    Your gonna wanna check out Ace Sporting Goods in Washington, PA. A short trip south, but a very nice shop IMO. Never had a bad experience there yet.

    I too have had a horrible experience at Anthony Arms and will never set foot in the place again.
    However, the gun smith was a nice guy and helpful.
    I really cannot understand how a shop with such a poor reputation stays in business.

    Every gun enthusiast that I have met in Pittsburgh has nothing but bad things to say about the place.

    I've never heard anything good about them. However they are the only range that in the Pittsburgh area you can rent guns at, that I know of.
    I've also heard the family owns a ton of various businesses in the pittsburgh area so they have the cash flow to run a bad business.

    Thanks for the info.

    Also, you may want to fix your ACE Sporting goods link.
    It has an extra HTTP in the URL. Wen I click it its a bad link.

    Thumbs up Re: Looking for a shop South of PGH

    For a brick & mortar SHOP, ACE is definitely the best, although I've never found THEIR customer service to be that great. On the other hand, I get treated WELL at Anthony's, even though their prices are high on a lot of things ($30 PMags...). Go figure?

    Pfrogners, down Toll Rd. 43, first exit past I-70, also has a NICE shop, and excellent customer service!

    I prefer Federal Firearms in Collier Township. Their prices are pretty good (and you can buy online through the Gun Genie) and service is excellent. It's definitely my shop of choice - yes even before Ace.

    Do you by chance regularly stock Romanian AK under folders?

    I was thinking about getting one later this month.
