Eagle Firearms opens store in Wheatridge CO

[longhunter]

I went up to Eagle Firearms retail store in Wheatridge yesterday. This is their opening week and have some in-store specials.

RockRiver (RR) ARs at 2005 pricing -$20 off current
RR stripped lower for $99.00
and others... but I do not remember.

Noticed some other things that were interesting. They had ASP LED lights for $4.99 (seen else were at $13-$15). I bought a ARMS flip up rear BUIS for $69.00 (not sure that I understand, but they receive them on flatop ARs and buyers don't want them so they take them off and then sell them without the box or the locktight in a baggie at -$20 off of they in-box price. I did not care for the box and it was new/never used...good deal ) They had Springfield .45 XD 4" black at $489.00.
I have bought a barrel off of they and was very happy there service. They showed me all the models of BUIS that they had and talked about what they liked and disliked about each. They seemed like nice people.
I am not associated with them in anyway, just a guy that likes to build ARs and appreciates a place where good parts can be found. I would do business with them again.

I drove up there Saturday as well, only to find a cardboard sign in the window saying "closed". Pissed me off.

I ended up buying a RRA stripped lower from Eagle. Had to make an appointment to go to the store and buy it. While I was there, I did get to fondle a CAR-A4 like what I want to build, and Chris is a nice guy and answered some of my questions, and even tossed in a free US Gov't M16 manual with my lower. However, the whole appointment thing just rubs me wrong, and I probably won't be going back.

People are pretty harsh, it's only been a couple weeks.

Isn't it logical that since Eagle decided to pay rent on a storefront with windows and a sign, that they will have 9-5 type hours in the future?

Besides, isn't an 01 Dealer supposed to have hours anyway?

[Asha'man]

He said eventually he'd like to hire someone to do the storefront, but it's hard to find someone who is knowledgeable about the products, learns procedures and paperwork quickly, is TRUSTWORTHY, and will work for what he can pay. It didn't sound to me like that would be happening anytime soon.

How much was He paying?

Yeah I was about to say that either Marlin or Brian himself would be about right for that :roll:

I've already commented on this place. Hard to get ahold of, and why have a store front if you're not going to be open during stated hours!?!? Too bad too looked like he wasn't to far off some of the better internet pricing I've researched.

[Asha'man]

Lol, I've got a ways to go in the knowledge department, but that would be a sweet gig. :mrgreen:

I don't understand why the storefront exists, really. If it's to better serve local customers, he could just have locals buy online like everyone else but not have to pay shipping or something. I bet eating the shipping would cost a helluva lot less than renting a storefront.

That place cost money to outfit, too. It alone in the strip mall has steel/concrete posts concreted into the parking lot right in front of the store to prevent smash-and-grabs. Bars on the windows, the whole nine yards. Although the porno video store next door has bars too.

I don't get it.
