Went to transfer a person to person firearms sale with this FFL and after they "FINALLY" got the paperwork done told us that the seller had to take the guns home until the buyer was cleared and then the seller had to bring back in the guns to complete the transfer (1hr away), The paper work and fees were already completed when they told us their policy, Other than taking forever to complete the process (over an hour easy) the guy that worked there let us stand around while he roamed the store looking dumb, The one lady who eventually helped us was nice and I really did not have a problem with her but the rest were unknowledgeable and worthless to say the least, STAY AWAY>>>>
Revised Review: The owner of the Capital Pawn businesses is concerned enough to reach out about this review making sure people get the best experience from their dealings with his company and We all know how hard it is to find good employees, That is the reason I did not throw all of his locations in with my review, Again the girl behind the main counter was good and helpful but the guy that worked? there on 04/19/24 around noon was terrible, All that I ask is to let people know your policy before the process starts and hold employees to a at least more courteous standard….

Firearm transfers are a disaster. Took 3 hours of both the seller and the buyers time. No wonder they want paid up front. I'll never darken their doorway again.

I will update my review as at least the owner is concerned about their reputation and called me. Great guy and great communication. Very hard to find good help and government policies make it very hard to protect your business. I understand their concern about doing the right thing, but will not do business as other FFL transfers take a fraction of the time. I don't know the answer and am quite sure things about firearms are not going to get easier. Don't know the answer but the owner of Capital Pawn is a stand up guy!

Bought from here and had a seamless exchange. Thank you.

Went there today for the First time to transfer a firearm. went super smooth and the transfer fee was very reasonable. The guys there were super friendly ended up staying there after the transfer and just chatting with the guys.

I've known the owner for over 20yrs. and purchased my first 12guage Remington wingmaster here. Ralph has also given me a fair price when I sold him weapons. They also buy gold/silver and carry ammunition. Check out their products.

Great guys and bigger selection than I expected. If you're looking for hard to find ammo, give them a call you might be surprised.

This is my local gun shop and gun smith. My first choice and have been stopping in for a couple of years now. Good bunch of guys with a wealth of knowledge.

I wish I could give Dicks zero stars. It's not a 2A-friendly place to shop

Have only used them once, but will be back. One of the nicest shops I have been in.

Bought an upper and minuteman ammo not too long ago last year or so before the parts ban. Love minuteman ammo for my .357 Magnum 686+ specifically their 125gr offering. You want to smack something hard and let them know it as much as your hand? That's the load to go with.

Alex is a good person to work with, super nice guy and is very helpful and honest.

I've been going to this pit for years and it's well known as being more than questionable some times in regard to safety and other shooters. This most recent visit was no different.

We got there early and had no issue setting up and communicating for a cease fire to setup targets. We shot for a solid hour or so as more people showed up and started setting up. The range went cold after a group on our far right went down the line asking for a cease fire. Everybody agreed and an audible 'CEASE FIRE' was yelled out between parties. As the group that asked for the cease fire is crossing the firing line, BANG. Dumbass to our left starts popping of his pistol. Luckily nobody was down range yet. I yelled, "Hey! HEY!! CEASE FIRE!" He apparently was annoyed given the look on his face and whatever he muttered under his breath as he threw his pistol down on his table.

Later on that day, more and more people showed up as it tends to happen here. Another group setup to our left and had zero firearms experience, flagged the line both directions, was chambering rounds with their fingers on the trigger, etc. Then on the far right side, a group showed up that smelled heavily of weed and started blasting off full auto's with home made suppressors. Our group of three rigs packed up and took off after that.

The pit itself is great. It's really the people that mess it up. Please bring bags with you and pack out some extra garbage when you go. Places have been shut down for abuse over the years and I'd hate to see the Greenwater pit be added to that list. Go early morning on weekends or during the week to avoid the super huge crowds or slightly past the big pit, take a right and explore further up the mountain. There are a number of smaller areas to setup and shoot with good backstops and no crowds.

Range was closed back on 10/2022 due to concerns over led contamination at the range and ground water for the local salmon-bearing stream.

Have completed several firearm purchases and transfers through them over the years. Typically do business because they are conveniently located. I've had some good experiences but would never say any have been great.

Lots of the gun counter folks will stand around and BS rather than come to help or ask if you need assistance. I understand they get a lot of tire kickers and window shoppers but that's part of doing sales. Have started taking my business elsewhere locally because of better customer service but I hope they turn it around.

I'll still patronize them for ammo, shooting supplies, and waterfowl hunting gear as much as able rather than using online or big box stores.

Found Sporting Systems when looking to complete the now required firearm "training" requirement. Great outfit and easy to-follow FREE online course. They've also been a 2A advocate and past sponsor of an event I'm running on May 4th at the Granite Falls Sportsman's Club supporting Boy Scouts and shooting sports.

I visited Benchmark with a muzzlerloader barrel for a project I'd been working on. I needed the breech back-bored an additional 3/4". This is NOT their usual request. On the wracks I could see lots of actions with very high-end looking barrels mated to them. But he must have sensed my frustration and offered to put it on a lathe right there and then. I was out the door 5 minutes later for a nominal fee.
Thanks Benchmark!

Great selection of more obscure/hard to find weapons platforms and ammunition types. No fuddery or funny business, just a good group of folks with a great facility. Great assortment of high-quality accessories, too (no Timber Creek or Tapco garbage).

This is a great resource for any type of outdoor gear, sporting good at great prices.
Have nice ads that come out monthly and always looking forward to review.

My wife and I enjoy going there to practice and learn. She only feels comfortable there when we go shooting. They are very nice and well maintained lanes. We have taken some lessons there, the staff was very patient and good to learn from.

I just started a few months back starting my collection, and buy all my stuff from here. They have lead me right on every purchase, and now have Will custom building me a few. I can not wait to get them to the range.

Thank you to Double Tap,
