    Default Gun Shop on PA-34/Spring Road in Carlisle

    Around 7-8 months ago I stumbled upon a then newly-opened gun shop in Carlisle and I can’t for the life of me remember the name. It was a nice little shop with a good selection and the proprietor was friendly.

    It is on PA 34/Spring Road near the Carlisle State Game Commission shooting range. If you took Route 944 from the range and made a left on PA 34/Spring Road, it was maybe 1-2 miles up PA 34/Spring Road on the right. It was after where you would turn off PA 34/Spring Road onto 944/Wertzville Road. That’s actually how I stumbled upon it – I had missed my turn onto Wertzville.

    Looking at Google satellite imagery I would guess it’s right around 3988 Spring Road, Carlisle, PA 17013.

    Can anyone help me out with the name or phone number?

    Thanks.

    It wasn't Hetricks Sporting goods? Or Albright Arms? That is the only places I can find in Carlisle.

    Appalachian Trading Post is at 3677 Spring Rd route 34 but google maps has the numbers wrong I think it shows that right outside his place its 4018 Spring Rd. Joe is a great guy to deal with, that's where I bought my XD sub compact.

    Here's the number 717-249-4298

    That's gotta be the place. He doesn't maintain much of an internet presence.

    Thanks!

    No, that was Ed Bender's. He retired over the summer and had a sign in his window referring everyone to Appalachian Trading Post after he closed for good. I miss Ed. Haven't been in ATP yet, but I've been in the other half of the shop, Kevin Quirk Signs, he wrapped our new work truck. (did a great job too)
