Before You Chase a Price
A discount only matters if the gear belongs in your build. The deals below either solve a complete rifle in one box, take real money off a factory part, or land on equipment that earns its place on a practical rifle. Anything that does not clear that bar is not worth the holiday hype.
Two things move the real cost more than the sticker price. On rifles and pistols, add your FFL transfer fee. On suppressors, the federal making and transfer tax is now $0, so the only extra cost is your dealer's transfer fee plus a Form 4 you can file electronically.
If you are finishing a rifle, cross-check the parts in the AR builder. If you are choosing between optics, run them through the compare tool and our AR-15 red dot guide before the lowest price decides for you.
The Deals Worth Checking
Daniel Defense M4A1 RIS II package with Vortex red dot and 5 magazines
The strongest rifle bundle of the weekend: a RIS II rail, 14.5-inch pin-and-weld barrel, Vortex red dot, and five 32-round magazines in one box.
Best for: A premium AR buyer who wants the rifle, optic, and magazines solved at once
Timing: BattleHawk free shipping over $600 runs through May 25
Faxon Duty Series 16-inch 5.56 upper
Faxon's Summer Kick-Off sale drops a complete 5.56 upper to $425.60 with no coupon. It is the easiest Faxon buy if you are finishing a lower rather than buying a whole rifle.
Best for: AR-15 builders who need a complete 5.56 upper without FFL transfer math
Timing: Faxon sale ends May 31
Smith & Wesson M&P15 Volunteer XV package with 10 magazines, red dot, and Gemtech suppressor
The headline discount is modest, but the bundle is unusually loaded: 16-inch 5.56 rifle, ten 30-round magazines, red dot, and a Gemtech suppressor package.
Best for: Buyers who want a loaded one-box rifle package and are ready for the suppressor's Form 4 transfer
Timing: BattleHawk free shipping over $600 runs through May 25
OpticsPlanet sitewide Memorial Day coupon
Use MEMDAYY for 12% off sitewide, or STCKUP for 13% off with an account. The max discount is $500, so this is best on optics, triggers, lights, mounts, and bigger cart builds.
Best for: Stacking several optics or AR parts into one discounted cart
Code: MEMDAYY, or STCKUP with account
Timing: Ends May 25 at 11:59pm CT
Faxon Twenty-Toucan .22 modular suppressor
Twenty percent off a modular rimfire can. The federal making and transfer tax on suppressors is now $0, so the sale price plus your dealer's transfer fee is close to your real out-the-door cost.
Best for: Rimfire shooters ready to start a suppressor Form 4
Timing: Faxon sale ends May 31
Federal American Eagle 9mm 115gr FMJ, 1,000-round case
A real case-ammo discount, about 25 cents per round before shipping and tax, on a mainstream Federal training load.
Best for: Range replenishment before summer classes and matches
Holosun HS507C X2 red dot
The best pistol-optic price of the weekend, especially if you want the RMR-footprint 507C without chasing a mail-in rebate.
Best for: Glock 19 MOS, full-size carry pistols, and range pistols
SIG Sauer M400-Forge with Romeo-MSR Gen II red dot
A ready-to-shoot factory SIG carbine with a cold-hammer-forged barrel and an included red dot. It costs less than the Daniel Defense bundle and is the easier pick if you just want a practical 16-inch rifle.
Best for: A first serious AR or a factory-backed training rifle
Timing: BattleHawk free shipping over $600 runs through May 25
Faxon Harmonix Sentry 5.56 suppressor
The larger of Faxon's two suppressor markdowns. It still ships on a Form 4, so budget for your dealer's transfer fee and a short eForm wait, but the federal tax is $0.
Best for: 5.56 suppressor shoppers ready to file the Form 4
Timing: Faxon sale ends May 31
Radian Raptor-LT FDE AR-15 charging handle
A practical ambi-control upgrade at a price where the Raptor-LT starts to make sense even on a mid-budget build.
Best for: AR-15 builders who want better support-side manipulation
SIG Sauer Tango-MSR 1-6x24 LPVO
The markdown is small, but a sub-$200 1-6x scope matters if you are finishing a budget rifle and want magnification instead of another red dot.
Best for: Budget ARs that need a simple 1-6x scope
Timing: BattleHawk free shipping over $600 runs through May 25
Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount HL-X Pro 88128
One of the better standing prices on a 1,000-lumen rail-mounted rifle light.
Best for: Budget defensive carbines and training rifles
Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS, fixed sights, 15-round model
A $50 drop on the all-purpose Glock 19 MOS. The listing includes the MOS plate set and three 15-round magazines.
Best for: A first optics-ready compact or a no-drama training pistol
Holosun HS510C and HM3X combo
A simple red-dot-plus-magnifier package if you want 1x speed and occasional 3x identification without pricing out separate mounts.
Best for: General-purpose carbines that need a magnifier later anyway
Magpul MBUS Pro front and rear sight set
The front runs $60.99 and the rear $73.99, a solid price on a full set of steel backup sights.
Best for: Rifles that still need durable backup irons
Faxon Sale Runners-Up
Faxon's Summer Kick-Off sale runs through May 31 with no coupon needed. Spend $100 and Faxon throws in a free flag; spend $200 and the order earns a 20%-off coupon for June. The Duty upper, Twenty-Toucan, and Harmonix Sentry are on the main list above. These three are worth a look if the caliber fits your plan.
