I find the idea of a Memorial Day sale abhorrent.
psa has that norma 308 ammo for 14.99 a box. The once fired brass is worth a good portion of that price.
Shooters Pro Shop has 10% off and free shipping on orders over $99.

100% this! It is disgusting to me that folks would want a discount or sale instead of recognizing the reason for Memorial Day. I refuse to utilize any sale in reference to Memorial Day unless its entire purpose is to go back toward memorial efforts.

Retailers are always looking for ways to increase sales. I really don't think their intent is to defame or disrespect the fallen.
Duluth has 30 percent off everything and free shipping over 50 dollars


Go getcha some far hose britches
Tract has 10% off with free shipping.
25% off sitewide meatyourmaker.com

Same.

Sacrifice should never be a coupon code.

Don't care the "intent" - call it a May Sale then but don't latch onto Memorial Day with it.
Midsouth Shooters has free shipping over $49 .

I couldn’t find that deal. Just looked and it was 24.99
Maybe I’m missing something.
And just now went out of stock.
T-Bones $7.98 per pound. I picked through them until I found many that were practically Porterhouses (with the larger filet side)
Looks like they are sold out of the 150 grain SP Norma at PSA.
TrueShotGunClub.com is having a Memorial Day sale that will give a percentage to Fallen Patriots. Here is their explanation:

"So for every order placed from today until May 31st, we’re donating x% of the sale to Fallen Patriots. Fallen Patriots has been helping the children of fallen service members obtain a college degree for the past 20 years. To learn more about Fallen Patriots, be sure to check out their website: https://www.fallenpatriots.org/

So not only do you get to take advantage of our competitive ammo prices, but you’ll be able to give back to fallen service members while doing it. So if you’ve been holding off on buying ammo, this Memorial Day weekend is the perfect time to make your purchase."

They have PMC Bronze 55gr FMJ for $9.18 per box of 20, and PMC X-TAC M855 62gr FMJ for $9.99, plus a couple of others to choose from.
25, 35, 45 % off depending on amount spent at Beretta.com
I have a great deal on an AR barrel, gas block, tube and handguard!! 😃😃😃

In the Classifieds
RMR has discounts going on their bullets. .224 69gr OTM are 10% off

I have always wondered how the Memorial Day mattress sales came to be.

Agreed.
On further consideration, you guys are right. Commerce should not cover sacrifice. You’re right.
Christmas, Easter, 4th of July,?

Labor day is blue collar, so screw that. Sales galore.
Thanksgiving? Hmmmm. Does it matter who we are thanking?


It's retail trying to stay afloat at this point in time.
Buy on Friday or Saturday. Or don't.
They sure as hell have nothing to do with folks ignoring the point
and instead, focusing on beer and food. Not even family like in the past.


shootem is right, it's shouldn't cover sacrifice.

It can't.

You can use it to.
Others can.

But I'd bet Memorial Day sales on main street get some folks to the parade.

That is a plus. Some of those will pause and think about it.

Get more out of it than the "Patriotic" who stand there every year waving a
flag. Because they like the fire trucks, and being seen with the flag.

Ever notice how many do all the right stuff when The Anthem is played.
With crystal clear eyes?

And the ones standing there, hands straight down, blinking?
Rubbing their eyes later, kinda hiding it.


It's all what the individual makes of it.
No.

No one wants a sale INSTEAD OF recognizing the reason for Memorial day.
However, most here are blue-collar firearm enthusiasts and if I can save a few bucks on hobby-related items, well I think I can find time this long weekend to click "add to cart" AS WELL AS give thanks - especially to my grandpa who was on the Seafox off of Japan in '45.

Uh-huh…….

You’d pass up a great sale on a brisket, or ribs or any delicious primal cut bound for the Grill?

Same Same.
Yep, that’s my take. My 10 yo’s middle name is Evard. Evard is a made up name. The Army turned down my wife’s Uncle Jenkin’s application because he was 16. USMC had no issue taking him in but changed his name to Evard J. Near as we can tell Evard isn’t a name in any language. His mom sewed a tiny flag on his pack. It was the first flag over Guadalcanal. The flag at Pease wasn’t. I have the letter from the military telling me the accidentally “Recognized” the wrong soldier. I responded my wife’s family has held the memory but doesn’t know about the flag dedication so don’t hurt another vet’s family.


Enjoy the holiday, save a few $, take a few moments to recognize why it’s a holiday. We polarize so many things. Let’s just enjoy the freedom to do what we please with it. Buy things, sell things, grill, drink, whatever freedom feels like to you.
I’d also love to know where her uncle Jenk’s flag ended up but probably never will.
Funerals aren’t for the Living not the Dead..
Making a Buck is for the Living not the Dead ..
Black Friday Sales ain’t for the Blacks..
I’m just pissed you Boyz keep beating me to the 6.5 PRC Ammo on SPS ..
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Harbor Freight is having a sale. With coupons.
Yes, Momma and I are watching the National Memorial Day Concert tribute.

I’m saving my righteous, uppity displeasure for sales on Juneteenftheses

But if Big Red is .79 cents a 2-liter I will consider my Ox as if he is in a ditch. I will atone by sacrificing two turtles.

Magnetic steel dish for Inside Track members
The dryer going out. It's 15 y/o(?). Old lady is pissed. I told her to just go buy one.

Repair man won't even look at it. Says go spend your money on a new one on sale for memorial day.

I guess there are sales? I have no idea. I don't care. Make momma happy.

Likely fixable yourself. My wife fixed our Samsung dryer with YouTube and a screw gun. I was out of the country. Parts were ordered online.

White towels have grease all over them and it sounds like a freight train coming though the house. Maybe I could fix it. But probably not.

I got 15% off a Fender Stratocaster at Guitar Center.

I don't have a problem with those who take advantage of a sale, but personally have always avoided Memorial Day sales. Doesn't seem right profiting off a day set aside for those who are no longer here.

Have no problem going to the lake or whatever and enjoying the day, as I think everyone should enjoy the freedoms that are dearly paid for. Making money off it though isn't for me.

A bearing is going out, shedding its oils and grease inside and making the noise. Post on FB marketplace or Craigslist and someone will fix it for you. OR don't and just buy another.

Hmmmm.......so the wife and I drove around 250 miles with $4.00 a gallon gas visiting the graves of our lost loved ones over the last two days. We started a flag program when my grandmother died at the small country cemetery where she and my grandfather were buried 10+ years ago. We along with the community donate flags every year. To date there are almost 150 flags in that little cemetery. Now I go to take advantage of a sale and I don't know the meaning? Interesting.

Yes, support bearings are shot, replace them all (probably two), but also the front and rear drum gaskets. While in there, a new belt and idler pulley too.

It's not hard at all, but I do wonder how the grease in getting inside the dryer drum. Check for defects.

More likely the grease is from your washer. That seal is more involved to replace, but not difficult.

Those are nice belts. Very nice.
They had dollar drinks for vets at the dancehall from 7 to 10 on Saturday night.
I wish Memorial Day would quit being used to market. I wish Memorial Day would quit getting conflated with veterans' day.

The point is - the retailer should NEVER use Memorial Day as the reason for the sale. Call it "May Sale" or whatever but not Memorial Day Sale. I won't take part in a retailer riding the coattails of why we're observing this weekend to give me 10% off a mattress.
