Did a couple of transfers here, as it's the only shop nearby and they were known by both companies I bought my items from. Super easy, efficient, and fast. Transfer was $40 which I was happy to pay to keep from driving across town to save $10. Don was very friendly and great to talk to. Inventory in the shop was very thin, particularly for firearms, but they had some hard to find accessories in stock.
Great local hole in the wall revealed a real gem. I usually swing by and talk or buy ammo. I think I have also picked up a few benchmades at great prices. They have a small but interesting selection of guns. The really cool stuff are the used guns that come in on consignment. I swear the owner must know a number of collector types who periodically want to rotate their collection. Once you figure out their hours, it is pretty consistent. Closed Mondays, most Sundays, shot show, snow days on Germantown. Ammo pricing is usually pretty good. Walmart prices on .223. Installed my sights on my m&p .22. Great job.
Only had some gun smith work done there, but the price was right, the work was done well, and quickly at that. Owner served in Vietnam in the same unit I served in in Iraq - bonus points!
After having a bad "smith" experience on the Washington side of the river, I took my slide over to Shooters Service Center to have new Trijicon Tritium sights installed. Called to verify hours, headed over and everyone I met was just great. 1 week later all my sight trouble of the past was resolved and I could not be happier with the final install. Will definitely be bringing more work their way. Now it's off to the range.
I have to agree that they are very nice people, very knowledgeable and don't get mad when you have questions for a "do-it-yourself" job. I would recommend them if you can get there when they are open.
I used to go there a lot when I was in college because it was right near my school. Usually has a good stock of cheap ammo to buy and a fast-changing inventory of cool guns to check out. I learned pretty quick that you have to call ahead before going there though lulz. Fortunately there is a coffee shop across the street to chill in until they get back if they are gone when I get there.
I lived in North Portland and never knew it was there. Then I found a Springfield 1911 Loaded lightweight and just so happens to be for sale from someone who works there. Anyway, I had a chance to look around while we did paperwork and they had a small collection of hand guns and rifles. What they had a lot of was small parts, magazines, etc.... They are a bunch of friendly people and I would recommend if your in the area to check them out.
I live blocks away, and until my wife happened to be driving my car , I'd never turned my head to the right and noticed this place.
Been getting ammo and cleaning supplies off and on for a while now, and a few older shooters I've met at the range have specifically praised the workshop.
Small but decent selection of pistols & parts. Good luck getting in, with their hours you'd swear it's almost a secret club. But if I owned a gun store I'd set my own hours too. Life is short.
