Southern Tier LGS?

[Jsmegs77]

Aside from our forum supporter @Bullet Guy, who isn't exactly next door to those of us in the Southern Tier, does anyone have any recommendations for a local gun shop? I don't like big-box stores much, and they're sometimes funny about transfers.

Recommendations in/near the Binghamton area? I tend to like word of mouth reviews and support local businesses over big box or mail order outfits. Transfers, minor gunsmithing, etc. Bonus points if I don't have to drive half an hour to get there, though I won't rule out any particular radius between oh, Bath and Liberty or so. I'm fine with PA shops also...think there's one in Great Bend that used to post on the other site at times.

Not sure how far you are willing to travel but Seneca guns has a nice selection (last time I was there they seemed a little high priced but not extremely) Scott's guns in Horseheads can have some good deals but is small. If you are willing to make a trip to the Rochester area The Firing Pin is nice and has an indoor range, also a new small time ffl is Imperial Firearms, out of Rochester

There is a shop in Bath that I met a forum member at to do a transfer. That's all I know about them

Binghampton is the Southern tier?? And all these years I thought I was in the Southern tier of NY

Yep I'm in Great Bend. Stop by if you are in the Binghamton area.

If you're willing to go to Liberty, I'd have to recommend Fur, Fin, and Feather in Livingston Manor. There is also a shop in Roscoe (Big Dog Arms?) but I don't know anything about them.

Binghamton (West Colesville) is my hometown. Bought my first rifle, Remington 788 - 308 when I was 16 and first handgun, S&W 60, when I was 18 at Dick's on Court Street back when they were a real sporting goods store.

 

[Jsmegs77]

Dick's on Court is still closer to a local gun shop than any of the other locations. I wander in there from time to time. Don't know about their gunsmithing chops though.

McLain is your only local shop I know of.


There's Losies in Oneonta.

Mayhoods in Norwich, that some down route 12.


Really far away is Giffords in Walton.

There's KJS in Bainbridge. He really only does transfers. $20 per.

There is one in Montrose. About 5-6 in Scranton.

Pm me if you are interested.

Southern Tier Sportsman above the Harley shop on Upper Front St. I just had 2 guns transferred from PSA and I'm very happy. They have a good selection for a small shop. Mayhood's in Norwich is great, but it's a bit of a drive from Binghamton.

He's been there a couple years. I've been there a few times and bought some small parts from him and he has some good specials every so often on uppers. Good people there. With all the anti-gun BS going around I love that they chose to show his shop, that specializes in ARs That does the better part of his business.

There's Lock and Load in owego (they usually have a pretty nice selection) also in the owego area is Ben's gun shop. I've heard theres a new shop out in Nichols but I cant remember the name. Will update once I find it. You've also got all star pawn in Vestal if you like to haggle or just need a quick transfer done. If you want to drive to sayre theres one there and then up in arms a bit further south.

I've only been to lock and load once. I'll have to try bens someday.

Ben's only has a few firearms, but can get stuff in on request. His main work is gunsmithing/alterations or ammunition sales.
