Honestly, I'm surprised it took this long. I actually bought there a few times when it was Gun Envy. But you had better know what you were doing.
Hate to see it happen. |

Gun Envy ruled. Excalibur not so much. Sorry to see the location close, but they tried to rip off my FIL by claiming his Colt .357 wasn’t worth anything and offering $100. Fuck them.

I am surprised they even stayed open a year.
GE use to get 100% of my transfers even with their socially awkward employees |

On a side note, it still amazes me how Gun World in Hilliard is still in business.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are Gun Envy lowers a collectors item now? I hope so!  I’m still mad at myself for letting them talk me into one one time. Even let them engrave it as I thought I was going to SBR it. It’s complete trash. Not even hard coat anodized. I’ve seriously contemplated throwing the damn thing away. The only good that came out of gun envy for me was when they got closed down my tax stamp got approved in record time as a result. |

But how many of you ever met Zane from Zanes gun rack when he was alive. lol I lived on East Dominion, not far from there when I was a freshman in High School. He was always there with the dogs. Always walking around with his price gun. Sorting out all the stuff in there. It was all over the place but he knew where everything was. He knew where everything was. I remember the Japanese skull on one side. I bought my first K98 style gun there. It was a Polish WZ-29. I wanted a K98 but didn't know the difference then. I think it was $150 It was a fun place to look around in. Stacks of guns, ammo, swords and all kinds of things. I was told when he died (was murdered) that there were at least 2 storage units filled with at least as much stuff as he had in the store. |

If you need an Alternative for Transfers, American Gun crafters in Gahanna is top notch.
Shop's that were around when I was a kid that are gone now. Norcoles on Cleveland Ave north of Vance's by Yummy Donuts. My favorite shop. Davis Guns. Original Powder Room. Of course Zane's. Was never a fan but sad the way his story ended. Yeah I can't believe Gun world in Hilliard is still around. |

I bought a pellet pistol from Zane's on High St in the late 1970's. He had a little bit of everything in that store. I seem to remember he was killed in a shoot out with robbers.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Damn, I forget about Cap City Outfitters. Been in a few times and they were great, but the stir is in the small side. I'm getting ready to buy my first supresor. I'll bet they are good for that I can confirm, they are excellent for that. |

But the real robbery happened with the City of Columbus police and the ATF went hand picking in the shop. Dirty bastards! |
