    Note missing rubber picatinny rail hand guard, Rockset on the picatinny rail, Fast-Attach collar not at 6 o'clock position.
    Jack S.

    Generally friendly guys, I've never had a problem with this shop. I've purchased a few firearms from them without any problem, and have been generally satisfied with their service and happy with their convenient location. In times past when I've come in to find AR parts or accessories, their selection was lacking and ultimately I was able to find what I was looking for elsewhere, but I knew they had an in-house gunsmith and needed a fairly quick muzzle device installation - a Surefire Warcomp for a Noveske short barreled AR upper. A single star hasn't been earned, but Yelp won't let me post without at least a 1 star selection. Had the gunsmith not been dishonest with me, I'd have at least given them 3 of 5 stars, earned for friendliness and timeliness, and an ignorant installation. A 4 or 5 out of 5 would have been earned for an educated, proper muzzle device installation, not lost a part of the rubber picatinny rail hand guard, not gotten Rockset on my picatinny rail, and MOSTLY not lied about the tool being a one-time-use only tool so that they could steal/keep it, cover up that it was lost, or whatever the situation was that kept him from returning my tool I provided to him for the installation. Upon asking for the tool after I paid for the service, I was informed that it was a "one-time-only" use tool and that it was "chewed up and garbage". After seeing that the muzzle device was not properly centered and being told that the tool was trashed, it became apparent to me that arguing over or challenging the lie would be useless, that I wasn't going to trust that the job was done properly if I had requested the gunsmith to fix it and therefore I left to find another armorer. Anything more would have seemed prideful or arrogant coming from me inside their shop which is inappropriate conduct on my behalf. So I learned, and I won't be back. Normally, even with all the problems in quality of workmanship, I'd not leave any review, if it couldn't be a good review - maybe someone was having a bad day, honest mistakes happen. But a gunsmith - the actual professional I'm entrusting my firearm with on which to perform professional work - was dishonest. This is intolerable - especially in a service industry. Even if the tool was trashed, he should have offered to give it back to me in such condition and not assume that throwing it away would be acceptable. His actions cause me to think that he lied and stole from a customer. A quick YouTube search on his phone that I've seen him use behind his gunsmithing desk would have brought him to a 4:58 video by Surefire on the proper installation of said device. It can be seen here youtube. com/watch?v=CjA9-VbmrXA&t=115s Surefire does not sell throw-away, one-time-use tools with the Warcomp muzzle device. The Warcomp muzzle device is designed specifically to be oriented in a manner to maximize muzzle-rise and reduce muzzle-flash. The orientation in which the gunsmith installed the device would have shots compensating up and left for each shot. The Surefire patented Fast-Attach collar should be installed at 6 o'clock dead-center, not at the 7 or 8 o'clock position. This experience has left me questioning whether or not the device was torqued to the required 30 ft/lbs specs (if a torque wrench was even used), whether the shims were properly installed, if the Rockset was properly applied (a common item for misapplication), whether the muzzle threads and comp threads were properly cleaned beforehand, or if the firearm would even be safe to fire at this point. I left their shop feeling taken advantage of by a gunsmith who, over a tool worth a couple of dollars, has permanently lost my business and will forever be remembered for the lies he fed to me when others ask about my opinion of local gun shops/gunsmiths. I'm truly disappointed as I've enjoyed going to that shop for the past couple years. Dishonesty is a major violation of trust for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjA9-VbmrXA&t=115s

    Awesome place with everything you could want in a gun store! The store is staff with experts that can guide in all youth decisions! PS. The also have a nice selection of goat guns! (mini model guns)

    Thanks Strapt Armory

    Can't recommend Strapt Armory enough. I am Ex Military, and over the holiday, our son introduced us to Charlie and his crew. Great little shop. Very knowledge and extremely helpful. We purchased my wife her very first gun. She has been very apprehensive about this. They answered all her questions, and we're incredibly patient. We also purchase our son a new gun and loaded up on ammo. Charlie and his crew helped make our holiday with family that much better. They have a customer for life. Thanks, Strapt Amory.

    Charlie was amazing! I went to Strapt to build my first AR. Charlie and the guys helped me pick out all the right parts for my build. Over the course of 6 months I got all my pieces together and Charlie told me to come back and build it in the shop! Of course I listened and thank god because I didn't know what I was doing. Charlie and the guys helped me assemble the entire rifle from start to finish. They were very patient with me and made sure everything was done right. I wanted iron sights but they didn't have any at the time so Charlie pulled a set off of his own weapon and installed them on mine! What a stand up guy! I left with the firearm I'd been dreaming of! I'll start my next one shortly and I know Charlie and the guys will be there to help! Thank you Charlie

    I love this place! I used to be an REI loyalists but lately my activities are getting much more…read moretechnical and REI doesn't seem to be able to supply all the gear I need. I came here a few days ago looking for vertical ascend gear out of caves. I was greeted by Jason and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. I needed very specific gear, and Jason was very patient with me and showed me where I could find sit harnesses, chest harness, chest ascender, hand ascende, foot loops, etc. I didn't find exactly what I needed but got a good idea on the things I need to build a personalized vertical gear set for myself. And of course, while I was looking for cave gear, I wandered around looking at all the fabulous gear they have, I was like a kid in a candy store. I could spend hours in here. I started looking at hydration packs as I need to replace mine and found a very nice military edition and will come back to purchase this soon. I also saw plenty of Petzl bags, and very tempted to purchase another. They also carry so much Petzl gear, you will be in heaven here. Also, some great hiking shoes and some sleek, but we'll performing water shoes. I then wandered into kayaks and Jason even showed me the Padillac they have! I've gotten into paddleboarding and kayaking for the summer and now want one of each! This place rents them and sells them. I then went to check out some wetsuit gear, and they have a really nice selection of wetsuits, gloves, booties, etc. I really love this place and it is definitely gonna bankrupt me, but so worth it. High quality gear, more extensive selection than REI and the staff here know what they are talking about. If you need something specialized, this is the place for you. I'll be back here soon!

    This place is located on the NE corner of 32nd St and Thomas Rd…read more My son was looking for hiking gear for snow in Colorado. We went to REI and they did not have the gear so they sent us here. They do have equipment for rentals but a limited supply so call ahead to ask. They also recommended he try in Colorado where he was going for rentals which worked out. People were very helpful.

I trusted Brices diagnosis and parts were in stock. They installed a Mod 1 Goss outdoors kit. They repaired it and I never missed a day of fishing.

Because it was extremely hot outside, I went inside to cool off while hubby handled things with the employee. After he unloaded everything at the back of the store, the employee came over and said "thanks for your trouble" and handed me a $20 bill. I have consigned clothing, designer handbags, and sold books, sporting goods and household items to different businesses so I completely understand that businesses need to make a profit. I also know used items are worth much less than retail, but $20 for that entire load felt incredibly insulting and completely unreasonable given the amount and condition of the gear. It just did not sit right with me. I went back inside and asked for our things back. We loaded everything back into the truck and brought it back home. I decided I would much rather donate it all to a nonprofit where I know the items will actually help someone which will make me feel so good rather than accept $20 for everything. I would have actually preferred getting no offer at all. I'm sure this works for some people but based on my personal experience, cannot recommend selling here expecting a remotely fair offer.
