Pros
  • Friendly staff.
  • Decent gun selection.
  • Indoor range, with gun rentals.
  • Easy to get in despite capacity limits on people inside.
Cons
  • Above average priced transfer fees.
  • Charges you for holding onto private sale transfer guns
  • Holds onto SAR guns longer than state min. of 10 days.
Went in for a private transfer to buy a semi auto rifle from a member here on the forum and the process was easy and nothing unpredictable for the most part. Staff were nice and I was able to get in without waiting on a Saturday, which is a rarety now.

My only complaints are why they don't hold onto guns while the background checks are being done for private sale in state transfers. Otherwise they charge you. Also, it baffles me as to why they hold onto semi auto "assault" rifles (SARs) for 17 days as a store policy vs the WA state min. of 10 days. I'm not sure what the extra seven days is supposed be for.

Transfer fees are high compared to other shops, ended up paying nearly $70 for the transfer fees, charges for holding into the rifle during the waiting period and sales tax.

All in all, great shop, nice people, but I'd definitely go somewhere else for in state private party transfers to save a few bucks.
