I was there for their grand opening. They had awesome hot wings! Great place and Larry is as friendly as they come. I wish I got to Columbia more often just to stop in there.

Good guy. Good store. I have bought several things from Larry.
You won't find anybody better to wheel and deal with.

Larry and the gang there have taken care of me a time or two.

I have made two purchases from Larry at this shop. I am very pleased with the price I paid for both and very happy with the service and respect I received from him and his staff. I would not hesitate to buy from him again. Plus Larry is a real card and a great guy to just shoot the bull with.

I must be behind the times. When did Larry split with BlackRifle?

Febuary'ish. He's still running the matches at Fayette.

Went by his shop Saturday. He's as nice as ever. Has good product as far as guns in stock. Prices are not bad.

As an interested 3rd party with no affiliations beyond being a multiple time satisfied customer of theirs, I have to ask if you had a bad experience at CR Sales & Firearms.

I'll have to go by and check it out. Larry always treated me fairly when he was with BlackRifle.

Well one good transaction where I bought a rifle and then a bad one right after it with the other employees. Ignoring me at the counter, acting like I'm being a serious bother when I ask a simple question about some AR parts they have, and then getting a very cocky and snide reply when I asked if they maybe had some more stuff that wasn't in the AR parts case.

I liked the guy I bought my rifle from, he was friendly and we had a nice discussion during the purchase. They have the only VZ 58 rifle there I've ever seen, and I'm a little interested in trying to strike up a deal with them for it, but not so sure I want to spend my money with them after how I was treated last time I went in there.

I can attest to this too. There are a couple "salesmen" in there that aren't very accommodating. I can't say that I've had a bad time there, but even when I decided to buy a fairly pricey shotgun, as soon as Charlie walked away the salesman turned cold again. It's too close to not stop by every now and then, but I just know who I want to talk to and who to stay away from now.
