A recent post here about consignment guns got me thinking about this place again.

I was only there once or twice but the guy seemed really nice. Now that I heard he went out of business.

What happened? Sick of the BS?Or what? Thanks

Business was small to begin with but age and business in general.  Yeah, he was a class act.  Would order anything you needed and always had time for you.  I heard he was working part-time at another gun shop but I can't find out where.

I live a couple of blocks from Becks and I heard he retired and moved to the Poconos. He had a more friendly store than Mike and Kates up the street.

Retched_Rick how is Mike and Kates? I`ve never been there. Anything good or should I just stick to Lock`s and Surplus? Thanks

Just confirmed that Mr. Beck did in fact retire and move up state.

Mike and Kates is a little store probably 12 x 12 or a little smaller. I don't go there much but he did handle a transfer for me.

He requires that a firearm come from a dealer and not a private person. Beck's did not have this requirement.

Lately, M&K has been looking like the gun store of choice for North Philadelphia Gladiators....Just an observation and nothing against the store owner.....I would stick with Locks....bigger selection...I can't speak for the treatment you get there because it has been 15 + years since I did business with them....

Thanks. I always want to check a gunstore I`ve never been at, but after hearing I think I`ll pass. I`ll just stick to Lock`s and Surplus. Though I do eventually want to try Guns and Things.
