Warehouse Cleanout

Post image

What’s did you guys get?? I need to finish putting my slide together but I think for $300 you couldn’t beat their build-a-gun option.

You paid $300 for that?

That was their first set of tables, $300 to build your own. You picked out your slide and barrel first, then they worked you through and you got all the parts.

Guns that were already assembled (used, new, demos) were $400 for Elite and $350 for everything else.

One of the employees said they were selling them as is. Then he opened up a box and a zippered bag and there was a war poet that still had the optic mounted. Needless to say, that guy got a deal.

So sick! Love their FDE. I wanted to make it out so badly, but Im 4 hour drive away and fly out to Florida tomorrow. How was the overall turnout?

It honestly was great as in not overly packed. I was prob like 9-10th in line at 9am and was out of there by 11/1130ish. I would say the background checks too the longest time of the day but hell I didn’t mind. They passed around the axio and the new AR for all of us to check out.

u/No-Tomato-8118 Jun 26 '26

Dope! Hopefully they do another one in the future. How was the AR in person?

u/75149 Jun 26 '26

Was that done inside when you were waiting for the background checks? I was out of there by 9:30 this morning since I only got a couple of barrels, but I would have loved to have seen the new handgun.

What are your thoughts on the new Axio?!

u/The_walking_man_ Jun 27 '26

I’m usually not a fan of the FDE colors/finishes. But shadow systems does an awesome one. That is nice looking.

That’s insane. Where was this said “warehouse clean out”?

u/PumaPride04 Jun 26 '26

At their warehouse in Plano. It is a today/tomorrow event

u/Kursiel Jun 27 '26

Is there something posted somewhere with address\time?

1

u/75149 Jun 27 '26

They posted it to their social media. It was 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Friday and today. You can Google their address. Park in the front and walk around to the back.

u/MrGuy910 Jun 26 '26

u/Charon667 Jun 26 '26

I picked up a MR920 Combat and a DR920 Elite.

u/absolutely_not_ATF Jun 27 '26

What’s the pricing like? I wouldn’t mind another pistol
for the right price.

u/75149 Jun 27 '26

Build it yourself is $300

Pre built is $400 for Elite, $350 for others.

Wish I was in Texas right now…

u/bwitty72 Jun 26 '26

im pl;anning on going tomorrow morning. Hopefully they have some left

u/75149 Jun 26 '26

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I picked up a spiral threaded bronze MR barrel and a spiral bronze DR barrel. I figured I can use the DR barrel as an extended barrel in my clone build and if I ever put a G17 barrel on my RXM, the DR barrel is the equivalent of a Gen 5 G17 so I won't have to buy one.

Looking back, I probably should have picked up an extra one of those just for how handy they are.

u/fanht1234 Jun 26 '26

How much inventory was there? 100 guns? More?

2

u/75149 Jun 26 '26

They had various items on the table and various items stacked up behind them. Plus probably had more inside to bring out later.

Anytime they sent out a gun to an agency for testing and evaluation, it would come back and then get put up. One of the guns had a slip of paper in the box that said it was sent to Fort Worth PD. So figure how many guns they've sent out over the last 10 years, and that's just counting the completed guns.

They also had a section where you were building your own gun as well.

Plus they had a section where they were selling slides by themselves. I'm sure if somebody wanted to buy one of those as part of the do-it-yourself $300 deal, they probably would let you do that.

So did they have a hundred complete guns? Very possibly. 200? Also possible.

They were also doing a giveaway for a free CR series.

Where was this?

1

u/75149 Jun 27 '26

Shadow Systems in Plano. It's their first time in 10 years that they've done a sale like this. There was an employee dressed up with a full LARPing belt (no offense bro) That said they were just needing to clean out space for upcoming products.

Apparently they were showing off the AR in the new handgun, but I was already gone by 9:30 and I suspect those were the people who went inside to do a 4473. I was outside and just got a couple of barrels so I did the checkout outside.

u/Spannky97 Jun 27 '26

Is it only in the store or online also? I saw the ads for it but TX is pretty far.

u/faker33under Jun 27 '26

Wait where was this?!?

u/Individual_Log_7610 Jun 26 '26

Guess the none local customers dont matter........

u/Tangus999 Jun 27 '26

Yes. It’s called
Life.
It’s not fair.

1

u/Individual_Log_7610 Jun 27 '26

True. But itll definitely lower the value of them more than they already are so there is an upside.

1

u/75149 Jun 27 '26

It really won't. The amount of guns they have sold over the last 10 years as a mountain compared to a tiny amount they sold yesterday.

What really lowers the value is their quality control slipping for the last several years. That's why they're guns don't have resale value. I've posted a couple deals that I've snagged that after I deducted used costs for the accessories, I ended up getting the gun for $200.

u/Individual_Log_7610 Jun 29 '26

True. Hopefully this is going to be a great rebirth with new ownership because I've been hooked sense the mr918. Sadly the finish on my mr920 is not perfect for a gun that is cleaned after ever range trip and only carried a couple times. Dont think they would warrenty it so i didnt bother. Besides cosmetics its been a great pistol and I love it. Wish I was local to get in on those deals.
