For Lafayette and West Lafayette members

[jgreiner]

I buy most of my ammo at Rural King on Teal Road.

I bought a box of Federal plain wrapper ammo from rural King, shooting it in my 9mm was like shooting black powder. i couldn't see the target through the smoke. And afterwards, my MP was covered in soot.

+1 Haleys lodge hands down for great customer service and proper employee safe handling.


-1 Four guns for poor employee safety and sometimes outrageous prices on the more popular firearms compared to other shops. Mainly though, beware this store for poor employee safety procedures. Ill never go back.


The rest of the place you mentioned are inbetween and average to me. AB is nice because of the range, but not a big selection of firearms.

If AB had a good selection of firearms they would easily be Lafayette's best gun shop.You figured a good gun range like them would have a better selection.

I disagree. Their prices are not competitive. I have seen several guns in there that I would have liked to purchase but it just didn't make sense at their prices.

That is true. There lack of gun selection makes what they have cost more than it should as well. They need to consider consignments to really pull people in...But then again. Its there and its making money, so maybe they are just happy being a indoor range first and a gun store second.

Four Guns. They always have the best prices.

I like Four Guns, Sallee's Sport Shop & Ramzi's. Sallee's is the best price on powders and primers

 

[Electronrider]

They had a far better selection of guns about 19 months ago. it has really gotten mediocre in the last year.

Stan is no longer with AB. There are some changes that have taken place very recently. Dan is still there, and doing good work on guns

Sallee's is accross the road from Klondike school on Klondike road which is just past the Menards on Northwestern Ave headed north out of West Lafayette.

If that's true I may have go back and see how things have changed.

It is true. the other co-owner is now I believe the owner. He and his son were running the place when I was there on Friday.

I asked about Stan, was told he was no longer affiliated with Applied Ballistics.

really, what was his name, i know almost all of the employees on a personal level and i can vouch for their safety protocol.

Wow! I am really surprised that Stan sold out his share, that was originally his shop. Will have to see if they have made any real changes or not.

The only change I have seen thus far is that a student organization I am a part of negotiated a deal to go for a few hours like we did last year. We got a great deal then and were told initially the same thing would happen. When our guys got there the deal was suddenly changed with no warning. If there were another range in the area my business at AB would have stopped then and there.

It's about an equal drive for me, but Winamac is free to use - if you haven't been there, it's a great place..

I've sold several guns there on consignment.
