Hi All,
We are opening our fifth store near Ft Lewis in Lakewood. Ready or not, we'll be opening our doors Friday at 1100. We don't have our FFL yet, but will have most of our other stuff. We will be having 25% off (almost) everything until the end of the year. We are located at: 12314 Pacific Hwy SW Lakewood, WA 98499 www.quanticoarms.com |

"Almost everything"? AR10T Uppers? |
|

Very nice! Will that be 25% off the prices listed on the web? I see another EOTech in the near future. Maybe another Aimpoint. Maybe a...

|
Wha, what?
I hope you guys have lots of AR-15 stuff in stock, been looking for some Q3131 |
|
All,
Please keep in mind that our store is still a "work in progress" and will be for the next several weeks. So, this is sortof a "pre-opening". Tomorrow, I'll post a list of the brands we'll have in stock and put out by Friday. Dave Hensley |

"QuanticoArms", is there going to be any LMT MRPs available on Friday? And short of the FFL items, is this store going to be a full-line shop with most of the high-end items on your website available? *edit for spelling* |
|
|
Hi All,
Yes, this will be a "Superstore". The shop is 4,000sqft. A couple notes: #1. We will have the following lines in by Friday: - Specter - Blackhawk - Tactical Concealment - Pelican - Suunto - Rite in the Rain (hometown favorite) - LMT (but no top ends) - Eye Safety Systems - Eo Tech - CamelBak - Outdoor Research - Thorlo - Oregon Aero #2. Coming in Next Week: - 5.11 - Strider Knives - SOG knives - Surefire - Robertson's Farms <--Best Beef Jerky in the world! #3. Our location will have a training room and our vendors WILL be having ongoing product demonstrations and classes. #4. Once we get our FFL, we will: - Be a Glock LE Distributor. LE and Military pricing on Glocks - Be a Springfield Armory LE Distributor. LE and Military pricing on Springfield Armory - Have the full line for LMT - Have the full line for ArmaLite. - Be an HK LE distributor - Sell Surefire suppressors - Sell GemTech Suppressors #5. Obviously we'll research this, but if WA law allows the sale of suppressors and SBR to individuals, then we will have them available. Dave Hensley |

|
I thought in WA you can own a supresor but can not attach it to a gun?
|

|
No reason you can't attach it. The law says you can't actually USE it to suppress the report of a firearm, but nothing else. Ownership, possession and attaching to anything you want is perfectly legal. |

Pierce County Sherrifs Dept. hooked me up real good this past January. A thousand nights of ass kissing and bs "justification" stories about why I need that new aimpoimteotechleupoldknightscoltlmtcmt could not have done a better job. That being a no-show when we interupted some fine residents breaking into her moms house. Once the house was cleared, the Wife came in talking to them on the cell' and hung up with a "they are on the way". Two hours of waiting and we got up, secured the house and left because they didn't show up. A very heated conversation with the shift supervisor followed, and didn't get anywhere of course. No more "but Honey of course I need that optic" pleading for me! |
|
|
Nice shop and a great location. Thanks for the 25% off deal too! I'll make sure to let the guys I know NOT on the boards to check you guys out.
I may end up down there again after Christmas. |
|
Are you guys open on Saturdays, and until when? I may stop in tomorrow.
Do you accept AMEX? |
|
Any Peltor equipment? I didn't see any on the web site.
Shopping for a ComTac II or a SwatTac II... |
|
I'm not QA, but I do know they are open 11 am to 7 pm Saturday. I'm trying to carve out some time to get up there today myself. Dunno about the AMEX. Trey |
|
|
Yes we take AMEX. (Mastercard, VISA, Discover and AMEX).
It is my understanding that our Point Of Sale system is having a few issues. But it is nother that Doyle can't work around. Maybe someone from Redmond can drive down and fix it? |

