+1 for Darryl's Gun Shop

[Blueskybob 12]

Went this week to Cabellas looking for supplies and they did not have what I needed and the rep was more interested in hawking 6 shooters then helping me, (to be fair they did have a good supply of powder and .50 rifle stuff)

 

Upon a referral, I took a side trip to Darryl's and was not dissapointed!

 

They had all I needed and more and were very helpful.

 

134 Canaan Grove Rd, Newmanstown, PA 17073 717-949-3157

 

If you use your GPS, do not be startled if you end up looking at a field.

Just head up the road to the first house on the left.

There will be a side road with a sign on it.

Darryl's is the building behind the house.

 

Oh, and bring biscuits for the dog on the counter!

So what did you get? What do they specialize in? More info please! Have you ever been to Dixon's and how do the two compare?

Never been to Dixon's so no way to compare.

I had just picked up a .44 BP and wanted to get the basics.

Powder, balls, ball ram starter, nipple wrench, butter etc.

 

Don't know what they specialize in, but in looking at the shelves, I think they are geared for local hunters.

 

They had what I needed when Cabellas had nothing in .44

Real black powder? How much are they getting per pound?

 

And once you get to Dixon's, you'll be "blown-away". Virtually everything you need for the black powder hobby, including clothes & candles.

Being a real "noobie" not sure if this is a good price or not.

That's the going rate and Dixon may even be a dollar more. Not that a buck will kill ya....

Über pricey.....Solomans has it for either 16 or 18 per pound. Which is just literally a filler more than if you had it shipped to you.

It's a store in Central Jersey with odd hours that's only open 3 days a week. They've been around forever and I don't think they know computers have been invented, so you not going to get a link. They don't even have an answering machine. Someone with better knowledge of their operations will fill you in more.

They don't have a website, and are probably lucky to have a phone and electricity.

Moved store to PA years ago--place was for sale months ago. Not sure if he's "still around". Quite a Character in his day!

I was at his shop in PA a few years ago, but a friend went to see him two weeks ago and said his driveway was blocked and his MUZZLELOADERS sign was taken down.
