Firearms at Ace Hardware

[tanzuki]

Just drove through Stayton and their Ace Hardware store had a sign advertising firearms and ammo for sale. I didn't have time to stop and check it out but I'll have to stop by at some point to see what they have instock. Does anybody know if this is going to be a common thing for Ace? That would sure be nice.

I think that this might be one of the old time Ace stores. Our Ace here in St. Helens used to carry guns but went away from it years ago.

I find it weird, some Freddie's sell Powder and Ammo while others don't. Same thing for ACE I suppose.

I believe Ace is a Franchised Store. The one in Mount Vernon doesn't even sell pellets.

I stopped going to Ace when I went in to buy a key blank for impressioning a lock and they wanted to charge me the same price as a cut key. I told the guy that the ACE I used to go to only charged 1.00 not 2.99 he didnt care so I never went back.

Remember when GI Joe's changed to Joes.. and then went out of business? Well I noticed that Ace's jingle changed from "man" to "folks".. I wonder.
When Mr. Clean is changed to Amorphous Cleaning Entity, I'll be looking for the four horsemen. sayin. feh

Back in the day, Ace HW (Coast-to-Coast) was my go-to when I was in need of a new firearm. Their lay-away plan made it very inviting for me to gain a new rifle.
The prices were always higher than most other places, but at the time, I was building my credit. They served me well over the years. How they are these days, I doubt there will be good "stock up" and save prices. They'll likely be more of a obscure source.

Aside from my dealings and experiences with Boushers in Mt Angle and possible Brooks hardware I wasn't around during the time of your "good ol" neighborhood hardware store. Although my West Salem Ace is pretty good and quite helpful.

The owner of Stayton Ace Hardware decided on his own to become an FFL dealer and put in a gun counter he put in a small gun counter the response was very good he has expanded he now sells handguns rifles shotguns ammunition and some assessories it's a small store but worth supporting

Silverton Ace has a large selection of ammo and a whole aisle of shooting and hunting accessories

I do like me some old time hardware stores where someone knew what they were talking about when you asked them a question.

Firearms and ammo sales would just sweeten the deal.

Heck, does the NAPA store on Hwy 22 in Lyons still sell ammo? Did it ever sell firearms? They were always closed when I would pass by at odd hours.

There is a large ACE Hardware in Oak Harbor that has a nice sporting section with guns,
ammo and reloading equipment.

A hardware store in Florence sells firearms, I think it's an Ace store.

The Ace Hardware store in Arlington Oregon... Not only do they sell guns and ammo, it is also a liquor store. One stop shopping as it was meant to be.

WAYNO.

I miss the days before "Ace" or "Coast to coast", Or "True Value". Now those were hardware stores!
You could buy a new lens for your flashlight.
Now you gotta buy the whole flashlight with batteries in it.

Ace Hardware stores are all individually owned franchises. Brian is the owner of the Ace in question, I haven't been in there since I moved away but I know he's a gun guy; I sold him an AR a few years ago when I was working for a dealer.

It seems to be up to the individual franchisees to decide what they will and won't carry. I'm glad he's decided to carry guns though!

 

[Throckmorton]

yes indeed,it's the Ace in Florence,Or that sells firearms, ammo, knives ,etc.
Ive not done any price comparing yet. We hve 4 places to buy guns in Florence...even the Pro Lumber lumber yard.

The Ace out in La Grande has got it all! they have hunting gear, reloading supplies,rifles including AR's and AR accessories pistols. Its definitely worth a stop if your in the area, its a big selection and good stop during hunting season.
