A bit late but I have a good memory and am bored.
A while ago another member offered to sell me an especially rare and desirable AK kit for $50 below retail, but being the ignoramus I am I offered to give him what he paid brand new (minus shipping) if he were to meet the next day. He agreed and we met at a halfway point - Rainier arms.
It was a stupendously rainy day and it`s a shop I`ve heard of, but never been to so of course I stepped in. The gentleman behind the counter welcomed me and asked if I needed anything specific. I said no, I`m here to meet someone. I didn`t feel pressured in the slightest. I wandered about the store and checked a few triggers they had on display as well as the usual assortment of AR buttstocks, rail sections and so on as well as the bargain bin. I was still much too early so I sat on the couch and flipped through one of the gun magazines and talked shop with a gentleman who brought an AR pistol in for work after some other smith buggered it.
I sat and killed time further till the other member arrived and we made our deal. I dropped the kit in my truck and caught myself eying the door.
I had time and money burning a hole in my pocket so I said "Screw it" and walked back in. The same gentleman from previously looked up and smiled, and asked if there was something I needed. I said yes - I`d like not to become "That guy", and pointed out a backpack and some patches I was interested in. I don`t have the receipt handy, but it came out to something like $150 in gear I spent that day, and when the guy returned from the warehouse he brought an extra patch with.
VIP treatment for being a customer? Gotta love it.
For inquiring minds, the pack was the "Griff" by Grey ghost precision. If interest is shown I`ll be happy to review it as well. A few patches and the shotgun shell card in the pic aren`t sold by Rainier but they arrived the same day so I grouped them for the pic. The good luck cat was named Rudy by a friend, and he sticks to the velcro interior of the bag, so everywhere I go, Rudy comes along.
