Very knowledgeable, especially about older firearms. Relative to the quality of their service the price was reasonable thank you for your good work. read more

They were helpful. But wouldn't work on my mossberg 590 shockwave because of politics..... interesting because the gun is legal in Illinois but quote on quote of another president gets elected they might banned my gun and they didn't feel comfortable opening the books to the government hypothetically. But hey at least they were nice. read more

They will get it done for you. But for the hassle, I recommend just going somewhere else. The dude that works afternoons is a grumpy fella. If you need a transfer save your energy/money and find somewhere else read more

Simply totally awesome! No better full service firearms retailer ANYWHERE as far as I am concerned, and I've dealt with quite a few of them throughout Chicagoland. The pros at The Gun Doctor are thoroughly knowledgeable, courteous, and honest: what more can a customer ask for? Thank you for your superb service, Mandi and Warren!! Ken C. read more

Mandi was fantastic to work with and truly a pleasure to speak to. She went out of her way to update me. The store is filled with some fine quality pieces and I imagine they do quality gunsmithing too. I'll be going back for transfers and work, maybe a purchase here or there. Forget the bigger commercial stores, where all they want is to sell you something and leave. The Gun Doctor is a small family owned outfit that takes pride in their work and service. Customer care and intimacy is how they shine. read more

The gentleman there had so much knowledge about the guns He was patient while I asked a whole lot of questions. read more

They told me that I could replace a part, myself, in order to save some money rather than to have them do it. That kind of honesty and professionalism is very rare these days--and much appreciated. They have now earned all of my future business. Give them a try when you need something. read more

The lady was so nice and certain about my issue. I like this place. It's very professional.

Trying to use these people for a FFL transfer is a joke. They refuse to send a copy of the FFL to the person selling the gun so they can provide it to their dealer, despite the law requiring them to do so within 24 hours of written request. Then after having their FFL contact them directly they wouldn't send a copy to him until he sent his first. how stupid is that? playing chicken with licenses. These people are a joke! read more

Find another gunsmith, this place is too busy & short staffed to keep up with the work they claim to have. They had my firearms for over 12 weeks to perform grip replacement, inspection, strip & clean as the guns haven been checked/fired in years. When I called to get an update I was told that my claim tickets were so old that they weren't even on the "to do" worksheet. I emailed them to have my firearms ready for pickup, only then I got told the firearms were inspected back in January but nothing done for another 8 weeks, makes no sense. Took my firearms to another shop for the same request & got them back in less than 2 weeks. Save your time & aggravation & go elsewhere read more

This review is based on my most recent experience as an enrolled student of The Gun Doctor's NRA Basic Pistol and Illinois Concealed Carry License course. First and foremost it is your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We protect ourselves, family and loved ones through gun safety and professional training. Since the early 70's and to this day, The Gun Doctor is family-owned and operated as a full service firearms dealer. Also providing in house gunsmithing services such as repair, restoration, refinishing and custom fabrications. When I happen to stumble upon The Gun Doctor's facebook post that they were now offering course training and certificates for the Illinois Concealed Carry I immediately signed up. For the last decade I have been actively working in parts of Chicago's southside neighborhoods that have been featured on the news for shootings and gang violence. Rather then being a statistic I felt as an educated individual to practice my Second Amendment Right with the help of professional instructors and course training via The Gun Doctor. Let me say this first. I have been to many other firearm shops and The Gun Doctor is my favorite. For those who are well invested in this hobby I assure you The Gun Doctor has treated me with kindness and respect as a beginner to this industry. The course instructors (Mike & Joe) are family guys just like anyone else with a massive amount of knowledge. I haven't set foot in a classroom setting since my college days and the 16 hours flew by quickly. The course is NOT about sitting down taking notes while the instructors lecture. They give real life situations backed up by a powerpoint presentation. My favorite part of the course was the hands on questions and group interactions with my fellow classmates. The course atmosphere was family oriented with students ranging from both male and female ages roughly 30 years to 70 years old. The course training broken up into 2 day classes included in the range firing pistols, lectures, safety and body mechanics while carrying. My fellow classmates and I were a real team showing comradery. This was an eye-opening experience into what I imagine soldiers develop in the military with one another. Upon completion of the course we graduated with our NRA Basic Pistol and Conceal Carry Training certificate. I want everyone to understand that Gun Safety is everyones business and proper use is only developed through continued education. read more

