5280 Gunz 'N Gearz

[Krasni]

Just speaking from experience about the credit card...

I just started taking them in my store a few months ago. They literally hit me between 2.8% and 3.5% on all transactions whether debit, credit, visa, mc, discover or amex. I could do what most do and raise all my prices and make even more profit when customers pay cash. I choose to simply add 3% when I accept cc to keep prices down for everyone and only those choosing to pay the fee get hit with it. I thought it was more fair for the customer this way rather than screwing everyone with a 3% price increase. I know cash/check cusomters aren't upset.

I'm not saying that's what Matt & Gina do but it is possible.

had a great time today. Glad I stopped by.

If any of you saw me, I was the dumb lookin kid with the black Bravo Company hat on, oggling the FN products inside the trailer, and the FAL's inside

I really liked the new piston upper, and talked with the staff about various off-the-wall crap for a while.

I was wearing a black LaRue hat, a grey t-shirt with a mouse and a cube of cheese on it. I spent a few hours walking around with a couple sets of AR mag followers :P

I got to check out one of the new KRISS carbines there today, and I have to say, its a really trick little gun.

The bolt rides on a roller system that directs it back and down, kind of like a sideways L, which lets it be so compact.
And it takes glock 21 mags! pretty cool little thing, but I just cant justify the cost for something like that. Even still, theres absolutely nothing like it.

Yeah, I played with the KRISS as well...would make a fun SBR. But the stock could afford to be a bit longer, IMO...

I didn't stay for long, played in the smith trailer. Looked at all the cars, spent time with the adcor defense guy. I think that piston set up is the best I have seen so far for an AR platform. Bought a B.A.D. lever and left before I broke myself. Lol

I've only had one experience there but was positive. I was over on the front range selling a couple of guns, and stopped in there because it was close. Being from the Western Slope where NO ONE carries any type of AR stuff except rifles (not even a PMAG), I was impressed. I bought a Mossberg 500 HD, BAD lever, low pro gas block, and a few other things. I was treated well; I asked alot of stupid questions and they were patient and polite. I would go back for sure, allthough I have nothing else to compare it to.......there is nothing on this side of the hill!

Love 5280! Bought my AR there; at the old location. Looking to get a Bodyguard, for my concealed carry firearm.

My feelings on 5280 are in another thread. Feel free to search.

With online stores having better deals up front and then gouging the shipping, brick and mortars are having a hard time. I don't see charging more for CCs as a problem. A 2%-2.5% bump is not out of line. CCs cost the seller more, plain and simple.

Sounds like I missed a good time. Too bad I work weekends.
