The Firing Line

[Phillygunner]

Rob is now officially closed for business and enjoying retirement. Tom is still in business and will continue to be in business until a better opportunity presents itself. I just bought a shotgun from Tom about a week ago. Tom will always make you a good deal and he's a good guy to deal with. Tom and Rob were two of my favorites of the small independents. Green mountain guns also will do you a nice deal. And a couple of the guys are real good guys. :roll:

Having purchased a couple rifles from the consignment rack and used the range a few times I have this to say about the store:

Great selection of tacticool rifles, shotguns and pistols!
The younger guy behind the counter has been very polite and helpful. The older guys along with the owner come off as polite but "indifferent" to me. Having worked behind the counter myself, I can't much hold it against them. I was never treated badly or snubbed but didn't walk away exactly feeling great about doing business with them.


The indoor pistol range NEEDS BETTER VENTILATION! I've been to my share of indoor setups and theirs gets pretty bad if there are 3 or more people doing heavy shooting. If visiting during the weekends, expect smoggy conditions!

I rate:
A+ Gun selection
B to A- Service
A+ Knowledge
A+ Accessories selection
C Shooting Range

I'll pluck through the consignment rack, look for deals behind the counter and use the range only if I am desperate.

I stoped in there this weekend, they seemed nice enough, and they were very helpful. the prices seemed somewhat fair.

Im there pretty often...they are nice chatters, but a bit of gun snobs and overpriced...

They have a used Romanian AK for $600...I asked about that price, saying it was too high...they agreed, but that was it...still there months later and no price drop....

The range is okay, but me and some friends went there on 10/21 and it was downright frigid in there, with snow on the ground outside...overhead heaters on every lane, none turned on...

I'll say this, I bought my first firearm from them...pretty good deal. $325 for a Sigma .40 brand new...but yeah, they are overpriced but are friendly...theyve let me handle their MP5 a couple times, and the PS90 once...

[Ridge]

Heads up...they have a truckload of stripped DPMS lowers in stock for $129.95 a piece! Looks like all their AR stuff is the same price it was last week...

Awwwww the range was cold. Gimme a break. Gunfights happen in all sorts of inclimate weather. I love their range because they let me DRAW from my holster or a low ready rifle (pistol caliber AR).

[Ridge]

BS! All gunfights go down on partly cloudy days with temperatures at 60 or better...

FYI, The Firing Line has CMMG .22 conversion kits with 1 BDM 25rd mag in stock, I think a half dozen of em...

They also have a FDE PRS stock, and a few other items...a bit of a markup from online vendors (averaging around $20) but about evens out with shipping...

This is my second favorite shop in the area. I think they have the most knowledgeable staff of the shops I've been too, and a great mixed inventory. The staff at first seems like they might have an attitude but they don't. After 3 years of going in here, not one bad experience.

I've been going there and have been a member there for nigh on 10 years. They do charge higher-end retail for their new guns, but I have gotten 1 or 2 great deals from them on used guns. Both? times I made an offer lower than the tagged price, they went in back and came out agreeing to my offer. I'm nobody's buddy there but I am recognized when I go in. I've probably bought 4-5 guns there. Great selection, lots of used guns, something new whenever I visit. I like the place.
