For reference, I use Brad's for transfers almost exclusively, so be aware that my review…read moreencompasses that experience. For my purposes, they're almost perfect. Outside being a jaunt across the bridge which is not so fun in the late afternoon, they're pretty close by, have good transfer fees, as well as friendly, knowledgeable, & responsive staff. I've never had an issue getting FFL info to a shipper, they're good about calling when your items are ready to pick up, and they've never had any issues processing some of my more complex transfers. That's about all I can reasonably ask from a local gun shop. There are some disadvantages; I tend to show up when there's no line, but if there's a line, the building is a bit on the small side so given the current madness caused by our esteemed Gavin-Newsome-Backdoor-Buddy, Supreme Chancellor Inslee, and King County's pet psychos in the legislature, it wouldn't be hard to imagine at some point you could end up with a line out the door, though in fairness, I've yet to actually see this happen. There is a coffee place next door, which might help those who are so inclined as the wait can be a while while everyone's transfers are processed, which seem to average 15-25 minutes per transfer depending on how smooth things go. Related, the parking lot is a bit on the small side, and is what I'll term "free form" for at least one decent sized corner of it, so you may need to park at adjacent businesses if things are really slammed, and I would suggest that smaller cars may be preferred, but I've yet to actually have an issue getting a full size truck parked in the lot at least during the times I've been there.

Liam Riley at Full Send Precision Rifles does masterful work and provides excellent service…read more I recently had a problem with an old hunting rifle which required competent gunsmithing. I'm very picky and think it's hard to find a talented machinist and artist that happens to do gunsmithing. I didn't want to endure a gunsmith who tries to be a competent machinist and artist. Liam is the former and knocked it out of the park. I'm an actual customer and NOT getting anything in exchange for my glowing review. It's honest and heartfelt. Liam's friendliness, skills and tools are only exceeded by his honesty, competence, experience, and desire to provide excellent customer service. He patiently listened to my nerdy questions and made excellent suggestions for high-payoff improvements done in a cost-effective manner. Liam is responsive and provides great value for your investment. His pricing is fair. He came in under his estimated cost and finished earlier than promised. I was impressed. Although I hope to never need to be rescued by an awesome gunsmith, I look forward to the opportunity to have him do more work for me. I'm now a raving fan. Thanks, Liam! Keep up the great work. RLTW!

I visited The Marksman Indoor Gun Range on a Sunday, just one month after my trip to Wade's Indoor…read moreGun Range. The parking lot was clean and the building is in good shape, though it could use a refresh. The staff was friendly, and the older gentleman who explained the range rules was engaging and easy to talk with. He took a little longer with me than I expected, but that likely had to do with a couple factors--either way, he was personable. My membership was reasonably priced, and because of my age I received a discount. Once I was in the range area, everything looked very clean and well organized, with clear signage and defined procedures. One difference I noticed versus Wade's: there wasn't a range master on hand in the same way to support guests and help ensure rules were being followed. After that finishing up in the range I headed back to the front in the retail area. I decided I wanted to buy a couple holsters. However, I stood at the counter for about 10 minutes and it became clear I wasn't going to receive service. The surprising part was that I was the only person standing there. At that point, I understand why I didn't get served, but it felt disappointing. And the irony is that I likely would have spent more money since the range desk experience elsewhere was great. No worries--there are plenty of other places to buy holsters. When I exited, I thanked them, but I didn't get a response (or they may not have heard me). Overall, I'm mixed on guest service... Since I'm a member, I'll probably give it another try.

The people are friendly. Lane fees are little lower than what Rain City used to charge($15) and…read moreeven less than what Pivotal (the new location) charges ($18) but there is that one time $15 fee so it will only be cheaper if you go more than once. My only complaints about the range is it's not temperature controlled so if it's hot outside, your hands will sweat...and no one like a slippery firearm. If it's cold, bring gloves. The last time I was there (which was maybe year and a half), their retrievers were in need some TLC. Covers were off and some didn't function at all. Their lane separators need more coverage because I don't like getting pepper by casings from the left lane. There aren't a ton of ranges around the King/Pierce area so you're probably going to go to what is closest. This isn't a bad place but it could use some comfort upgrades.

My tale dates back to the COVID time frame. I'd been trying to locate a Lipsey's special edition…read more With little luck at the counter I contacted Lipsey's directly. Lipsey's said Ruger owed them just 25 of the model I wanted and assured me they'd hold one for me. By the way, as a former FFL dealer and experienced gun shop counter man, I probably now a little more than the average bear. Anyway, when I explained the arrangements I'd made I was told very rudely there was no way what I was telling them could be true. Well it was and the gun was ordered just as I layed out to them. I went to pick up the gun after the prescribed time and the line up was stretched out the door. I explained to an employee monitoring the line and he called the owner out. The owner told me when the gun arrived I'd get a call and when I came in I wouldn't have to wait, just tell the employee who was helping monitoring access that he, the owner, said I could forgo the line and pick up my pistol. When I showed up to pick up my gun and followed the owner's instructions the owner didn't remember what he'd told me. After what I thought a rather rude exchange where the owner loudly told me he'd never said any such thing he'd honor his word even though he didn't give it. He, in effect, was calling me a liar. I've not made a purchase there ever since. Believe me, when Moe ran the show, while the service was often slow, it wasn't as rude. I'd done literally thousands of dollars in business at this store over the years preceeding this experience, never again.
