Has anyone had experience with them?

I bought a revolver from them once and later realized I got nailed on the cost. My fault though, didn't do homework....
The guy that works there during the week is great.
I'm just cautious now.

I can't say really,
I bought 7.62x54 russian for about $7.00 per 20 if I remember correctly (6 months ago). I got a 357 from them, but got hosed on the price (about $100 too much) as I found out after the fact. That was me early on and not doing any homework.
They carry my 7.5x55 Swiss as well, but haven't bought any.
I remember a bunch of old muskets, BP rifles/shotguns, various M1 Garands and carbines, a few other bolt actions. It's been about 6 months since I was last in there. Cool place for off the wall military items (helmets, bayonetts ect).
Like I said though, the guy in there during the week is great. Talks war pretty well too.......

$7 for 20 7.62x54r? If it was non corrosive that's a decent price. I'd be willing to be it was corrosive, though. If it was it should have been about $2-$3 per 20. Thanks for the warning about this place.

Small selection of pistols, many many older rifles, tons of cool old Military items. They've been there for many years. I go by there on occasion, as I work close by.

My folks own the building they occupy.

while their prices are high the'guy (if it's the old man) you refer to is very knowledgable as well as a good smith. haven't seen him in years. he built a few rifles for a former business partner of mine.

I like the place. I stop in if I'm working in the area to talk to the big Marine. He's always friendly and willing to talk guns.
