Low private FFL transfer fees. Reliable FFL receiver.
AFS is a great shop that is super reliable resource for FFL transfers, for both private and online purchases. Their processing time for receiving an online order from another retailer was super quick and painless. They're also a great resource for suppressors.
Smaller shop. Not as many guns or guns accessories.
Limited parking.
I have been going to AFS for past 4ish years and never had bad experience. They priced their guns fairly, shop is clean, friendly environment. Happy to have them in Clackamas area.
I have done several transactions here and its always a good experience. They dont mind private transfers. They gave me a fair offer on a rifle I just didnt want anymore and made things easy. I cant recommend them enough.
Quick and professional. Digital forms with tablets.
Had a great experience having them do my paperwork and background check for a private purchase. Chad and Steve are great. Super friendly and accommodating. Will use them again for a private sale or purchasing new.
They can help source firearms/suppressors if they don't already have it
I have been dealing with Steve for years even before he opened up the Oregon City store and highly recommend him for purchases and transfers. His transfer fee is the lowest in the area and has helped sources several suppressors along with some firearms for me at a great price. He also has a good selection of firearms and suppressors for sale at fair prices.
Did a swap with another member today. Never been to AFS but seen quite a few members mention it. The guy I was trading with lived out in that direction so I figured I would travel that way and check AFS out. Sure glad I did! We got there as it opened and were helped quickly. Chad was the person who helped us and he was cordial, professional and actually knew what he was doing. This transfer went quickly for both our parties and the cost was $20 apiece. $10 for the background check and $10 for the transfer. That is the BEST DEAL in the Portland area. If I need to make a transfer again in that area of town, that's where I will go. GOOD JOB AFS!
Thank you very much for your review and feedback!! Parking is definitely a struggle down here. Your experience is what we strive for! We will continue to keep our private party transfer costs the way they are, as long as OSP doesn't increase the cost of background check submissions.
I went in for a stripped lower and ended up leaving with that and three magazines, they had a pretty good deal on them. Next gun I gun is coming from these guys
I truly went here last minute needing a FFL for a P2P transfer, and these guys took care of us immediately. It was an instant transfer, low price, easy transaction with friendly folks. I assume this shop makes their money on niche products and services more than tightly packed walls of firearms and accessories sold at retail. It's not so much a grand gallery as big box stores, but the things they did have in stock were very high end.
Gave me the impression they would rather have a customer for life than make a quick buck for the moment. Will shop there again. Steve and crew would rather research and look for the right item for their customer than try to sell them something off the shelf. Great shop!
We greatly appreciate your feedback! We have been saddled with limited parking because we are in downtown Oregon City. We try to make up for that in the service we provide!!
I’ve always been treated with respect and fast service when needing services from AFS
In times of gun transfers it's been easy to get in for an appointment to do so.
And when I've purchased; they were easy in accepting my firearm and getting in to start the background check.
