![]() ![]() ![]() | Fort Liberty in Avon I picked up a Glock 30 at Fort Liberty in Avon, today. They gave me a good price and I had it in lay-away. Mike, one of the owners, is a qualified Glock gunsmith and offered to change the trigger assembly out for one with a 3.5# pull for a very reasonable price. I needed a part for the rear sight on a S&W 19 and they helped me find what I needed on-line, so I could order it myself. I have bought several guns here and have always received excellent service and a fair price. ![]() |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Great folks. I've know Mike for.....oh about 25 years now. Very honest people. You won't find people like this at many shops.

| Padawan Plinker ![]() | I'm happy to see that the reputation of Fort Liberty is moving in the right direction. I should probably drop in, since I live about three miles from the store.

![]() | Nice store. Friendly staff. Good location. Nice accessory stock. Sparce handgun gun selecion still, but nicer quality. I only discovered one downfall...trades. Blue Book is used, but doesn't take into market value and Mike's firearm's grading system allows to his advantage. For example, if an item is 95% it is valued at 80%. Being in the business since 1990 myself (FFL Dealer) and now a private collector, I understand how the trade gig works. However, you can use Retail to Retail or Wholesale to Wholesale standard, but you can't expect to get a following asking retail and below fair market value for trades. I've been in the store several times and will continue to go back "looking for that deal", but will not offer trades. PSP has my business, if I want to trade. All that being said, this store should fair well since it has a great atmosphere and appears to be getting a following. Recommended. I hope this was objective and you take into account that this is only one opinion.

![]() ![]() ![]() | +1 I personnally enjoy the staff and service that my whole family gets there. It is the only "gun shop" that my wife will walk into by herself. (but she has limited experiences with the local shops). They made her feel welcome and comfortable. Both are very important to her as a shopper.

![]() | Really good place to be. Used to shop alot on Kentucky Ave. but not any more I only go to one of 2 places. Fort Liberty in Avon or Plainfield Shooting Supply. I actually just picked up a little Bersa thunder 380 @ Fort Liberty the other day and like it alot. Anyway definitely a great place to shop. Decent selection, and fair prices. great prices on accessories as well. Last edited by Packin-Heat; 05-04-2009 at 14:58. |
