"This was by far the friendliest gun shop I had ever visited, bar none. Almost every other place glances at a weapon, names a price, and moves on. Your establishment is very customer friendly." – Customer testimonial

• •Investment management services for collectors using firearms as alternative investments
• •Finders fees for referrals that lead to collection purchases
