buddy, you are getting a bit annoying advertising for wolf's...you are either the owner or someone that works for them...if you want to be a vendor...why not talk to Dan about seeing up a dealer account...I for one am a bit tired of you advertising for free on this forum.

I agree, Aubie. He must have posted on every thread....or close to it!

I was in Wolf's about 2 weeks ago, they had ammo and guns all over the counter and floor, the older guy that owns the place was talking with 2 younger guys who were behind the counter. It looked to me like they were taking over. I've never bought anything there, just a regular stop on my way back from Shyda's. I never could pass up a gunstore- even stopped at one on our way back from Rehobeth the other week. Anybody want a 1918 Eddystone in fair condition for only $1500 OTD?

Yeah, that's what I said too....

Dude, if you want to advertise take out an ad in the paper. Don't be trollin' around here.

Stopped going to Trout Run all together a few years ago, because of their take it or leave it attitude. I left it, there are enough other shops to buy from. I.M.O. New Holland Sportsman seemed over priced, at least what I looked at the few times I was there.Another one to check out is Village Arms in Gap.

+1 on Encks Gun Barn, not too big but nice stuff and very courteous staff, bought my series 70 combat commander there. Prices were pretty darn good too.

Where abouts is Villiage Arms?

Where is Encks? Is it along 501, north of Lititz?

**jdlv4_0** · October 2nd, 2006, 08:20 PM

it's on Chapel Road north of the 897 just east of Kleinfeltersville, and lo and behold they have a website http://www.encksgunbarn.com/

Is Encks close to Cocalico Gun Club? I believe I saw a direction sign on Rt. 897.

If you are interested in mil surp stuff, Enck's Gun Barn and Backwoods generally have the best selections and price. Wolf's occasionally has neat stuff on consignment. I will never enter Trop's. They have an idiot (nicest word I can use here) working for them. Shyda's has good prices on reloading stuff, especially powder. Curious that I found this forum via this thread.

Hi derghost, fancy running into you here. Anyone who goes to Encks may also want to try Richland Shooters Supplies in Richland. It's about 10 minutes away, and staff is friendly and helpful.