Great customer service, and quality workmanship. I was able to speak directly to the gunsmith about my stippling needs. The work is very detailed and fine. The turn around time was faster than the online options and more cost effective. read more

See all

Staffers Mandi and Bob are friendly and very knowledgeable. The Doctor keeps customers up to date with their service and orders. I am left with good vibes after I visit. I encourage local owners and buyers to visit the shop for FFL transfers, repairs and supply needs. read more

Their good but... someone heavily smokes cigarettes in the store and it's awful maybe 20yrs ago that was expected but in todays standards it's not my gun and case stinks and not to mention the smoke damage to customers property not good. Please get with the times and smoke outside! read more

I gave it three stars just because I've only been there twice. The people there seem to be very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and in my case, very patient with answering all my questions. The other customers in this place were also friendly and were return customers who were very happy with the service. So far, so good!!! read more

The Gun Doctor - The Gun Doctor - showroom - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Roselle, Illinois

Great service. I have worked with them on 2 separate instances. 1) firearm repair. They repaired a firearm that another gunsmith was not able to repair. The gun doctor repaired in a week. The other gunsmith took 2 months to return a broken gun. 2) firearm transfer. The firearm was purchased online and delivered here for transfer. The process was efficient and painless. Highly recommend. read more

Been going here for years. Great people never an issue with anything they have done for me! You need gunsmith service never hesitate to go here! read more

Took my shotgun in in April. Was told it could take 6-8 weeks. No problem hunting season was a ways off. Six months later nothing done. Took it to another shop fixed in two days. read more

I have bought new, used, trained and had expert repairs done. And most of all, over the last couple of years, I have made friends. If you are looking to have your hand held or be coddled. You probably, shouldn't have a gun, anyway! Just Saying.. read more

People in there are nice, friendly and very fair pricing. Bought a 9mm through guns .com and had it shipped to them and they were extremely efficient, not to mention their pricing was 1/3 the cost of Gat Guns. I would highly recommend them if your looking to have a gun shipped there and even have some good conversation while your filling out the paperwork. read more

These people are very professional and helpful kind and patient many of these things are out of there hands but they do there best to help and guide read more

Extremely helpful. I had a wwII Japanese rifle they were able to do the repair quickly and professionally. Great group.

I used the Gun Doctor to repair an old shotgun. They did a great job of it and it has never failed me since. This was many years ago when they were on Maple street. Nice people to deal with and reasonable prices. read more

I had a great experience with the Gun Doctor. I had a very old shotgun that I had dissassembled to remove a stuck snap cap shotgun shell. It was old enough to have screws and internal parts that made it impossible for me to put it back together properly. They cleaned it and fixed it up for me at a fair price. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that it took 2.5 weeks to make the repair. They warned me ahead of time that it would take that long so no big deal. I heard other people complain on Yelp that they take a long time and that seems to be true, but they do a really good job and I think they are just backed up with all the business they have. read more

I highly recommend this place. It's a little shop tucked away, but it's definitely a hidden gem. Mike helped me out and he was awesome. He answered my questions and helped me get what I was looking for. All of the staff there are great. Super friendly and helpful. I will for sure be coming back!! read more

I put money down on an AR.15 Mandy told me because it was a black gun/ rifle I couldn't put it on lay away for 30 days like every other gun shop in IL. I had to pay it off with in 2 weeks. Since this happened I went & bought other guns at other dealers. They were more than happy with me buying & they didn't care about me picking up my order in 30 days. read more

