Awesome experience…read more I used Eastern as an FFL to pick up a handgun I bought online. Easy-peasy and reasonable transfer fee. We and my wife both took the CCW class here and had an awesome experience. Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I'd anticipated a very long boring weekend class but the instructors were fun and engaging. Nick, Tyler and Mellisa were awesome.

Very unprofessional and untrustworthy experience. TK Defense transferred firearms to Eastern Armory…read moreso I could legally take possession of them. Eastern Armory then offered $500 total for three high-value firearms and repeatedly tried to buy the .300 Blackout AR pistol after I declined. Less than an hour later, they claimed they were "not comfortable" completing the transfer and turned all firearms over to Montgomery County Police and State Police without providing clear reasoning or documentation. I received conflicting information, poor follow-up, and no real assistance in resolving what happened. Be very cautious dealing with this business. I do not trust this place and would advise others to be very cautious. Don't Recommend! REPLY TO NICK-BUSINESS OWNER-12/14/2025 Thank you, Nick, for responding. I appreciate the responsibility you have as an FFL to ensure lawful and safe transfers, and I understand the need for caution. However, several important clarifications should have been communicated to me clearly and directly at the time, rather than after the fact. The "prohibited person" you reference is my brother, which should have been obvious, as we share the same last name. TK Defense was fully aware of this as well. When I made statements such as "let me check with my brother," "my brother will come with me," or "my brother will drive me to the store," I was not referring to that brother. I have more than one brother. The brother I was referring to also holds a valid Maryland HQL (Nick, call me if you need to verify this), is knowledgeable about those firearms, and was simply someone I was consulting with and who would have accompanied me. Because the transaction was halted before I ever arrived, any assumption that I intended to bring a prohibited person into the transfer process is speculative and unverified. I understand precaution; however, precaution should be grounded in facts, not assumptions. Additionally, I want to note that a woman consulting with a male about firearms does not equate to a straw purchase or transfer. Given the increasing number of African American women lawfully engaging in firearm ownership, it is important that lawful behavior not be mischaracterized simply because guidance or assistance is sought. I also want to add that I figured out your speculation, as someone from the store called me more than 10 times within a single hour. During the first call, based on saying the word "items", he stated, "I figure you are around people and can not talk". That same individual acknowledged this, yet called nine additional times in a row. He was acting like I sat around doing straw purchase/transfer for others as a full-time job, as if I didn't have a full-time job.

I scheduled an appointment online for 2pm this afternoon. My experience was AMAZING!…read more This is the first time I was in your store. I was greeted by your staff in a timely manner. I filled out the check-in sheet which was also a professional element to my experience. The BEST part of my experience was working with Laura. She was professional and very accommodating. She shared that she has only been working there for 7 months. Well, let me tell you, i would have lost money if I made a bet of her tenure at the store. She is fantastic!

The owner Matt did the tune up himself efficiently while I watched, and provided excellent pointers on seating position, explained what the issue were with the bike etc. The training wheel installation was smooth, even though an extra part was required, he ordered the part, didn't price gouge and reached out to me via email as soon as the part arrived and was ready for installation. Dropped off the bike and work was done the next day. Another email was sent to let me know me know the work was done. Definitely would recommend Mark and Joe to my friends if they need bicycle repairs done in a quick and a timely fashion. No complaints, I would just say for some customers they would prefer a phone call instead of an email to let them know the work is done, but I prefer the latter so no complaints on that point.

I have been hunting and fishing my entire life, and it is always nice when you can shop for gear from a local establishment. Buy local as often as possible! The folks at South Carroll Sporting Goods had exactly what I was looking for, and for an unbeatable price! Their little shop does not look like much on the outside, but the atmosphere on the inside rocked! The folks in the front room made you feel welcomed and service was prompt. At the end of the sale I was given a hearty thank you and a firm handshake. You never get that personal touch at the "Big Box" stores! These guys knew their products, were true professionals when dealing with difficult customers (who changed their minds mid-transaction), and just let you know they cared about you as a person and not just as a customer! To me that was huge. That was my selling point. I look forward to supporting this local business for years to come!

As of today December 31,2020, the gun has not been to my FFL and no one has returned my calls. I have called every day for the last week and a half. This is not good business! When you accept money from someone you should at least follow through with the purchase for customer satisfaction. I guess customer satisfaction isn't important to this company?

They must have been burnt so many times that they have every safe guard set to protect themselves. The young lady working the day I went to pick up my items was very to the point. I didn't sell any of my items in 3 months which was fine (18 out of 20 items were clothing items new with tags). I was in there for about an hour an a half looking for my unsold items after the consignment period ended. I found 19 out of 20. I gave up on the last item. I was still planning to try to sell another group/type of items. However, after going to retrieve my unsold items, and feeling unvalued as a consignee, I have decided not to sell there again.

Went to check out their guitar gear. I like to support local music shops and hadn't been to this…read moreone before today. Most of their guitar stock is focused on entry level models rather than high trim models. On the plus side they had a good selection of nice Orange amps and carried a line of affordable pedals, by outlaw effects, that I've never seen elsewhere. The two young store employees were nice and friendly. On the negative side, I was really turned off by the store owner and didnt want to do business with him as a result. He approached me while I was checking out a Jaguar guitar and I asked him a few questions about how the controls on the guitar worked (because they were really different) and what the B stock label meant and how that could affect resale down the road if I decided to sell it. His conversational tone and somewhat combative statements were really off putting. The guitar was a pretty good deal but I really didn't want to do business with a guy like him. Shopping for guitars should be a fun experience, but this was just an upsetting one. This visit made me appreciate Guitar Center a lot more because they treat customers (including kids) so well there and don't make you feel bad asking questions about guitars or taking your time checking out gear.
