Called ahead to make sure they were doing private transfers. Met the buyer this morning at their shop, no fuss, attitude or grumpiness. All around great place to do business.

I have purchased two firearms from them, transferred one to them from guns.com and transferred one to a relative. All 4 interactions were excellent, and I will always think first about choosing them for my firearm related needs before considering any other shop. Support these guys, they really are the best around.

  • Friendly, and courteous . Great selection, knowledgeable staff.
Cons
  • Disappointed they raised their transfer fee. I will shop around next time.
I used them for a private transfer two year ago and very please with them . So when I needed to do another transfer, just automatically choose them. I got caught in the que. not there fault. Called after two weeks and was told not to call they would call me. Waited to more weeks . Found the check had already gone through and no one had called. Very surprised when I went to pay and i was informed their fee was $45.

  • These guy's know their stuff I actually trust that I'm not getting a line of crap!
Cons
  • can't think of any?
I do as much business w/them as possible because I trust them & that's saying a lot for an old timer like me, who didn't just fall of a turnip truck.

Thes= Salem location worked with my dad in selling his firearms on consignment, they did a great job in making quick sales at the prices my dad wanted and providing documentation for the Estate. In the end they assisted me in purchasing the remainder of his estate and working with me on final accounting. I could not imagine working with a better crew in such a devastating time in my life. Thanks to their hard work and detailed paperwork my father's estate was settled with the remainder of the family without any issues.
Great place, great people!

  • Great selection of firearms and great customer service
I love going to this shop: they have a great selection of firearms and accessories, and the customer service is fantastic. There is always multiple sales reps there to answer your questions and to show guns. My nephew named his beloved .22 chipmunk after them - "the Tick Licker".

Pros

  • Good Selection
Cons
  • Ammo Inventory
Tick Lickers is my go to shop, I have done several Transfers there, as well as bought plenty of firearms. My wife bought a .380 and 1911 from there as well. Austin is always a pleasure to deal with, Mike (No longer there) was also a great guy to deal with. They're a no B.S. Shop straight to the point and you don't get the salesman attitude which I enjoy. Ammo is thin there, which is in line with everyone else. Prices are slightly higher but I'd rather support them than the larger corps. They treated me well during the M114 fiasco, when sportsman's was turning people away and not honoring the 3 day rule. Tick Lickers was following the law as is its spelled out!