I always get great service at the Gun Doctor. Whether I am at home or work I drive an hour to do business with Michael Pompilio and the staff at The Gun Doctor. Why? because they know what they are doing and deliver great service. Thanks for my new DP12 its badass read more

Placed an on line order for my new pistol and chose to pick it up at Gun Doctor. It's close to where I work and I'd rather do business with a local guy than with a huge chain store. The price was great and the service was fine. There was a tiny blemish on my new hand gun and they pointed it out to me, which tells me that they are honest and not trying to hide anything from me or sneak anything past me. I took the gun, tiny blemish and all. The nice guys who work there are quick to chat and share info and that's just fine by me. Cool gunsmith shop vibe to the place, slightly older look to it and it smells like Hoppes #9 in there. Sweet. I'll be back. read more

I took my Model 1911 .45ACP to the Gun Doctor to have new sites installed... I had Micro Target sights installed on it years ago and I have had some issues with the front sight coming off, which it did again when I was out shooting a few weeks back. They quoted me a price for fiber optic sights and told me 2-3 weeks as they were backed up... "Fine, no problems" I said... After 3 weeks I called and a young lady told me: "it was on the bench"... "Fine, I 'll call back next week" I said, figuring it would be done by then... I called a week later and after holding for a few minutes I was speaking to the gunsmith, who told me that the sights that the young lady had picked out for my .45 would not fit... "Fine I said" being somewhat perturbed that it took 4 weeks for them to tell me that, "lets put on some other sights" I said, "maybe the ones with the white dots on them"... The gunsmith told me reluctantly that he would have to investigate it and get back to me... I had to ask all the questions even though he knows more about the job than I do - It seemed like he was very disinterested in doing this job... Maybe it wasn't enough money, or a large enough job, or he didn't want to fool with it - I'll never know... "Ok fine" I said... After another week went buy and I had not heard word one from either the gunsmith or the owner, I went over to the The Gun Doctor and picked up my .45 and took it somewhere else... Overall, extremely poor service and a total lack of follow up - I'll never go back!!! read more

Update to the last review... After retrieving my shotgun from "the gun dr." I took it to a guy in elmwood park. I personally ordered the "mystery part" on the internet and recieved it in less than 5 days. The gunsmith in elmwood park fixed it in a day!!! Oh, and he also replaced a couple of screws that "the gun doctor" forgot to put back after taking my shotgun apart, class... Keep up the good work gun dr. Steer clear of this shop!!! read more

I've done a few transactions with them over the years. There's a sign on the register about them charging a $25 fee for "rude customers". Whether it's tongue in cheek or serious, it's just not good service. How can someone expect good service from a place with that attitude. Gun stores are VERY intimidating places. They don't need to roll out a red carpet and give you a back massage when you walk in, but they also should have a level of welcoming. Its 2013. People are rude, obnoxious a-holes. There's no way to escape it. Customers expect more from businesses. Gun Doctor needs to get on board with the times and adapt to the way things are. Customer service is the cornerstone of any business. Their selection is too small to have an elitist attitude. The sign needs to come down, and management needs to accept the fact that they are not immune to rude customers, especially when people are spending $500-1000 a pop. read more

The negative reviews left for The Gun Doctor have made me infinitely sad. Those opinions simply discribe how personal challenges in the lives of some reviewers spill out and burn the innocent! In 2015 alone, I have made two substantial purchases at this store, and had nothing but certifiably pure satisfaction! This is NOT Cabela's! Despite the size, these guys will give you the most personalized service you had ever dreamt about! Besides, they employ and treasure the best Gunsmith in Illinois! The Very Best! Stick with them , and they will become your "Gun Family" for life! I also express my sincerest gratitude to Mandi, the Owner of The Gun Doctor for the utmost professionalism and her incredible smile! 10 stars! Bravo! read more

