Geissele Restock?

What is the likelihood of these restocking before the end of May?

New to the shot show coupon they do, assuming this is the reason for just about everything being sold out so don't know their restock schedule.

I ain’t gonna pay 2500 bucks for a Geissele. That’s LMT money.

Coupon is 35% off, roughly $16-1700.

What coupon is this?!

murkr

Then $200 for shipping and $200 for tax.

What the heck! Why is your shipping so cheap. Mine cost $200. And when I asked G$ about it they said they have to ship it next day air that’s why it’s so expensive.

MapDiscombobulated40 [OP]

That can’t be right? That’s insane. Where do you live? VA here. I’d call back again. $200 seems extremely excessive. I believe it did give options for shipping. I picked the cheapest one.

Just checked again.

I live in Florida. Thinks geissele website right ?

MapDiscombobulated40 [OP]

Correct.

They have to next day air if it’s an sbr/pistol, not regular 16 inch i think.

I dig their rails but agreed. I’d rather buy a DD upper and spend the difference on glass.

I honestly don’t get the appeal of their rails. I’d rather have the RIS III from DD.

brianbmx94

I like both. I’m big on the G$ Fed rail though. It’s built like a brick shithouse.

Actually curious why do you say LMT is better I’ve read some things about their qc? I’m deciding between a spec war and Super duty right now

Khris6278

I have a spec war and a sd, ill take a sd all day!

Engineer_Bennett

Geissele is good, LMT is good, it’s all good.

The_Mighty_Duck1952

That’s what I’ve heard and what I’m like 90% sure it’s what I want. Just want to hear all sides

Khris6278

Some ppl just like to shit on Geissele for some reason

aclark210

Prolly cuz the man himself is kind of a dick. And for a good few years that transferred to his products, queue the bendy bill images of the 2010s.

aclark210

Simple really, they have some qc issues, but no more than Geissele does. The only difference is they typically have cost more than Geissele all these years so people bring attention to it more.

But provided u are the other 90% of customers who have good qc, ur getting a better rifle for ur money. Ur getting things like a fully ambi lower, and not the kind that has the dumb sig lever, u get a truly monolithic rail (not just top but all four sides), and u get a good trigger. U also get a gun that is much easier to swap barrels on, given that if u can afford the gun it’s assumed that u shoot enough for that to actually be a concern, while still having it properly hold zero.

The question is whether or not u run ur gun hard enough and often enough for these features to matter to u. Suffice to say that for 80% of Americans, even a Geissele or a BCM is more gun than they actually need, so don’t go paying 3k for a rifle u will never shoot. Cuz then it absolutely will NOT be worth it.

Geissele doesn’t use a Sig style Bolt catch/release on their Mod 1.

aclark210

Mod 1? What Geissele finally caught up and made an ambi lower? Damn they are late, thought maybe they were gonna wait till bcm beat them to it.

Yeah. I’ve owned a SD before and I own a MARS-L currently. The MARS has features like the monolithic rail that somewhat justify its price. The Geissele doesn’t, it’s just a Geissele built big standard AR. Those rifles were 1,500-1,600 dollar guns until the stupid price hikes of Covid. They do not justify MARS pricing.
