I had the pleasure of stopping by Bowers Tactical today and can only say I wish I had done so sooner.

Great shop! Thanks again for your expert advice!

Huge +1 from me as well. as soon as Mike gets the FFL - this shop is gonna be the one and only place to shop for my gun needs.

same from me as well. I went in earlier to get a new handguard for my AR and they were very helpful!

Yeah, same here. I stopped in a couple of days ago and was pleasantly surprised. It'll be good when he gets that FFL, though I imagine he'll get a lot of my accessory business in the meantime.

Holy crap these guys kick ass. Went in with little time and money, came out with badass installed parts in very short time. Rob's the shit with ar mods... I'll be spending lot's more of my money there for sure. He installed store bought items for free [Beer]

Thanks guys,

Glad to help, Josh! Thanks for stopping by.

To clarify, just so i don't get bound up, I will install AR parts, to include complete assembly of an upper receiver for free if you buy the parts here AND:

1) Though it should be obvious, first and for most, its LEGAL. Certain combinations of parts create federally regulated arms, which I am not licensed to create. or deal with. I will not knowingly break any federal or state laws.

2) Its safe. This mostly comes from the possibility to follow some one else's work, but can be brought on by a desire on the customers parts to use unsafe components against my recommendation. I reserve the right to evaluate and make this determination with no outside input. If i say its unsafe, there is no appeal.

3) I don't have to cut metal. This is largely a caveat for pinned and or welded muzzle devices, though could include other things. The free services are ARMORING. It gets to gun smithing, there will be charges involved.

4)Its not time sensitive. Free services are available on a first come, first served basis unless i have made outside agreements. They are free as i have time. I will not promise completion times on things that aren't being paid for. Most of the time its while you wait, but the more busy we get, the less realistic that becomes. If you need something fast on a promised schedule, money talks.

This is a service we like to provide for our customers as we are able. I do not in anyway promise that this will always be available, or make guarontee on any arms sight unseen. I reserve complete control to modify this arrangement or discontinue it at my discretion.

I hate having to write that kind of shit, but its the way of the world. For the cool people i generally meet here, the answer is, buy from us, and i'll put it on. Mess with me, and i'll throw stuff at you. ;)

I stopped by Bower's today to let them look at some issues I was having with my Stag. Walked out with 4 new components! 3 I had been looking for, 1 to help with the issue I'm having. Even have them ordering in some more for me. Great guys to deal with, fun to chat with, very knowledgable. As already stated, I will be doing business with them again!

I can't say enough about this place, to walk into a place and get greated like they have known you forever. I can go on but you owe it to your self to stop in there. Rob has hooked up my gun twice now. Thanks guys

They certainly kick ass. On 4 occasions now, I have left the shop with zero remaining cash. It is like they KNOW exactly how much money I have.
The service is great, the atmosphere is great. It just feels like family.[Beer]

Stopped by Bowers today for a rail panel, and ended up with a panel, and a new set of Ameriglos for the G20. Love these sights, and as always, Rob and Mike are great to do business with. Rob had the sights on, in about ten minutes, and I was on my way.

I had a great visit at this shop today, I went in to get my AR fixed and ended up with a fixed AR as well as a new forearm/afg for my 2nd AR and a gun belt.


Always good to support our local businesses.[Beer]

Last three trips to the store have been great. Good advice on a couple parts, some I was able to install myself and another Rob installed while I waited.
Mike was great helping me figure out some Woolrich items to get.

Good group of guys that seem to be very knowledgable and very helpfull. They also have a good selection of accessories to choose from, especially for the AR-15's. I went in today and they quickly installed an AAC 51t blackout that they had in stock at no cost besides the price of the flash hider. Unfortunately for me they're down the street from my house so I see Bowers Tactical becoming a strain on my wallet. Next in line is that dedicated .22 upper.

Simply awesome guys to deal with.
Some strange 'Bermuda Triangle' thing with my wallet.
Apparently it is simply not possible for me to exit the shop with any remaining cash. It is however, worth every penny.

My favorite accessory shop! Great guys to deal with and I would not hesitate to go back. In fact I need to hit it this week!

I think all my kudos for these guys was lost in the great crash of 2012 (which also wiped out my account on this site) and I want to give credit where it's due.

I've bought a lot of gear through these fellas and employed their excellent gunsmithing services on more than one occasion, on several different weapon systems. They've made a loyal customer out of me with their competitive pricing and top-notch customer service. Most recently had an APEX kit installed in my Shield and it's smooth as butter now. A+ for Mike and Rob at Bower's. You can't go wrong taking your business here. [Beer]

I stopped by the other day after I lost some parts building my first lower. Not only did they have the parts I needed and install them, they gave it a good once over and found a spring that I had put in upside down.

