Visiting Shops in Albany

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Visiting Shops in Albany

Posted: 3/21/2006 7:11:52 PM EDT

A friend and I are going to visit the gunshops in the Albany area, are there any that anyone would care to mention as a good shop, even a bad shop, the more the merrier, hoping to make a day of it on this coming Saturday, any shops will do, I lean heavily to the EBR's but my friend is more the boltgun and pistol type. Thanks in advance, Sean.

Hey Sean, here are a couple places to check out:

B&J Guns @ 1702 Central Avenue, Albany NY (look for the Enterprise Car Rental Sign.) 1st Choice and if Brian is there, tell'em you frequent the board

Accurate Arms @ 2123 Central Ave, Schenectady, NY (Further west heading towards Schenectady)

Without a doubt your best bet in the Albany area.

1st Choice and if Brian is there, ~~tell'em you frequent the board~~Tell him you're looking for Hiramranger, you got his name off the mens' room wall on the Thruway....

Actually, that would get the most colorful response from Brian.

SAM, Special Arms and Munitions, is a shop run by a friend of mine in the same general area as B&Js. The locals can give you the address. The co-owner. Mark Kalil, is a rare Class2 manufacturer, very good smith, and black rifle fan.

I do 99% of my business with them now, well, since they opened actually. Mark is a good guyg, and indeed, a great smith.

I will be making them all the top of the list, I had heard of B&J's but not the others and have been to none, I love visiting new shops.

We did this last week in the Utica area, visited all that we could find but TNT, as they are not open on the weekend, I will make a trip on a weekday sometime though. what are some of these guys thinking with trying to have a life? I mean sheeeesh! heard
Thanks much! Sean.

Up near Round Lake on Route 9 is Zack's. Lake on one side off the road ans Zack's on the other. I usually get milsurps from them but also got a SAR-1 form them a few years ago. They also have some EBR's and are good guys. Not as big as B&J's, but I try to stop at both when I am in the area doing service calls.

Wave claims he keeps it in his radio car in case he gets a 311 call for a plumbing emergency.

Well I went and checked out B&J, J&J, S.A.M., and Accurate Arms, we got a late start so I didn't get the chance to check out Zack's, save that for the next trip out. What a great bunch of shops. I picked up a few small items that I needed at B&J and was pretty happy with the ammo selection at J&J, prices weren't THE best but very decent.

Thank you all for the suggestions, very much appreciated! Sean.

BTW... Brian wasn't in today.....