I have been a Gun Doctor customer for about 5 years. They have accepted shipped weapons for me as an FFL, I bought 3 guns, and they have repaired my shotgun. I am very pleased with their service. Their FFL fees are reasonable, and their in-store service is professional and polite. The most important thing to me is the gun smith service. Randy is a craftsman. He restored my Browning A5 shotgun that has been in my family for a hundred years. It was badly rusted and the stock was cracked. Randy restored that gun into a beautiful near-perfect piece of art. I was very impressed. It looks and shoots as if were new. I'm a Gun Doctor fan. read more

the service is outstanding they are very professional i felt like i was buying a gun from family, plus gunsmith on premises i will shop there again read more

Nice gun store and friendly and knowledgeable staffs.Flexible in their pricing on a used guns. I bought a used firearm and transaction went smoothly. I highly recommend this place. Jose.E read more

I figured since I wrote about why I didn't get my gun from Gat guns I should explain why I got my gun from the Gun Doctor. I called over the phone after my experience with Gat though they did not have the gun I was originally looking for the woman over the phone was very helpful and gave me a few suggestions based on what I was looking for. I came in where I talked to a younger gentleman who was equally as helpful he walked me through the process and even got my friend to buy a gun as well we were both satisfied and I'm sure we will be repeat customers. read more

When I walk into this store I am immediately greeted by name. It's a cheers environment that always makes me feel comfortable when purchasing a new gun. I have shopped around on transfer fees and the Dr is competitive if not cheaper than all of the others. They also don't deny in stock transfers like Art2 and GAT. For the bleacher seats that's if they can stock the gun they won't let you transfer it in. Though I wish they had a range to test guns out I'd much rather be treated with respect than rely on the convenience of other shops. read more

I brought in a Remington 7400 back in June of 2011 to have my disconnector replaced. Calling numerous times about the repair, always getting told Remington set the wrong part. Finally went in June 30 2012 and got my rifle out of there, with the excuse it's a throw away rifle. Called another local gunsmith and he advised me to go on line and order the parts myself (Also helped on locating and getting the right parts needed) and bring it in for a quicker turn around. I ordered the parts on June 30, and received them on July 6 2012. Just brought the rifle in today July 7 2012, and he figures with his back up about 3 weeks. Took me a week to get the right parts, but my rifle sat here for 1 year, and missed a hunting season without it. Won't be going back to this place any time soon. read more

This used to be a great place when the old man ran it in Roselle. I've gotten some bad advice from the new staff (his kids?). I don't trust these folks. read more

After my fourth transaction with this shop, I am done. I will not give it a one star rating because my experience was not bad enough to warrant that. First time there I dropped off a gun for cycling issues. When I dropped it off I was told that they would have it checked out and give me a call in about two weeks with an update. After three weeks I called in and was told that the gun is taken apart but they do not know what is wrong with it yet and to call back in another week. I was not upset at this, it's understandable. I called again in a week like I was told to, and this time was told that the gunsmith is still working on it and does not know what is wrong. I asked to speak with him and was told to call back tomorrow because he is not here. The next day I called again this time the gunsmith tells me that the gun is done and ready to be picked up. When I asked what he found wrong with it he said he didn't know. I asked how much I owed for the mystery repair and he just asked if $130 sounded ok? Whatever, it's done, and he did a great job! I still do not know what was wrong to begin with. The next two times in were for purchasing two new guns and one used gun. The owner mocked my preference in handgun manufacturer(S&W) and acted like she was happy to take money from me even though I was wasting it (over $1000 on that one gun). When I asked for her advice the reply had nothing to do with functions or features of the guns, just that she likes another brand better. I contacted them about another gun that was over a thousand dollars, that I was not in a hurry to buy to get some input on it. I supplied them with the make, model, model #, physical description of the gun, and a direct link to the website. They took over two weeks to respond with "what model was it you were looking for?" I resent all of the information again regarding the gun in question and got a response within hours. The response was that they could order it for me, and they would have to get back to me with the details. Another week goes by and I get a link to a listing on gunbroker for a completely different model asking if that was the one I wanted. Not the worst business I have ever dealt with, but I will definitely never go back. read more
