Fine Line Firearms opened in 2012 and operates completely different from the typical gun store assembly line. No waiting in lines, no deli ticket system, no rushing. When you call ahead for an appointment between 10:30 AM and 5:30 PM, Mark and his staff give you their full attention with zero distractions.
Located in Boxborough, MA (972 Massachusetts Avenue), the shop sits convenient to Route 495 and serves the Middlesex County area and beyond. New shooters are explicitly welcome—the staff spends whatever time it takes to explain operating features, safety, and options without pressure.

- •Curio & Relic eligible firearms
- •Military surplus including Tula Russian Military ammunition
- •Handguns from SIG SAUER, Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Walther, Beretta, FN, and others

"No lines, no waiting, and no grumpy gun guys. Working with them was a fantastic experience with immediate responses and excellent customer support."
