This was the ONLY shop locally that had a specific rifle (X95 - Go big or go home, right?) in store for me to finally hold and look at in person, so I was impressed off the bat. Fell in love almost immediately, and I'm very grateful to Miguel for showing me the gun and walking me through the process of buying my first. Went in today to buy ammunition and a spare mag and Brody was a real one for explaining 556 and 223 rounds to me. Dude was supremely kind in answering my questions. That's a common theme at this store, too. Every interaction I've had with staff has been 10/10. As a new gun owner, I've got a mountain of questions, and so far they've had all the answers I needed. Good people, good prices, kickass guns. They've definitely earned a loyal customer.

Emails often went unanswered, and it was extremely difficult to reach anyone by phone. When you're purchasing a high-end firearm, clear and timely communication should be a priority. I placed a very expensive firearm on layaway, but encountered several issues throughout the process just because I paid with different cards to spread the cost. I am currently still waiting for the refund to be processed. I'm not questioning the products they sell, but the customer service and communication fell well below my expectations for a transaction of this value. I sincerely hope they improve their responsiveness and make the process easier for future customers.

It appears they have an issue with high turnover. Every time I go in I see a different person behind the counter. Here are my experiences over the past few months. In May, I used their FFL service after making an online purchase. The retailer contacted me a couple of days after the sale and informed me my order was in limbo because nobody at DCF would get back to her. I had to call DCF to prod them to get back to the online merchant so they could complete the transaction. Then, one morning when I got confirmation the order was delivered to DCF, I called about coming in to fill out the background forms. I got attitude and was told they'd "get to it" - which they didn't. I never got a call, so I just went in the next day. By the time all was said and done, it was an extra WEEK of waiting because of DCF. A month ago I called DCF West to place an order from Sig Sauer and was told the (rather expensive) item I wanted was unavailable. Well, I called Sig and learned otherwise. The item was available to order. They told me to call DCF back and let them know, which I did. When I spoke with DCF regarding their mistake, I was tersely informed that if the item didn't come in by August 1, I'd HAVE to buy it and take whatever requisite classes were mandated by the state. I didn't like the employee's tone of voice, so I went to Scheels and spent my money there. This past weekend, I went to DCF's indoor rifle range to zero two rifles. I've spent time on military, police, and private gun ranges for over 50 years. I know the rules. I get it. One screw up is all it takes. I expect rigid adherence to the laws of firearms, constant monitoring of the firing line, and treat whatever the range master says as the word of the Almighty. So, what's the problem? While zero-ing one of the aforementioned rifles, I shifted the bench out of the way to make an offhand (standing) shot. I was quickly TOLD offhand firing is prohibited on the rifle range. Good enough. Thinking I'd somehow made an error in judgement, I went and looked for anything that would have indicated offhand firing was not allowed. Y'know something like A SIGN. There were none. So, in sum. Their range has rules you have to break to learn about. Their sales department doesn't want to sell you guns, and their FFL is slow and their employees indifferent. Yeah, I'm out.

I had shot this way for the duration of two cease fires (with the other RSO passing by me multiple times) before she screamed at me and it left a very bad taste in my mouth. My shoulders struggled to fit into the sides of the bay and hope you guys will from now on specify you don't want people shooting in the middle of the bay.

Several local firearms shops recommended Hickman for gunsmith services. I relied on what they…read morerecommended, and am extremely disappointed in their work and customer service. I brought in an AR-15 (complete rifle) to get some "minor" work done on the feed ramps. He sent me home with the lower because he "hated doing the paperwork for a serialzed part." The upper receiver, barrel, and (very expensive lightweight) bolt carrier group were 100% brand new, never had a single shot through them. The "polish" job that Earl told me he would do to correct a cartridge feed problem looked as if he may have been training a child to use a dremel tool. The ramps were carved down, each at different angles, not even remotely polished from whatever abrasive die he used, and worse yet, the cartridges do not even feed at all now. The barrel warranty is completely voided by his work. The barrel manufacturer (whom I have purchased many barrels from in the past) was perfectly fine with me taking the barrel to a gunsmith, and even offered to pay for the services since I wasn't completely happy with their product. They saw the pictures and were horrified, and in fact were the ones who made the first comment to the effect that it appeared as if "a kid did the work." The upper receiver was also carved out, so now any barrel I would intend to install in the future would also be required to be "heavily" modified just to get a cartridge to feed. The bullet gets completely stuck in the feedramp, and is left with very deep gouges, and in most cases, is severely pushed back into the casing. When I arrived to pick up my parts, the bead blasted stainless steel barrel was so dirty (black greasy prints), it looked like a car mechanic had been handling it. The $450 JP Precision bolt carrier was crammed into the receiver that had not even been cleaned of the metal shavings. The bolt carrier group now has a whole bunch of "custom" Earl Hickman silver racing stripes etched into the anodizing. I also visited another local gunsmith who said this is the second bad job he has seen from Hickman recently. I called back to discuss how to correct the problem, Earl was more than happy to ask me to bring the whole rifle back to him to continue with more work at an additional cost, because he was certain it had to be a lower receiver or magazine problem. The problem I have with this diagnosis is, the lower receiver was factory matched to 2 upper receivers when I purchased them, and has functioned flawlessly with the other upper and magazines for about 1000 rounds. It was my experience that they are very careless and disrespectful. I wish I could post photos!
