I just wanted to throw a bone out to the newest (and only) gun shop in my little home town: Rayco Armory, 177 South Center Street, Merchantville, NJ 08109, (856)663-1300 - behind the former location of Nando's Pizzeria.

 

My wife, daughter, and I stopped in a few days ago and met Ray and Ernie. Both of them were very warm and friendly and did not have any "gun counter attitude". I definitely plan on making all of my future purchases through them. They offer reasonable FFL transfers, gun sales/orders, ammo, accessories - all of the stuff you would expect from a small and local gun shop. But best of all - none of it comes with any attitude and they are more than friendly to strike up a conversation and let you hang out there and talk guns, politics, etc. for a while. Those of you who live in areas that have gun shops may not understand my excitement, but when the closest place (other than Dick's) is 25-30 minutes away and this guy is literally within walking distance, this is huge!

Having been raised in Merchantville when I was a wee tike (I have fond memories of Philly Fruit and Meats and Aunt Charlotte's), and unsuccesfully trying to move there last year, I am excited to see this shop open. I live in CH so it may become my local shop realy quick. I am going to try to stop there this week.

When I stopped in on Friday most of his shelves were empty, but he did say they're building stock. The problem is that as he gets stuff in, it's selling so fast that he can't even keep anything on the shelves right now. He literally just opened up, so he'll probably have much more inventory within the month, if anything can stick around long enough to get under the counter. We would have stayed longer and checked it out more, but my 10-mo-old daughter was cranky, tired, and hungry so it was really just a "hi, great to see you're here and good luck" type of visit.

 

alowerlevel, I'm only a few blocks away, too - send me a msg and maybe we'll meet up there some day.

I have dealt with him once, when he was in the process of moving from his old location. He is SUPER helpful and courteous-- he will go out of his way to make sure you are satisfied. His selection was scarce at the time due to the move, but I will be sure to check out the new location.

I ordered a Ruger Sr9C from Gary at Rayco. He gave me a very fair price. I picked it up today and I already feel like these guys are family. Most gun shops in the area, you get looked down on like they are sitting up on there high horse. Stock is still a little low but they can order anything you want. I found my gun shop.

A friend went in and talked to Gary over the weekend. (Same last name as Ray, so I'm assuming Gary is Ray's brother). He said Gary was extremely enthusiastic and friendly and told him he could have anything ordered and delivered in 2 days. I seriously can't wait until I save up enough to buy another because now I know who I'll buy from!

Ray and Gary are great guys. I just ordered three 10/22's from them and as stated above, they are VERY fair with pricing and great guys to deal with. I hope they stick around, I know I'll sure be helping them as much as I can with my monthly democrat contribution.... LOL

      Radios...?

      By Buck Russell · Posted

      If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.

      Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)

      By GRIZ · Posted

      Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
