5280 Armory

[belltec19]

I know they have gotten some mixed reviews but figured I stop in anyway. I went in looking to handle some different AR's and to check out prices. The staff was very helpful and showed me anything I wanted to look at. They also offered various info on the different models of AR's. I hung out for about 30-45 min. then left. There was no pressure and the whole experience was pretty good. I did return a week later and asked more questions and recieved the same polite help. Ultimatley I decided to by the DPMS flattop. I love it. Thanks 5280Armory

Here is the other thread on 5280 Armory in case you didn't catch it. Haven't dealt with them personally due to their limited hours. Have talk with them via the phone and have always been helpful.

I'm not so sure about that place. The girls that work there could not be any nicer. The guys that work there are boderline rude and not that smart. Sometimes on the phone they are nice and sometimes they are rude as hell. I went down there to pick up a pistol grip for a Mossberg 500. The guy on the phone was very nice and told me what they had. When I got there the guy that was helping me said they didn't have what I was looking for. I looked around the store for a while and found it on my own. Then when I went to pay, they add 3% for credit crds. That's BS in my book. I wish Green Mountain Guns was open on Sundays. From now on I'm going to wait until my schedule allows me to swing into Green Mountain but I'm going to check to see if Green Mountain adds 3% for credit cards. If they do, I won't shop there either but I don't think they do.

I have only been their one time and have no reason to go back. They were pretty rude that day. Made jensens look pretty good

I think most all of the gun shops / dealers charge the 3% sir charge for CCs.

Goes to show how experiences will vary. I have had nothing but good experiences with 5280. Matt and Gina have always done right by me. I am on a first name basis with most of their employees. I have gone in there way more times to look and shoot the shit than I have to actually buy. Never been treated badly over it. They are busy most of the time but if they have the time they will talk to you for hours. And they agree with supportig local business. When Matt couldn't price match for me on my xdm, he threw in an extra magazine to make up the difference. Personally I do 90% of my business there,the other 10% goes to Bowers.

CMP 5.56, from what you're saying, it's almost tempting to go back. But I refuse to shop somewhere that is going to charge 3% because I use a credit card. That's just pure BS!

And no, unless you are buying on Gunbroker hardly anybody charges for c/c use.
I purchased a Barrett 99 and a Socom II there and yes, tax + c/c fee do add up.
I went looking into buying a Barrett 82 (another $8000.00 gun) and, since I already bought over $6000.00 in guns,I asked them for a break.
They offered to take like $150.00 off!
They lost my business.
End of story.
