Any ARs out there? Any know 5280 Armory current stock?

[Ashton]

When you call 5280 Armory now the recorded greeting says they won't give any inventory info over the phone and that you have to come in. It's an hour drive each way for me.

Kinda sucks but I imagine it's a zoo over there and will be for some time. So has anyone been there very recently? Any rough idea of their AR and AR mags stock?

What about other stores around town?

Maybe we can use this thread as a temporary sticky to stay updated.

For instance - I called CDNN yesterday and all they have is a Sig 551. NOTHING else as far as completed rifles go.

Try Trigger Time Gun Club. It's members only for the ranges but anyone can buy firearms. There's also Bison Arms in Longmont, and Jensens in Loveland.

I heard that the minimum price at 5280 for any AR platform is $2250, cash only. The ARs that Firing Line is putting out average $1500. Transfers are $30 and that will not change. Besides that half of the 5280 sales floor is roped off and closed down. I don't understand why anyone would go there.....

LibertyUSA in Ft.Collins also has regular prices, no gouging that I noticed the couple times I've been in the last three weeks.

Was at 5280 around noon to pick up a couple 1911 mags, complete mad house! Phone never stopped ringing. I saw several AR's (Colts even) and a few AK's, no clue what was sold or available. They were selling Pmags, looked like from behind the counter. Doubt if I'll be back anytime soon.

Feel free to read my impressions of 5280 Armory in the Dealer Range Review.

That said, be real people! Local gun shops are going bat shit crazy with panic buying. The 20 customers in front of me, with product in hand, are more important than a "tire kicker" on the phone. Where would you focus your efforts?

As far as $100 transfers go, if people are willing to pay that, more power to them. I wouldn't.

I guess 5280 is hoping to rip people off as much as they can then be out of business once a ban pass.

The phones are very difficult, and the priority has to be the person standing in front of you at the counter. Add to that the fact that fully 35% of the calls are people asking when their background check is going to be done, and.. well you get the idea.

Just went to Trigger Time to get some rounds down range. They have 1 AR on consignment asking $1750. They have zero AR's of their own stock.

$100 transfers way to attract customers, which I had my FFL so I could do them for $60 lol. A lot of these dealers are incredible at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

MGT had some but expect to pay premium. Colt 6920's are 3K and I saw the infamous 5K SCAR

Firing Line put out a NIB Colt 6920 Magpul FDE edition last week. The price tag was $1449. It didn't last long.
