Unsubbed from Hick0k45 because he is just a commercial. I've always compared prices from classified ads or sales to Buds though. This morning sootch00 posted a video talking about a rifle that made me curious, off to Buds I go...

Not the one sootch was talking about but the price $719 still seemed high to me:

Did a quick duckduckgo (Google alternative) of the model number and clicked on tss $522

https://tsswarehouse.com/shop/tnw-a...mm-16-10rd-black-tnw-firearms-rxcplt0010bkxx/

Clicked on CTD $518

I know this is kinda pointless, but I'm glad I can stop comparing prices to Buds if this is an example of the price hike they normally put up. I mean, $201 dollars on a cheap carbine AR style over other popular sites. Hickok should be ashamed.

There is no place that has the best price on everything all the time.

It pays to shop around. I usually start at gun.deals to find the best prices on something I'm interested in.

If you're not using gun.deals and AmmoSeek you're doing it wrong. Also, if you really, really hate your wallet. Go browse /r/gundeals on Reddit and pretty soon you too can be insolvent but have loads of firearms and firearm accessories!

And why boycott Hickock45 because of Buds prices, He does not set prices and I have never heard him say Buds is always your best bet.
I have seen him give 'his ' honest opinion on every weapon Buds has sent him whether it be a Hipoint or a S&W.

I don't get this mentality either. We need MORE people like Hickok45 ON youtube. I don't get unfollowing him over a perceived $200 difference when he has literally no control over their business model. He gets sent guns and ammo to shoot and gets kickbacks...... anyone here would do the same. Hopefully.
