Called Gun Cellar in Union Bridge yesterday. The guy who answered said they went out of business and don't sell guns anymore. Apparently they have some ammo they want to sell off to clear out what is left. Too bad! I stopped in there a few years ago. It was a funky place, but they had quite a few Savage rifles (new manufacture, not Model 99s). So it goes...

I imagine this will become a more common outcome for the smaller gun shops accross the state.

Out of morbid curiosity, was this shop doing 8th day release?

I may swing by, Union Bridge isn't too far.

In all the times I past Gun Cellar, it was never open, or at lerast never looked open.

The Buttersburg Inn is right nearby so you can at least get a good meal so it wont be a total loss.

They probably went belly up because they were never open. Many years ago it was a good shop with daily hours but the past few years they never seemed to be open. They did have good prices but they only caterd to hunters I cant ever recall seeing an Ar15 or an Ak in there. I actually bought my first savage there with my own money when I was 15yrs old. It was a model 111g in 30-06 and I think I payed around $300 brand new back in 1999.

I hate to hear of a gun shop closing its doors, whatever the reason.

You know, I love the older mom and pop gun shops. And a couple years ago, I called them looking for something. If I recall, I left a message, they called me back a day or so later, were very nice, but again, it was their hours. I don't recall the hours, but being a service tech, I like normal hours where I can swing in when I am on the road between service calls for stuff. Shops that have odd hours or are pretty far don't really do it for me as I have little free time since I am institutionalized (married w/kids).

Gun store owners are not getting rich in this business, now its putting them out of business.

Honestly, I thought they closed years ago. I never saw them open.

Was there a gun shop on Main Street in T-Town back in the day? Across from Country Kitchen? I seem to remember a neon "guns" sign and barred windows.

Ray basically retired all the way (he was retired Balt Co PD). He closed up his shop in T-town, sold his property, fair amount of acerage farm, and moved to PA somewhere.

You always have Bollingers. They're not quite a show room as of yet but extremely helpful and will order or take a transfer for you. Right now, they are my go to place. I presently only need a show room or gun show so the wife can see and feel what type of guns she likes and wants.

I found them open once and stopped in. It was hit or miss, a matter of timing. I have been mostly using Lock Stock & Barrel in Taneytown.
