I do most of my business at the Firearms Guild in Rahway. Been going there for almost 40 years. It used to be Charlie Brenners. Good knowledgeable and patient sales people there led by the manager Joe. Good selection too. I highly recommend it. Tell them you're a friend of mine.

Doesn't the "Garand Guy" work out of that location?

I use to ride my bike to Brenners and then fish in Milton Lake. I was not fond of the guy who bought it from Mr Brenner, but I understand since it became its new name it is a much better place.

It was bought by another guy some years ago and he took over the building as well as the store. He made quite a few changes which you may not have seen. Great place.

Many years ago, one of my sons used to fish at Milton Lake and I once took a grandson there to fish. Time passes on.

I'll second that. My buddies Father works there and I think there a good bunch of guys. They don't ignore people or talk down to people.

Hey simmons - Most of the guys at the store are friends. Who is your buddie's friend?

Correction: Who is your buddie's father?

MR. B He's a retired police officer.

Know him well. Talk every week.

I purchased my G22 from this shop. I do not know the salesmans name but he looked like his was in his mid thirties and a very nice guy. I told him this was my first gun and he showed me how to field strip it down and tald me to call the shop anytime i had any questions. I also told him i was interested in joining CJRP club and he was liek let me know i will get you an application.

 

They had a decent amount of inventory in the store and the prices seemed reasonable to me.

His name is Joe and he is the manager of the store. Great guy!

Unlike the managers of many other NJ gun shops, Joe actually recognizes his customers and is friendly and polite. It was only my second visit to the store when I felt like he at least knew roughly who I was and that I was a potential future customer. He was slightly remote the first visit, but after my companion bought a handgun, he realized we actually buy stuff.

 

I've bought a lot of ammo there (they seem to get regular shipments of the ammo I need) at completely reasonable prices. Their long gun prices seem slightly high, but handgun prices seem completely market correct.

 

I've also had the wonderful experience of having a salesman briefly stop a very long running handgun purchase transaction to quickly help me buy something at the register. With gun purchases often taking 30+ minutes, it doesn't take long to completely use up the three or four salespeople when they're busy. Having salespeople occasionally able to do very quick, interrupt-driven transactions makes the whole store flow better.
