Pros
  • Blue Label Dealer
Tick Licker is the shop I call first for all blue label purchases I make. They usually have what I'm looking for. The staff has never made me feel stupid for not sharing the same knowledge they do, which I've experienced with other shops.
Excellent shop with great variety and good knowledge.

Pros
  • Class 3 dealer, excellent service, very knowledgeable
Cons
  • In Salem (for us Portlandians)
I have done business with Tick Licker for the past 4 years and have always been impressed with their excellent selection as well as their great customer service. I would highly suggest a visit for anyone who hasn't been.

For those like me who live in Portland, it is well worth the drive. In addition they are a class 3 dealer and made the purchase of both of my suppressors easy and hassle free.

I will definitely be dealing with them again in the future!

Pros
  • Very helpful and honest staff.
  • Excellent assistance with FFL transfers!
  • 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!

Pros
  • Lots of inventory and major selection
Cons
  • Can be very busy
Have used this shop for transfers three times. Each time I walked out with something extra. I appreciate the amount of inventory they have. I don't think I have ever seen that many Aero Precision parts in one place. They always have some type of ammo that I need. Ammo prices have increased and it reflects at their shop too but its across the board.

The place also has a lot of binary triggers, pretty much for every platform they make them in.

I've done business with them a couple of times, once when I was shipping a pistol to an ffl and once when I bought a receiver from them, both times they were friendly helpful and reliable. I highly recommend them if you need an ffl in Salem.

I drove down there to do a transfer. Nice small shop, well organized. Very nice selection of firearms considering the times. Ammo considering the times was OK.

Very fair transfer fee. The clerk was kind enough to ask if I had a CHL as it might go faster and I wouldn't have to make the drive again (I normally just use my ODL at the home shop), I kind of wanted to play the game with my ODL but went with the CHL and walked out of the shop a few minutes later.

Nice folks, interactions with other customers was courteous while I was there. If I lived closer this would be a shop that I would frequent.
Great LGS

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they have a good inventory. I bought my Glock 43 from them at a fair price. Definitely one of the better shops in the area.

One of the best shops in the Salem area. I've been buying from them since not long after they opened a few years ago. Great staff and a nice selection of guns, new and used. They will work with you on online transfers or order something for you. I've had good service with both. The new store isn't as cramped and they have more available now.
