Default Topton Gun Shop?

Does anyone have the phone number for the Gun Shop in Topton? I heard it's a nice shop and I would like to visit. I'm sure it is not too difficult to find because Topton seems like a small community. Any information would be appreciated.

Bought a Beretta 92G Elite II on gunbroker and Randy at Handgunner is doing the transfer for $15 ! That's the best price around.

I bought my Taurus PT1911 from Randy. Some of his prices are higher, but some are lower...so if you know what you are looking for, you can score.

I took a mauser rifle there to have the guy drill it to put a scope on it. I left it there 5 weeks as he said it would take that long. Came to pick it up and he tells me that my barrel is bent and he couldn't zero the scope. He put the scope on it anyway for me. I take it back to my range, try to zero itjust because i was flustered and it wont work just as he said. I then take the gun to gander mountain and ask the gunsmith there what he can do about it.

He looks at the holes the handgunner gunsmith guy drilled and pointed out to me that the guy didnt' even drill the holes in a straight line. It looks like he was drunk when he did it as the holes were drifting to the left side. No wonder he couldn't zero the scope. I called back and told him what he had done, but i wasn't about to drive back down to topton from Lackawanna county. I just shoved the gun in the safe and shoot it with iron sights. Waste of 150$ though that's for sure. I'll never go back there or give that guy a good review.

I must be blind, because I don't see anything about a Ruger in this thread.
Thanks for the info though.
