She and I talked about the current situation involving the shortage of both guns and ammunition. The store had a large selection of both handguns and long guns but I was not shopping for either of those at the time. I will return and am happy I found this place as the world moves forward.

I drove three hours to his shop, and it was absolutely worth the trip. He took the time to answer every question, explain the differences between models, and make sure I left with the right fit for me. The whole experience was professional, friendly, and confidence‑building. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Finding a gun smith in the area to do this work was difficult. After reading other reviews on Tar River Arms, I decided to try them. I walked in on a Saturday afternoon and they assured me that they had the experience to do the replacement and could do it while I waited. They did as promised and in a short period of time. I will return to Tar River Arms for similar services and if and when I am in the market for a new firearm.

She provided great service and arranged for the gun to be transferred from a different location. When we returned on a different day for pick up, the guy in front refused to make the sale and claimed that, since we were Maryland residents, he could not sale the gun to us. My husband was in disbelief and the guy claimed that this was the law since 1935. This was clearly not the case and was either ignorance, an obvious bias against us, or both. He did not offer to coordinate the shipping/transport of the handgun to Maryland for pick up or any other lawful alternative. We didn't argue or push back because we've never been interested in spending money where our money isn't wanted.

This place has NEVER been fully staffed; or I should say; NEVER been staffed adequately. At the…read moremost, not counting holidays, I've only witnessed 3 employees at once here. I once entered the store, saw no one by the register as I came in, browsed firearms section, ammunition, disc golf, team sports, shoes, and exercise equipment areas (all along the outside perimeter of the store giving access to center of the store) and took about an hour doing so. I DID NOT SEE AN EMPLOYEE AT ALL!! As I left, still no one by the register. The prices are usually higher than most places, the selection is usually thin and not varied, customer service is a big fat ZERO. I did go the other day to look at some 1911's and only took me 30 minutes standing in that area to finally get someone to notice me. Before that trip, I went to buy ammo and after waiting 35 minutes and looking at guns through the glass, I finally called the store and said I was in guns and needed help. Only took another 10 minutes to get someone to me. Yes, I waited. I despise Wally World and will not give my money to them unless I absolutely HAVE TO. I thought it was just this Dunham's in Roanoke Rapids. But I've had similar "experiences" in the Rocky Mount, NC store. Atrocious business model if this is how they run the stores. No wonder the employee turnover rate here is so high for them. I will be returning later to update my review. But I have little hope for them to score better.