I was there this noon (Sat) and found the place not completely stocked. There was plenty of web gear of all sorts, some knives, a fairly large variety of Pelican cases (VERY nice) and some odds and ends. Im planning another trip soon b/c stock is coming in all the time according the the sales guy. BTW he was VERY helpful and I think this place is going to go far. He did mention that none of his optics were in yet but if I were to buy (or put money down now...the money part wasnt completely clear to me) that he would honor the 25% off if they came in after the end of the month. He also mentioned they would be doing classes of various types (some for LE only some for anyone willing to pay). Theyll be hosting the Glock armorers course which could be open to nonLE. That would interest me alot. As for the FFL he said they had just applied so it could be some time before its issued. So, no guns before years end.
Anyway I wound up buying a Specter 3 pt sling which I have installed now. Ive never used such a device and find it pretty nifty. One thing he mentioned about eotechs was that he wouldnt sell the NOD capable models to civilians. I'm pretty sure you can get them mail order so Im wondering whether theres some WA law prohibiting us from owning NOD devices or theres a model Im unaware of. As for what is/isnt discounted I didnt find anything that wasnt discounted. Also he mentioned some about military and LE discounts beyond the 30th so if you fit those catagories you should ask about that. Bottomline is if you have a chance to drop by you should... |
|
No law against owning them AFAIK, and they are easily found elsewhere. IMO, not a good way to start a business by not selling legal to own items to people |
|
|
Part of a Distributor/Dealer Agreement states something about these optics are to be marketed to LEO and Military only. Bushnells for the Civi's and Eotech (Division of Bushnell) to the LEO and Military. They are probably just protecting their assets eh??? |
|
|
Who needs the NV compatible ones anyways? Most people don't even have a decent enough nightvision unit to use along side it. NV is pretty useless unless you get 3rd gen +
At that point, those units are thousands of dollars, why would you be complaining about not finding a 300$ optic somewhere? |

Hi Al!
The manager at our Ft Lewis lcoation is Doyle. We was a Ranger in Vietnam and medically retired from the Army due to injuries received in the war. He went on to be a founding member of the San Diego SWAT team and retired as a Lt from that department. A real "Been There, Done That" type of guy. I'm glad you all have found him helpful. That being said, there is ALOT to learn about this business, and he does not know it all for he is just starting out with us. So, let's set the record straight. We do sell ALL EoTechs to all comers, just like we'll sell suppressors. We encourage concealed carry in our store, and will sell all legal products to all law abiding citizens. Do not worry about that! As for the classes, we are going to have ALL KINDS of classes and training. Most will be free, some will cost and others will be LE only. It depends on the event. For example, "Team One" will be using ALL of our sites for their courses....Which cost $$$. But, our vendors will be having training and classes which are free. If there is vagueness, it is because we have not yet put the schedule togther! Details will be forthcoming when finalized! Dave Hensley |

Excellent news!
Would be better if the store was in the north part of Seattle. Will you guys have the Camelback packs there? At 25% I may be tempetd by the Motherlode or Transformer. Or, if you do not have them there can I still enjoy the 25% discount if ordering by mail? Cheers! |
|
They have a bunch of Camel-Baks.
It looks like a nice place. A little sparse, right now, but that's okay. I'll be back, that's for sure. |
|
I stopped in there today. Nice looking place.
The guy said there has been alot of arfcommers coming in there the last couple days. |
|
Bosifus was their first customer....I was their second! |
|
|
What items aren't available for the discount? I'm asking a second time because I figure it would be nice to know...... anyone have any ideas?
|
|
When I went in today, he said everything was 25% off. My only guess would be that firearms won't be, if they get any in before the 1st of the year.
|
|
Cool. I'll give them a call first, just in case. It's a 60 miles ride (one way) from where I am... |
|
|
No EOTech it the store and no discount even when they come in. They also gave me the BS about no NV models to non mil/leo. Didn't see any Aimpoint either. Lots of BlackHawk stuff there.
I did pick up a few of the new MagPul followers, new ASP cuffs and a mag carrier. A lot of empty space. Limited selection now, but it has potential. I'll be checking back. |
|
I was there today and saw an LMT BUIS. They also had GG&G's BUIS. |
