Here's the link to the GB Item on our website. It goes live on May 1 at 10am.
I'll push it on social media as well but I wanted it to be easy to find here too.
We moved the shop in January and in the tornado of activity that is a shop move we stuffed a whole batch of 6mm blanks in a dark corner and forgot where it was. When I couldn't find them we quickly made another batch knowing that at some point they would surface and we'd have a bunch of 6mm blanks.
That happened on Friday. Turns out they were in a crate at the pile of crates and pallets that each of us thought we had already looked through. Lo and behold... We have 98 extra 6mm blanks. (It was 100 but Ben just told me he's keeping 2 for himself)
So, rather than dribble them out here and there Ben suggested we run a Group Buy for the Hide at 15% off on 6mm options. The only way this works is to focus on a few calibers and streamline the process and do them all at once. So, that being said: Is there interest in it to make an endeavor worth it?
It would be any of our standard tenons on the everyday list with the following calibers, contours and finish lengths.
Calibers:
6 BR
6 BRA
6Dasher
6 GT
6XC (0.150 FB with Tubb print circa 2016, not 22-250 brass print)
6x47 Lapua
6 Creed
6 PRC (I doubt this is going to be all that popular but we have a 6 PRC reamer that Ben really wants an excuse to use)
Contours:
Bartlein 3B
Brux #5
Light/Medium/Heavy Palma
M24
MTU
Proof Comp
Muzzles:
No Threads
5/8-24
Flutes:
None, Spiral or Straight
Lengths:
18/20/22/24/26
I talked to Evans Customs and they're willing to offer a 15% discount on cerakote too.
If we do it, the GB will open on May 1st and run for 7 days (or when the 100 blanks run out). Lead time is 4 weeks from close of the GB, add 2 for cerakote and/or fluting.
So there, a prefit at 15% off and turn time of 4 weeks.

each seems to have their own annoyance.
