please submit your Body Armor Policy paperwork with your order confirmation number to make it easier on our warehouse to process.
8. Please direct any other questions to me via DM.

Thank you and congrats on reviving this GB!

UPDATE 7/28:  and... WE'RE LIVE.

CONGRATS TEAM ARFCOM.

THIS GB IS HAPPENING.

AGAIN.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED HAS UNTIL AUG 7 TO POST "I'LL TAKE IT" ON THIS THREAD BEFORE IT SHUTS DOWN.

2. YOUR SIZE AND COLOR PREFERENCE IS NOT GUARANTEED- IT IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE- WE DO HAVE GOOD STOCK OF EVERYTHING EXCEPT S/M MULTICAM CHASSIS & MED MULTICAM CUMMERBUNDS.

3. Read the original GB post in detail HERE.  Except for the shipping times, and the availability of S/M Multicam, everything is by and large the same.  

4. Read our Body Armor Policy HERE.  We will be updating the Policy by Monday to include active Firefighters and current EMT/Paramedics who have been responding to ever more dangerous calls.  Yes you can send the paperwork in advance- just make sure you reference "AR15.com GB Part 2".

5. If you order ANYTHING else with your GB order from SKDTAC.com, your stuff will ship when your GB items are ready to ship, which at this point will be GB Close + 60 Days.  

6. Starting Aug 4 we will begin sending out detailed ordering instructions via AR15.com DM only.  Participants will be contacted in the order they relied.  Please make sure your inbox isn't full.  We will have a 72 hour ordering period for people to place their online orders.  On Aug 7th, we'll close the ordering link and close the GB and begin the countdown to shipping.  

CONGRATS ARFCOM!
-----------------------------

Due to the sheer nonsense occurring in America (and the world) today, we've been getting a ton of requests to reopen our Plate GB which just closed out last month.  After much discussion with various ARFCOM members, our team, and our manufacturer... and after securing the pre-requisite Moderator-Ominus-Dominus... we are now opening the interest phase for round TWO of this Epic Group Buy.  

We will be running a second round of this GB if and only if interest rises to the same threshold as our first round- 100 individual members must sign up commitments on this thread and we'll run it again.  The main difference this time is that if this goes live, we are not promising shipping until 60 days after closing due to the tremendous backlog the plate industry as a whole is experiencing.  We just now confirmed that our re-supply shipment of plates that were due weeks ago are just now showing up at the factory for manufacturing.  

All this being said- you can read all the details of this deal in the original GB thread here:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_7_121/1549212__NOW_CLOSED___2x_SKD_Armor_Level_IV_Plates___Paraclete_SOHPC_SKD_Spec_Plate_Carrier.html&page=1

If you are IN, you'll need to post an "I'll take it" here in this thread for it to count.  This is an honor system count so only post if you firmly intend on ordering- to do otherwise would be considered Welching.

Since our last GB, we had a large military order nearly deplete our inventory of Paraclete SOHPC-SKD Spec Plate Carriers in Multicam S/M, so this size/color combination will NOT be offered as an option.  We will still have L/XL Multicam, and both sizes in Black, Ranger Green and Coyote to select from.

Any questions?  Please read through the original post, and if it's not covered there then please DM me.

If you're wanting in, tell your friends, and tell them to tell their friends, because we got exactly 100 commitments to go.  

Thanks!

Thanks for the GB opportunity, though.
Sorry for the head fake.

How does this work if you are one of the people who CANNOT wear a L/XL?  Is another plate carrier being offered for those of us of smaller stature?

You can get S/M in any color other than Multicam.
