A Cut Above Pawn

I've gotten FFL items half a dozen times through them and the first time they were extra patient with me and helped me figure out my paperwork. Every time after that has been smooth and easy, like it should be, this is my go to dealer for FFL transfers.

I'm just here so I don't get fined. I've reviewed all I'm going to review. Must be 50 characters... Stupid to require just to get progress on a outdoor website...

seems to be a good place to go for transfers. not really centrally located but not everything can be downtown Portland.

I have done two private party transactions there and both times I was treated like a gold star customer. Great place to do business at.

My firearm transfer point of choice, and a great source for used firearms.

I only do my farm transfers at this place. They're very reasonably priced and seem to have their act together.

The best place in town to get a firearm transferred. Friendly and knowledgeable staff get you in and out with no hassle. Highly recommended!

I bought a firearm from a forum member and we did the transfer paperwork here. The transaction was very fast and painless and only $25 including the background check fee.

I also asked for advice on selling an unusual and expensive gun. Rather than giving me a lowball offer they gave good advice on value and suggested selling it at auction, even offering to handle the shipping and transfer for a reasonable fee.

I will definitely come back again!

I was in and out in less than 30 minutes, and service was friendly

The service with these guys is great and I enjoy working with them.

This team has to be the friendliest group of people i have ever worked with. John the owner is a fair as it gets.

A Cut Above was fantastic for a recent large batch of transfers I conducted. I liquidated my father's collection and did many transfers. All were smooth and convenient.

The staff appear to be real firearm enthusiasts as well.

(Darn now that I think about it I wish I hadn't sold that Blackhawk...)

I met a forum member at Cut Above yesterday to do a private party transfer, and was pleasantly surprised to find so many knowledgable people working the counter. I was the buyer, and my total time at the counter to take care of business was only 10 minutes or so, even though there were several other customers also at the counter. I will gladly make the drive from Corvallis again next time I want to meet a buyer in the Beaverton/Aloha/Hillsboro area.

Great bunch of guys (and a gal) working the shop. Polite knowledgeable and super friendly!

I have used Cut Above for my last three transfers, they have been helpful, friendly and fast. I can't recommend them enough.

I use them for as many transfers as I can. 25$ and I am in and out of there in 15 minutes! Staff is friendly, professional and respectful!

Been having guns sent here for FFL transfers for me for a few years. Staff is great and the cost is one of the lowest in the Metro area. Great place for private party transfers. The guns they have are in good shape and of good quality.

This is my first impression of A CUT ABOVE PAWN.

Yesterday, I stopped by after work just to check it out since I live in the area. I had no intention of getting anything but if I saw something I liked it would be a bonus. I was politely greeted and asked if I needed any help. I said it was my first time in the shop and wanted to look around. They had a good selection of guns and I had an interest in their shotguns. Most had good to reasonable prices. I could see almost every item was in good condition. No flea market junk here, at least not any I could see.

I was asked again if I wanted to look at anything in particular and I asked some basic questions about the shotguns. The employee (James - I think) came over and I said I was looking for a 20 gauge shotgun since I accidentally bought some 20 gauge shells. I figured I should just get a 20 gauge shotgun. Problem solved. He agreed.

He handed me the only 20 gauge they had to look over despite me initially refusing since my hands were hot and sweaty from work. As I looked over the shotgun he immediately offered to reduce the price if I was interested in buying it. I was hesitant at first because I really didn't plan to buy anything that day. We discussed whether I should get it or wait another day.

He did what I consider is reasonable. He tried to sell me the shotgun but it wasn't pressure sales at all. I got the impression he understood and respected my reasons and didn't pressure me at all. That was very cool. How often does that happen these days?

We negotiated a little more and I ended up buying the shotgun. I'm just waiting for my background check to clear before I go pick it up. Overall, I was pleased to shop there because I was treated with courtesy and respect. I was also given a great deal on a shotgun!

I can't speak for everyone but they earned my business that day. There are other items on my shopping list so I intend to return. Would I recommend this shop? Yes. Do I feel they are honest, fair, and helpful? Yes.

They seem like pretty decent people working there so if you have an unpleasant experience, go back another day and give them a chance to give you a better experience. We all have bad days. I know I have. I've also been treated terribly at other stores at one time or another so I realize it happens. I won't pretend it doesn't. I have a feeling this store is a place I'll do my shopping again because I tend to return to places that treat me right. They treated me right.

Great place to do a transfer if that’s your area. Owner remembered me from six years ago doing a firearms sale.
