The Gun Vault...Colorado Springs

Is mostly a non-stocking dealer, so don't expect to fondle a bunch of stuff here.

I've recieved good service and knowlege, but I suspect the dealer is moody because of how rapidly his prices fluctuate. He will sometimes beat every one elses prices, other times he will state 20% or more than every one else.

He also stated that he will not order assault type or military style rifles or parts, yet usually has a 1917 enfield or garand on display.

If something is in his display cabinet for sale it is usually marked for a quick sale, if it is what you want.

I thought the place had changed hands, is it still the older fellow (Jim?) running the place?

Had a couple of transfers done through for a reasonable $20, but never saw anything on the shelf that I couldn't resist.

last time I was in there...6 months ago...old man (Jim?) was there training I thought a new salesman.

I've bought 2 new from him, ordered, and 2 out of the case...decent to work with, just very inconsistent on pricing....lately...prices are pretty high on quotes.

I started using Liberty out of Calhan for transfers...close by to me and fair.

Well then, he obviously doesn't need my money. The firearms community has enough problems with government NAZI lowlifes trying to take our guns, we don't need a left wing sympathizer helping them in our midst. :evil: Karl.

+10000000000 I would not spend one damn cent in that place if that is his attitude.

The Gun Vault is no longer, last I was there a guy selling parts only had moved in. Said he was going to get his FFL though, that was a few months ago though.

The Gun Vault is closed has been since the beginning of Sept. The owner wasa hunting guy that didn't see a reason for "military style weapons in the public hands". The guy there now is a gun show dealer for mostly mil surplus now and is looking to get FFL, with a side business for ammo on gun boards. I live near by and stop in and talk couple times a month with him. I know sells AK kits now, SKS parts, AR parts, as well as various parts. He's a good guy and if he does get his FFL he'll stock semi-auto rifles and mil surplus types as well. I usually get better deals than he does at gun shows and he's a good guy. I'm sure I'd buy from him if he gets his FFL.

how long has he been there? ive been by a few times and the place has been dead empty. the last time i was by there was maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago.