Sentinel 12-inch 8.6 BLK AR10 pistol
$1,827.50 was $2,150.00 - Faxon's flagship 8.6 BLK host, now $322.50 off.
Sentinel 18-inch .308 AR10 rifle
$1,614.15 was $1,899.00 - The full-size AR10 pick if a factory .308 Win rifle is the goal.
Faxon Pro 16-inch 6mm ARC rifle
$1,262.25 was $1,485.00 - A factory 6mm ARC rifle for shooters who want more reach than 5.56 gives them.
Forced Reset Deals at OpticsPlanet
OpticsPlanet has the deepest forced reset selection of any partner this weekend, and the category splits two ways. A forced reset trigger (FRT) like the Partisan Disruptor replaces your entire fire control group. A forced reset selector (FRS) like the AS Designs Arc-Fire or M2 Super Safety replaces only the safety selector and runs alongside your existing mil-spec or Geissele super safety cut trigger. Either way, every shot is a separate trigger pull; the mechanism only forces a faster, more consistent reset. For how the system works, see our super safety guide. Forced reset parts are federally legal after the May 2025 DOJ settlement, but AS Designs and Partisan both block shipping to restricted states, so confirm your state before ordering. Blazin' Deal prices do not stack with the MEMDAYY coupon.
Partisan Triggers Disruptor FRT
$275.00 was $299.99 - A drop-in forced reset trigger and the most-reviewed forced reset part here, 4.4 stars across 258 reviews. Black or green, both $275 with $25 in OpticsPlanet Bucks back. Budget for an M16-cut bolt carrier and an H2 or H3 buffer.
AS Designs Arc-Fire V2 Ambi Kit, 0-90-180
$199.99 was $249.99 - The traditional full-sweep throw, a deliberate 180-degree rotation from semi to ARC. This is the V2 ambi kit in our catalog.
AS Designs Arc-Fire V2 Ambi Kit, 0-45-90
$199.99 was $249.99 - The shortest throw of the set. A 45-degree flick reaches ARC fastest for shooters who want minimal selector travel.
AS Designs Arc-Fire V2 Ambi Kit, 0-45-180
$199.99 was $249.99 - A hybrid throw: a short 45-degree move to semi, then a long 180-degree sweep to ARC.
AS Designs Arc-Fire V2 Non-Ambi Kit
$159.99 was $199.99 - The cheapest route into a V2 selector. Single-side levers, but the same reduced-drag ARC internals as the ambi kits.
AS Designs Arc-Fire V1 Kit
$199.99 was $249.99 - The previous-generation Arc-Fire. At the same $199.99 as the V2 ambi kits, pick a V2 unless the V1 is the only one in stock.
AS Designs M2 Super Safety Kit
$79.99 was $99.99 - AS Designs' simplest super safety kit and the only forced reset part here under $80. The entry point if you just want to try the concept.
Other Partner Promos To Scan
AR parts and triggers up to 25% off
Separate from the MEMDAYY sitewide coupon, OpticsPlanet is running AR parts and trigger discounts through June 14.
Geissele, Magpul, optics, and triggers up to 25% off
Worth checking if you are already cross-shopping triggers, mounts, magazines, or Primary Arms optics.
Springfield Hellcat Pro bundles at $569.99
A strong compact-carry bundle price if you were already looking at the Hellcat Pro ecosystem.
Viridian RFX optics at $149
A budget pistol dot worth a look if the model on sale matches your slide's optic cut.
Breakthrough Clean suppressor cleaning kit at $64.99
A practical add-on if your BattleHawk cart already clears the $600 free-shipping threshold.
Natchez is also running precision-scope and ammo promos, and Springfield Armory has 20% off accessories, magazines, and apparel. Both are worth a look if those categories match your cart.
What I Would Buy First
Want a complete rifle? Start with the BattleHawk Daniel Defense package. The SIG M400-Forge is the simpler alternative when you just need a solid 16-inch carbine and not the premium RIS II setup. The Smith & Wesson bundle includes the most gear, but the suppressor turns it into a Form 4 decision rather than a normal rifle purchase, so jump on it only if you are ready for the paperwork.
Building instead of buying? Faxon's Duty Series 5.56 upper is the cleaner buy. Then put the OpticsPlanet coupon on a cart that benefits from a percentage off: triggers, optics, mounts, lights, and a handful of small parts. A 12% or 13% code only earns its keep once the cart is large enough.
If your ammo shelf is thin, buy ammo before accessories. A $249.99 case of Federal American Eagle 9mm builds more skill than one more part bolted to the rail. Once that is handled, the Holosun 507C X2, Radian Raptor-LT, Streamlight HL-X Pro, and MBUS Pro set are the upgrades that fill real gaps.

Bottom Line
The best Memorial Day 2026 buys are the BattleHawk Daniel Defense bundle, Faxon's discounted 5.56 upper, the OpticsPlanet sitewide coupon, a case of Federal 9mm, and the Holosun 507C X2. Check your final cart total, transfer fees, and state rules before trusting the headline number. That matters most on rifles, suppressors, magazines, and ammunition.
