I know I know, sort of general. Up in bar harbor Maine for the week, anybody familiar with gun shops that might be worth a stop on route home or local off highway ?

If you are driving back, Kittery Trading Post just before the Piscataqua River Bridge before New Hampshire is usually a good bid. With the current climate, like most gun shops in the country, it could be a toss-up. It is right off of I-95.

On the way home, stop at Kittery Trading post, kinda like Cabela's just not as big. While you're in Bar Harbor, check out Bar Harbor brewing co. free samples. Try this place for breakfast,http://www.jeanniesbreakfast.com/

 

Congrats, BTY. Enjoy the trip.

+3 Kittery Trading Post.

 

Also, Cabelas 

L.L. Bean. And Kittery Trading Post.

+1 for Kittery or Cabelas.  Cabelas has been getting a better supply lately.  C&R is near Bath/Brunswick too.  Might be worth a shot.   Stop in some of the Walmarts too.  You may get lucky.

Ya got answers for guns and beer, now all you need to do is hit the docks for a few cockroaches of the sea at Portside Grille.

Another +1 for lottery. Found my last ditch arisaka there last summer .

And by lottery I meant kittery of course

IIRC there is a strip mall in Trenton, Maine (ironic, huh?) right on route 3 just before you cross over onto Mount Desert Isle that has a gun shop.  Last time I was in Maine I stopped in and chatted for a while.  If I remember, the owner used to live here in NJ and could not believe how nuts it had become here.

 

I think this is the place

 

And while on Mt Desert Island, check out Atlantic Brewing Co. if you are a beer drinker.

I drove up 95 this weekend and called every box store on the east coast and no one had any .22.

Grew up on MDI. Any questions let me know.

 

Can't think of any gun shops off the top of my head. Except llbean and cabelas.

those are the big ones....in that area.....

 

.....there are lots of smaller trading posts selling ammo, chain saw bars and blades....etc....I even saw an Ice cream shop in Dover selling 7.62x39....well....it was right next to an Ice cream shop...

Wow, I will call some family and see whats up there, my Grandpa is a lobsterman out of Bar Harbor and my Uncle has a lobster boat out of Bucksport.   If you go up to Bucksport at all send me a PM, my family owns some interesting property with Indian carved murals of Captain Buck and depicts the story of his boats coming ashore.  

If you make it to Portland, stop by Gritty McDuff's.

Love it up there, but no recommendations on gun shops.

Pick me up some spp on your way back. Thanks.

If you're into serious target shooting, Larry's Guns in Gray, Maine should be worth a stop.   I've not been there in person, but I've been a mail order customer, and they carry stuff that is VERY hard to find elsewhere.  They do operate a brick-and-mortar shop.

I'm headed to Bar Harbor in August - thanks to everyone who responded to the OP, this will be a big help for me as well.

Kittery was the best stop, all the smaller shops along the way were ok, but bare and over priced
