If you're going to post a "poor" rating, at least have the balls to give your reasons, or are you just being the proverbial turd in the punch bowl ?

I went there today for the first time. Based on the recomendation of this thread. Nice place, well organized, lots of guns, seems like stand up guy. Helped me sort out an issue i was having with my carry. Will go back and do more buisness.

I gave him a 4 because i am holding out for a place thats better. As of now, the best to date.

Definitely better than others in Salem. Will need to visit more to give them excellent.

Mick is a good guy. I've had several dealings with him and he has always treated me well. He is there to make money so don't expect top dollar for your trades. His trade values are no different than anyone elses, I checked.
I like his selection and the prices aren't bad. He has some black guns and a good selection of hunting rifles as well as a decent selection of pistols. He is the only shop I will deal with in Salem.

always treats me good, I been buying wolf 7.62 from him lately because he is the only one in town who has it...

I bought a rifle from him and it had been sitting on Mic's shelf so long that the company warrenty had expired. I took it back in to Mic and he sent it to a smith. It works a little better now but still the same problem just not as much. I don't know if I want to take it back in because I made so much of a stink when he tried to charge me for the fix. He's an ok shop. Prices are about 50 bucks more than philomath. I'd give him a 3.5 out of 5. He does not seem to know a whole lot about a whole lot when I ask him. Stays away from answering specific questions about his arms. With me anyway. I guess it's a liability thing and a revolving inventory thing. Philomath is a good shop too.

Mick is a grade-A guy, a gentleman, a real class act. I've bought many guns from him through the years and have always felt as though I got a heck of a good deal. If he doesn't have what you are looking for in stock, he'll do his best to find it for you. He's also willing to deal on occasion, especially on his used stock. He's open from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, although he does close for shows from time to time. It's always a good day when I've stopped in to see Mick.

Just picked up a couple shooters at Mick's, great price and service.....

Still the best shop in Salem

mick is a 1st class guy... sometime is prices are high & other time right on the money. purchased 4/5 guns from him only took a bath on 1, which i later found at the B.D. 4 about $290 less then mlc-charged me... best advice visit him look, then shop & compare. then decide where to spend you'r hard earned cash.

Mick is a solid guy in every respect. He runs one of the very few real shops left in the Salem area. I stop in just to BS with him when ever I can. If you go in and he’s talking away with someone join in, it’s all good. I’ve had some great conversation in his shop with folks I’ve never met before. And he knows his stuff.

Alittle high on pricing but what sucked was service.

I Like this shop, never purchased a firearm here, but lots of ammo here, goodprices, and the owner has begun to remember me.

A true stand up guy, One of two shops that get my money in the salem area.

Good place for FFL transfers too! I used another place in town for a couple years and just purchased with Mick and it was easier and less $$$. He also has great prices on custom order scopes and such if you want a good buy on something and don't want to mess with the internet.

I think there are often people just hanging out and tire kicking in the shop whick makes it tough for him help everyone at one time and could have resulted in concerns mentioned.


FYI: Your credit card statement may catch the attention of your spouse if that is a concern when she reads the "exotic" line item.

Mick is personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and has a sense of humor. I bought a rifle from him in January and I've arranged a transfer as well. I've also referred various friends. Mick negotiates in good faith and can be trusted. The selection of surplus military firearms is impressive. I'm going to continue to support him as much as I can.

Good selection, plenty of guns you don't see often and the owner is has always been a pleasure to deal with. Prices were a little high, and I have never made a purchase, but my father and multiple friends have, and have never been disappointed. One friend purchased an FAL that had a problem with the gas system; the owner took the gun back almost a year later (my friend's business requires considerable time traveling away from home) and got it fixed free-of-charge through a local gunsmith within a week!

This shop has a really good selection of quality new and used arms. Even carries the pain in the butt to find ammo with-out having to go to a show to find it.... Has good selection of everything for the size of his shop.

Good supply of Class III weapons. Fun to hang out and talk to Mic about guns or Corvettes. He has ordered cases of ammo for me at good prices. I have bought a couple of guns there.
