    I have to say, the gun stores here in MD are top-notch compared to some of the ones I frequented while living in CA. I had yet another great experience today, this time at Atlantic Guns. Spoke to Kyle over the phone yesterday who set aside two items I was interested in and placed a deposit on. Walking in today, I was immediately greeted and helped by a very friendly female associate whose name I failed to ask for. After letting her know that I had two items set aside, she immediately retrieved them from the back, gave me ample time to look them over, then proceeded with a quick completion of the paperwork. Great prices, great service, great conversation - another stellar gun store in MD! Definitely come check them out if you haven’t already. They have an impressive selection at very reasonable prices.

    They're a polarizing shop around MDS. Don't know why. I've always been treated decently there
    Interesting. Maybe things have changed or maybe I caught them on a good day. Or, it could be that I’m used to being treated like cattle at the shops in CA. Based on my experience today, though, they’re good in my book! Glad you’ve had good experiences with them as well. I noticed that they were friendly to everyone who walked into the shop, so I hope that’s a consistent theme for anyone visiting.

    I’ve always found Atlantic to be good people and professional even iif their prices were somewhat high…but that’s the price for being in Montgomery County and in a pretty high overhead location.

    Now in Tennessee ,
    Always been treated well by them , My relationships were with the older staff and the knowledge of all things related to guns and shooting ,reloading , hunting was all firsthand experience and as one said reading everything on earth about it all . I'll not get to see the new store since I don't have to come to the DC area for meetings . Kind of sad that they have gone to just one store .
    Glad to see them still fighting the good fight against all in your state that want to get rid of them .

    Over the years I've found some treasures in the used gun cases there.

    I don't know why either. I've been going there(Rockville store) for over 40 years(?). Always got good service. It seems that for some in this crowd, you catch a store on an off day or at a bad time, they are irredeemable.

    I spent a fair amount of time in my college years leaning on their counter and watching , What a lot of people don't get is all that stuff has to get unpacked , logged in , checked and priced then put out for sale . If you had walked in and they were logging in a good size gun order or any large order and they didn't jump all over you it's because they can just walk away from those guns and goods , So they have to move them so they didn't grow legs then take care of you . Not like a car dealer were all the salesman that swarm you as you come in because all they do is sell cars , They don't have any other responsibility's . All the record keeping for gun sales must be a nightmare .

    I love that store. I think there are two females working there...Eva and some other I forgot her name. I was just thinking that I haven't been there in a while and I need to pay them another visit.

    Yes, it was Eva! I just checked my 77R application and confirmed the name. She was very helpful. Thanks!

    My father started dealing with them when they were in DC ! I used to go to the Silver Spring store with him when I was a (little) kid. I have been dealing with them ever since. Now I guess I will have to go tomorrow.....

    Im a little surprised they are polarizing. It’s been a while, but I recall a good experience.

    I've been a satisfied, even enthusiastic customer for more than 40 years, and have done business with 3 generations of Schneiders. Nothing but good things to say about them. I wish they still had a Silver Spring presence.
