Great to deal with, very knowledgeable, and great at finding exactly what your looking for
Cons
None to date
David is a great guy to work with, has always met my need when i have been looking for firearms, has good inventory, and better prices than the larger shops.
I've been going to AFS for transfers for a few years now and it's always a good experience. Steve's service is the best I've found in the area so whether it's for guns or suppressors you can be confident that you're in good hands.
Their Notify when back in stock worked even after a year
Great shop with lower to high end stuff and stuff in stock
Gun came in quickly and recieved an instant
Cons
None
Missed the Talo Ruger AR15 over a year ago. Filled out the "Notify when in stock". Completly forgot about it. Got an email a week ago and bought it. Can't wait to go try it out. Nice drive up for father son time. Will buy from again.
Ron is a great guy, very knowledgeable and also very helpful. I have done several transfers thru him. You never know what he is going to have in his place when you go there.
In the area with my wife and stopped by in between antique stores. They had a huge selection of firearms and ammo I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Prices seemed reasonable too. An older gentlemen was very jovial and helpful. He helped me look at a few items and we discussed things I'd be interested in that they could order. I told him I was from out of town but would gladly be willing to pay for the shipping to my FFL if he could find it. After a bit of further discussion he said he wouldn't order it because I seemed like the kind of guy that would have a look at it and say no thanks. Once he said that, I thanked him for his time and left. He doesn't know me and doesn't know I would never go back on something I ordered at an agreed upon price, but that kind of attitude left me cold and dissuaded me from ever returning.
If you go there, enjoy the selection and the prices, but I wouldn't bother with ordering through them and I'd probably avoid any discussion more than what it took to buy something they had in stock. Judging from the other reviews, maybe we just got off on the wrong foot, but I won't be going there again.
Great selection as they seemed to have everything that I wanted but didn't have the funds to purchase. Staff was really friendly and willing to help. I took in my upper to get my delta ring off which they did. If I didn't live so far I'd be back more often.
Bought a couple machine guns from Ray years ago. Ended up selling him my sten not long after. A fair guy. Love his shop. He always had a huge friendly dog in the back too.
Generally ignorant employees who couldn't care less about helping customers.

Pros
Cheap prices
Cons
Literally everything else.
Waited 20 minutes for an employee with "keys" to show up to unlock ammunition case. When employee with keys finally arrived they were rude and complaining about their fellow coworkers.
Good selection of AR-style rifles, bolt action rifles, and shotguns
Very good selection of handguns - new and consignment
Cons
Can be busy at times - but keeps them in business!
Ammo selection often very thin - but welcome to 2021
A small, locally-owned LGS in Salem, Oregon. A great place to go for FFL transfers with a reasonable fee ($30). A good cross-section of parts, optics, handguns and long guns. Although , ammo selection can reach drought proportions on most occasions. The staff are the highlight of this business. While sometimes appearing a little gruff or short, you have to understand the Retail industry. When it's busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest, patience can be stretched thin - especially with the guy wanting to tell you how much HE knows about the history of the 30-06 caliber and it's importance in modern society... Anyway, visit the crew on a random Tuesday or Wednesday at 2:00 pm and you'll find a more chipper group of guys willing to chat with you about your new sub-MOA Bergara B-14 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and share with you those helpful tips on keeping your new tack driver clean!
God Bless Tick Licker and the USA!
