OK Guys & Gals
(and anything in-between). I don't judge...
But in all seriousness, here's the deal: Mike has asked me to gauge the desired quantity of sizes and colors & patterns of DBs' for this Group Buy.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FEATURES & CONSTRUCTION OF THE DB ITSELF WITHIN THIS THREAD. HOWEVER:
WHILE I’LL BE KEEPING TRACK OF THE BAG COUNT I WON’T BE RECEIVING AND LOGGING THE PAYMENTS, TRACKING PAYMENT STATUS, OR SHIPPING & TRACKING THE DBs'. THEREFORE, PLEASE DO NOT PM OR EMAIL ME REGARDING YOUR PAYMENT OR SHIPPING & TRACKING STATUS. I WILL IGNORE ALL PMs' AND EMAILs’ REGARDING THE SAME. TIA FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COMPLIANCE.
FOR INQUIRIES ABOUT PAYMENT RECEIPT, ORDER STATUS, OR TRACKING INFO PLEASE CALL THE TAC OPS OFFICE AND SPEAK WITH ONE OF THE LADIES THERE AT (310) 855-4838. AGAIN, TIA FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND COMPLIANCE.
Now on to business:
SIZES:
The various shooting platforms and chassis' available today make barrel length a poor method to determine what size case/drag bag someone needs. For the best fit, the the OAL (Overall Length) must be measured.
"SMALL/SHORT" DBs' fit up to 43.0" OAL
"LARGE/LONG" DBs' fit up to 50.0" OAL
"XL" DBs' fit up to 62.0" OAL.
PRICING:
"SHORT" - $290.00 Shipped within CONUS
"LONG" - $290.00 Shipped within CONUS
"XL" - $450.00 Shipped within CONUS
NO SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF CONUS. IT IS HELLACIOUSLY EXPENSIVE TO SHIP TO ALASKA, HAWAII, AND PUERTO RICO LET ALONE ANYWHERE FARTHER.
PAYMENT:
PAYMENT BY USPS MONEY ORDER. PERSONAL CHECKS WILL BE ACCEPTED, BUT ARE SUBJECT TO UP THREE WEEKS CLEARANCE (CHECKS MUST CLEAR NOT ONLY YOUR BANK, BUT TAC OPS' BANK IN CALIFORNIA. OUT-OF-STATE CHECKS - EVEN WHEN DRAWN ON A NAT'L BANK, HAVE TAKEN MORE THAN A MONTH ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS). SEND A POSTAL MONEY ORDER. NO CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED.
COLORS & PATTERNS:
The solid colors that will definitely be offered are
"OD Green", "Ranger Green", and
"Coyote Brown".
"Black" really isn't popular anymore, but if Mike gets a cumulative commitment of 10 Black DBs', then he'll make Black.
The patterns that will be definitely be offered are
"MultiCam", "MultiCam Black" and "DigiCam". There have also been requests for
"Woodland Camo", "3-Color Desert Camo", "Kryptek Highlander", "Rhodesian Brush Stroke", "A-TACS", "Vietnam Tiger Stripe", and "Desert MARPAT".
HOWEVER, UNLESS A PARTICULAR PATTERN HAS A CUMULATIVE COMMITMENT OF 10 OR MORE DBs', THAT PATTERN WILL NOT BE OFFERED (ASSUMING THAT PATTERN IS EVEN AVAILABLE IN 1000D CORDURA, WHICH IS WHAT TAC OPS DRAG BAGS ARE MADE OF). NO "IF"s , "AND"s, OR "BUT"s.
Below are five close-ups of the "Tactical Operations" name embroidered on the outside of the largest exterior pocket on the DB. Some are a little washed-out - especially the Black, but are representative of the color or pattern overall. The other camo pattern photos aren't of actual Tac Ops DBs' and are approximations and may vary from the finished DB, especially the patterns not on 1000D Cordura).
