Question for dealers.......layaways?

[Comanche]

Do any, most, some, not many dealers do layaways on firearms?

If so, is this something most dealers frown upon and how does this work?......do you have them order what you want and put down a down payment then pay a certain amount until it's paid off?

I just noticed there are a lot of guys wanting 1911's and other pistols and was thinking a layaway deal might be best for someone that would like to just pay off a top of the line model instead of settling for an entry model.

I find myself plopping down a few bucks on ammo every time I hit Wally World so why not do the same with that pistol I've been wanting?

Alot of places do layaway...Stoddards in Douglasville is 20% down payment and pay the rest off within 60-90 days cannot remember. Adventure Outdoors is similar....I have had to put a few on layaway....

Most dealers willing to do layaway will do 20-25% down and give you 60-90 days to pay it off. Some questions to ask is what portion is it refundable and do you have to make monthly payments.

Cherokee Gun and Pawn and GA Firing Line both do layaway as well.

My LGS's do it. 20% down and 90 days to pay it off. Only done it once and letting it sit there killed me so I paid it off the same day.
