You'll pay at least a 50% premium on most stuff at The Armory.
I stopped by there once a couple years ago while passing thru and he DID have good inventory, but prices were whack.
Case-in-point.... A Century/Yugo M70B1 - the "standard" Yugo AK - $450 at Shooter's Discount (or whatever Lou's place in Mt. Airy is called) - is $800 at The Armory.
$350 mark-up over market price? Fawk that.
I saw him at the PG show in Feb. He wanted $700 for a GSG-5. Said he'd sold 20 the day before....
Whatever. I'll just burn the extra $10 in gas and save $340....
Atlantic Guns in Silver Spring and Potomac Trading Post in Wheaton are also CIII dealers.
Having been in "the business" and having to have paid the rent I completely understand where Hal is coming from. I have gotten many good deals from him because he knows if he throws a good deal my way, I'll buy it.
It's nice having a quality shop within 10 minutes of your house that has just about everything.
I don't know The Armory and I don't know Shooter Discount. I do know it cost a lot of money to mantain iventory. And I can't imagine Annapolis being quite as low rent as Mount Airy. Also, I live in Aberdeen, so I tend to frequent more convenient locations. Gas is not my only consideration. It Cost me over $480 per hour in sales to be out of the shop. At those kind of numbers, it easy to see why people will shop close and say it saves them money.
