East Brunswick Sportsman closed

[sosa9999 5]

Stopped by and they are closing.

[Vlad G 345]

That sucks, on the other hand most small business do fail in the first 2 years. The couple of times I went in there they had no inventory to speak of.

[checko 180]

That sucks. But I'd have to agree with Vlad. I stopped in and they didn't have much to offer. c'est la vie

Its definitely true that they are closed as of today.  Mark is a great guy.  I was his last and final FFL transfer today.  Good luck to him in the future.

[Duppie 73]

I stopped by on several occasions and it always seemed that it was just a sideline and not really a viable undertaking...sparse inventory of marginal firearms and no real ammo or accessories to speak of.

You didn't need a crystal ball to foresee the future....

[Jon 264]

Don't worry guys. As I understand it this will be very good for the shooting community in our area in the long run. Stay tuned...

Very cloak and dagger of you haha

[Joe P. 4]

Ewww no new big box stores!

[dajonga 396]

Bummer. I made my first stop by the place on Saturday. He had a nice looking S&W 18 in the case. They seemed very willing to negotiate, but I am broke, so I left. Had I known they were going to close within 48 hours, I maybe woulda made an insultingly low offer.

[Smokin .50 1,907]

I was in there a coupla times to by some 12 ga. shells.   Sad to hear this.  Seemed like nice folks.

[MidwestPX 172]

That's too bad. We recently shipped them a lower to transfer too.

[TulsaJohn 1]

I was in there about a year ago, when I walked in there was no one in site. I waited a few minutes then walked out, not suprised at all. I did notice that they were not a true gun shop, and more of some type of auto store.  I never spoke to anyone there, nor did i even see anyone there. Too bad since its the closest place I would do a transfere if needed. I was looking for ammo, but walked out after waiting a few moments.

Yes it will.

[Joe P. 4]

Yes it will.

what does this innuendo mean???!!!! ... share share , fairs fair 

[M4BGRINGO 139]

Henry going to start his own FFL?

 

I was thinking about it, don't know if I want to deal with the BS though inthis state and with the Feds.

[Genewarper111 18]

Henry is a great guy and very much part of the culture and ethos of firearms in East B. Whatever he does I hope he is successful.

[Alex V 99]

Can't really say I am all that sad to be honest.

 

I was there twice; once before they officially opened and was told that it was a side business for the garage, the second time a few months late, the single display case had nothing of note and they were asking $12.99 for a box of 20 PMC 5.56. 

 

They were listed as a Slip2000 dealer, so I asked my wife to stop in to pick up some cleaner and after she saying hi and asking "My husband is looking for this..." the guy behind the counter proceeded to hit on her and make her feel super unfomfortable.  Nice...

 

I wanted to use them to transfter an M&P Shield, went there with the paperwork to find the door closed and lights out 3 hours before they were supposed to close.  Oh well, took my business elsewere.

 

If you want to be around as a storefront you have to invest in inventory, if not, just work from your kitchen table.

 

At first I was super excited as they are within walking distance of my house.  I quickly lost my excitement and went back to the stores I went to before they were around.

Good things are coming your way my friend.

again with the aloof implication of great things .. come clean 

[Duppie 73]

Jon....very cryptic but in passing, in the 4 years I've been a firearms owner I've seen some good things happening...2 high end ranges opened in North Jersey and doing well,two more indoor ranges opening in central Jersey,one with 16 25yd lanes planned, I believe at least 1 more in south Jersey with perhaps another in the works?

Now as to your elusive posts......EB finally opening the police range to residents?

Yeah those were mine haha, I worked with Henry at a previous job so I was surprised when it closed the week after, but I have also heard rumblings that this may be for the better as well, we will just have to wait and see.

[average joe 5]

Not surprised, they never impressed me,  nothing in the store, wasted trip.   I was there once, and would never go back.

[BlueLineFish 615]

I went in once. Thoroughly disappointed, never returned

Let me know if you need an Architect :-)

 

I'm registered in NJ and a fellow firearms enthusiast! What better combination to design a new gun store/range :-)
