What the deal is:

Palmetto State Armory has put their D&H aluminum magazines on sale again. These are 30 round 5.56 magazines (or 9 round .458 SOCOM magazines), with that classic aesthetic to them. Additionally, these aluminum magazines are lighter than equivalent polymer magazines including the PMAG if weight is a concern.

Why it’s a good deal:

Originally priced at $12.99, these are on sale for just over half-off at $6.99. Any reader who is familiar with PSA will know that these magazines have been offered with free shipping before. When buying in small numbers, less than 10, it might be worth your time to wait until they’re offered at free shipping for $7.99-$12.99 each again. If you’re buying in bulk however, 10 magazines at $6.99 plus $8.50 shipping is less expensive than 10 magazines at $7.99 with free shipping.

Century arms c308 – $479.00 $599 with grab a quote

What the deal is:

The C308 is a reproduction of the H&K-91, which itself was a civilian model of the H&K G3 battle rifle. It is built around the H&K roller lock delayed blowback system, and fires the 308/7.62×51 cartridge. It has an 18″ threaded barrel with a 1:10 twist and a 1913 picatinny rail welded to the top of the receiver. Its overall length is 40.2″, and it weighs 8lbs. There are concerns about Century’s quality assurance, with some buyers reporting blemishes and ill-fitting or lower quality parts. However others report getting excellent quality rifles. When you factor in how dirt cheap magazines are (seriously, they can be found for $2 a pop), these really do make for good (but not great) entry battle rifles.

Why it’s a good deal:

Originally listed on GrabAGun for $699.99, by hitting the flashing red and orange box that says “GRAB A QUOTE” and filling out your name and email, you will get an offer that’s $220.99 off, for $479.00 before tax and shipping. This is the lowest I’ve seen one of these on offer for, with these rifles usually appearing between $550-$600.

Update: As of 12/16 at approximately 9:00pm PST the deal has been changed on GrabAGun’s website to now sell for $599.99 with Grab A Quote. While still $100 off list, it is not as good a deal as when the article was originally posted. At this price it is still a good deal, but entails a certain gamble with Century’s quality assurance.
