  My go to for FFL transfers and pawns! Always pleasant and one of the only places in town that doesn't treat me any different for being a female. (Lady firearm enthusiasts know what Im talking about.) Super nice and personable guys. They have always notified me promptly when my purchase has arrived or when my NCIS has come back if there's a wait. Love the small local business feel.

  Response from the owner

  Thank you for your kind words. We try our best to treat all of our customers like Family. Hope to continue to see you around. We enjoy doing transfers for everyone, it's fun seeing what our customers are finding online!

  Low inventory and weird attitude. I stopped by to see if they had any interesting firearms or random magazines that would work for firearms in my collection. Very small firearm inventory at my visit, which is understandable due to the recent run on gun purchasing throughout the country. The guy behind the gun counter was nice, though so I chatted with him for awhile. I offered him ten dollars for a used, unmarked magazine sitting behind the counter that appeared to fit a CZ82/83. The owner/manager then came by but was insulted by the "ridiculous" offer and walked away without even attempting to negotiate. For context, new CZ 82/83 magazines are regularly available for $20 online. Overall low inventory and bad vibes from owner/manager. Gun counter guy was super nice though.

  Me and my friend went to purchase our own guns today on 10/04/2021 and I previously went in there to purchase a firearm and was turned down and as I picked my friend up from school to purchase her own firearm was as well turned down under the assumption that she was buying it for me they cornered her from what I’ve heard questioning if she knew me and as far as im concerned i couldnt take it and put it on paper even if so i would still get turned down people just don't think and hope that they see this

  Response from the owner

  You were Denied by the Federal NICS system. Your friend then trying to buy the same gun is the definition of a straw purchase. A straw purchase is a felony. Your friend was not cornered. We aren't looking to get anyone in trouble and therefore explained to your friend the law and why we weren't going to sell her a gun. Firearms laws aren't something we take lightly.

  Extremely pleasant shopping experience with knowledgeable and helpful staff, I’ve been a customer for over a Decade and truly wouldn’t shop any place else for Firearms, Tools, Ammunition etc, they have great second hand items and there prices are the best in the Valley by far and absolutely the cleanest and well kept on almost an OCD level it’s great.. Semper Fidelis

  Very honest pawn broker, fair, and always willing to help people out. I've been in the store many times to sell and buy. I leave happy everytime. Dealing with these guys is safe and worth the short trip to Salem for me.

  Went in there one time to sell a camera and they said that they wouldn't buy from me because the never have seen the certain model of camera that I was selling before. I came in there another time to sell a portable DVD player and they said that they don't accept electronics even though they have electronics for sale in the store already!!! They WILL NOT be getting my business there again!

  Don't waste your time or money. Well No risk at wasting money theirs nothing there to purchase. Shown as a firearm dealer but there was only 3 guns in the entire store so I thought tools could be the next venture..... Nope none of them either.

  Response from the owner

  Our inventory fluctuates more than a normal retail store. It depends on a number of factors. We have also never been that low on guns in our 16 years of business. We just posted a picture of our current long gun inventory and some of our firearm inventory can be viewed on our website. Thanks for the review as it helps us improve, come back in and see us!

  Great store, plenty of changing inventory, and the jewelry is always great. Love all the pieces I've gotten there, and fair prices on all.

  I have bought a few things from pleasant interactions everytime. I don't know if you buy guns.

  Response from the owner

  We do buy and sell guns. However, they're hard to find even for dealers like us in today's COVID climate. Keep checking with us, inventory will come back around sooner or later!
