Kurt is outstanding--he really knows his firearms inside and out. As a first‑time pistol buyer, I…read morewanted someone who could walk me through the process with real expertise, and he delivered exactly that. 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.

Be careful buying their Gunbroker listings. In my opinion they have shill bidders that try to run…read moreup their prices. Then when the shill bidder wins the auction, they don't complete the transaction and Tar river immediately relists the item with a higher starting bid. If they are going to be deceptive they should use a shill bidder that doesn't have 10 feedback that are ALL from Tar River Arms...SMFH

Stopped by this gun shop while looking for some ammo…read more At the time I stopped they did not have what I was looking for, but I had a great conversation with Pat. 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 stumbled across this place entirely by accident, but I'm glad I stopped in. Their selection of used rifles and shotguns is pretty extensive, and they've got all manner of shooting stuff to satisfy shooters in all disciplines. If I'm up that way I make a point of stopping by to see what they have, and I rarely come out empty-handed.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY…read more They say in stock and what they really mean is they can order it from the manufacturer the same as you. I waited 5 days for my order status to change to shipped before calling. I was told they didn't actually have it in stock that they were ordering it from the manufacturer that shows it on back order. The price was the same as what the manufacturer was selling it on their web site but in stock. Just be honest and say you don't have it in stock, and that it is on back order from the manufacturer. That as soon as you receive a shipment from them you will notify me so I can pay for it then or try and go find it somewhere else. YOU CAN NOT CHARGE A RESTOCKING FEE ON SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD

So I went over there to the aisle and saw them plain as day no way he could've missed it.

This all happened a few years ago. I gave them another try since I was in the area and when me and my wife went in no one said a a word to us and I was in there for a little while looking for a bow accessories and not a single employee came to see if we needed help.
