Rental Guns

I love rental guns. The best profit a range has. I'm cleaning a Glock 19 and just checked and it's been rented 400 times @ $10.00 each. Add in at least one box of ammo and that's not too bad for a gun that I think cost around $300.00 on my Glock rental program two years ago.

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Two years to yield 100 dollars? And what is the depreciation over that time?
Check your math. That's 4000.00 that that little Glock has brought in in rentals alone, not including profit on ammo sales.

400x10 is $4000 not $400[;)]

Could you please give us a list of things you have designed...and whether you had your glasses or not when you worked on each of them?
Just out of pure curiosity, of course. [;)][8D][:D]
And the best part is in a couple more years I will apply the brown water based protective coating (well it may be hard to get a Glock to corrode) and sell it to 84Bravo1.[:D][}:)][:o)][:D][:0]

Need to edit that name to Mr. Perfect (except for math) [:p]
Why?
It costs you time and money to do that, plus the gun is out of service while being cleaned and might miss a rental.
A range I know, only cleans their rental guns when they stop working.
Some of their stainless revolvers look like they are black.

You are too good to me Ricci. [:0]
You guys who rent these guns DO clean them once a week or earlier don't you?.....don't you?.....Aske me why I ask.