Super nice and very helpful. It's extremely nice to have a shop like Bowers around.

Stopped by for some quick work done on the MP-10 that was passed my skill level. Great work done as i waited, plus Robert passed on some good knowledge about using my rifle in cold/snowy weather (hunting season).

A few weeks ago I was looking for a chamber brush for the MP-15 and mp-10, went to that one store down the street they didn't have it, but Mike of course did, should have gone to Bowers first to look for them.

Thanks guys!

I've shopped at Bower's for a few years, but never anything big. A pistol case once, a few 1911s mags and a Apex kit for my S&W M&P 9. Went in there on Friday to see if I could fill a hankering for a SPR AR. Expected to purchase one of their DD rifles, but through collaboration with Mike and Robb, ended up purchasing a lower from them and they are providing the 'smithing services to put together a custom build for me. Would have been easier and more lucrative for them to go along with my original idea of upgrading one of their DD rifles, but their integrity and commitment of doing right by the customers steered me in a new direction.

The guys at bower's are great. I got a magpul ASAP plate for my AR, while I could have put it on myself, I let these guys do it. They put it on for free and it was properly staked (which may have given me a harder time than it gave them). These guys are very knowledgeable about their products, they explain everything before you buy so you can be an informed consumer. When I was building my AR, I went to these guys many times. They even have an amazing return policy. Will for sure do business with them again.

I was at their shop just a couple of days ago to get a quick modification done to my AR. I've been in there a couple of times before to get some parts added to both my AR and AK. Great guys, super helpful, do a great job every time.

I have had nothing but good experiences ever since I started going there a while ago. Most recently, I bought a gun at another store and brought it in to them to mount the scope and some furniture that I purchased from them. Mike did a great job on it and I could not be more pleased.

Can't say enough about how helpful the guys are at Bowers. Awesome guys to deal with, good prices and inventory and willing to make sure things are done right. Will continue to spend my money with them in the future.

Bowers is the best! Mike and Rob are a great team. This is my favorite place and the only place. When you buy something there Rob will install it free while going in depth on any subject that you are engaged in. This is where I spend my money!! A local well run business.

I had picked up a M&P Compact, went to Bowers bought an Ameriglo front night sight and the Apex duty/carry kit, MIke gave me great prices on them-Rob installed them on the spot. Later on I knew I wanted a full size, Rob removed those parts, I sold off the Compact, found a great deal on a full size, went in and Rob installed those parts on the full size while I waited. I've done other small purchases over the years (6 postion tube on my 6920, again installed on the spot). One of the few places I don't feel bad leaving with less money than I walk in with lol.

I went in to look into replacing the sights on my M&P Pro today. They replaced the fiber optic for free so instead I spent the money on some new night sights for my compact. I always look forward to giving those guys my business.

Every time I go in there it's been nothing but a great experience. I love the fact that you can feel there passion about what they do. I love the honesty and friendliness from these guys. The fact that they are patient with people new to the AR or gun world in general and are straight forward with you. I will keep coming back to these guys for all my parts needs.

Bowers helped me select a rail for my rifle and installed it on the spot. Good stuff. After a bit more of conversation, I ended up with a new sling and hardware. Again installed while I waited. Friendly and professional all the way.

Went in on Friday and got some parts to finish up my 300 BLK. VERY helpful even though they were busy. Some how made it out of there without my buffer retainer pin and spring. Went back down today to get a trigger and brought up that I was missing a couple of pats when I got home. Without question I received the parts. It is really fantastic to be able to receive this kind of service in today's world and you don't even have to pay a premium for it. Thanks Bowers!

Was introduced to Bowers Tactical a few months back by a co-worker.... Today, was looking for a buffer tube detent and spring, after a lot of time there under hypnosis and a lot of failed debating with myself.... walked out with:
Spikes Tactical & Aero Precision stripped lower
Aero Precision nickel boron BCG
Magpul aluminum trigger guard
few 22lr rounds
detent/spring
H2 buffer and spring

Spent a few minutes or more talking with each person there on different topics. Good group of people and kick ass dog as well. My 120lb akita is pissed with me now. I would highly recommend this shop based on knowledge, but also the customer service!! Now if only Saturday would come a little quicker so I can get out to Pawnee and finish zeroing in this damn AR Pistol.

BTW, I told you guys I'd see you next year..... Went in Friday to inquire about starting a build (was thinking just a part or two for the lower) with one of the lowers. That finished AR build was flawless out at Pawnee today!!

The customer service and atmosphere here is a true family environment, and the extra time for detailed explanations with "facts" to back it up is amazing there.

Was looking for a newly released gun and Sean tracked one down and had it in my hands the next day at a very fair price, then installed an accessory on it when I picked it up. Great customer service experience.
