I took it apart to clean it and it didn't work when I got it back together . It was there around 6 weeks or better with no updates . Long story short it didn't work when I got it back but they didn't test it before I picked it up . I took it back apart with youtube videos & diagrams from Brownell's and did the pencil test which I thought was great . I guess there gunsmith never heard of the pencil test ? My .45 SERIES 80 MK IV GOLD CUP NATIONAL MATCH works great now , no thanks to Civil Armory & there gunsmith . Bob Kaps Fishkill NY

Been coming here for a few years now and I've had nothing but positive experiences at the shop…read more Other reviews talk down on the customer service/wait time, but that's because at any given time there's like 50 million people crowding the store shoulder to shoulder. This is not a large store, it is ran by only a couple of people. You cannot expect them to get through an entire crowd of customers as quickly as Walmart could. Also most of the purchases are for ammunition or firearms, which you must do paperwork for every single time in this state. You shouldn't be surprised that it takes a little bit more time to serve customers than other stores, especially with how popular this store is. Every inch of the store is covered with gun parts, ammunition, guns, etc. I've always been able to find what I need and the employees were always eager to look through EVERYTHING for what I need if I couldn't find something on my own. The employees are also very knowledgeable, and have frequently given me advice on gun maintenance, cleaning tips, and warnings about flaws in older models of firearms and how to avoid putting myself in danger while using them. They care about their customers and there's no questioning that. I've also consistently found excellent deals at their shop, particularly in regards to military surplus rifles/antique firearms (I just got a mint condition replica traditions muzzleloader for $150, and normally this models sells for about $400 online as a kit). Multiple reviews say that the employees are rude, however I have never seen that, even when I was new to the firearms community and would ask the most braindead questions a shop owner could hear. I'm not discrediting other people's experiences, but none of the workers have ever spoken down to me or disrespected me for any reason. I have however seen my fair share of snobby and "know it all" customers try to argue with the shop owners, and that's when they tend to get dismissed by the employees. It's as simple as treating others how you would like to be treated, and I guess some people missed learning about the golden rule when they were in kindergarten. Overall I love this store and will continue to buy from them for as long as I can, just try to come around when it's not as crowded cause it will take a little bit to get to the front of the line.

Raised the price 100 dollars when I went to buy over the price tag and said it was an old price.read more

They couldn't match the inventory of Precision up the road, but their overall prices were waaay more reasonable. They also have the best FFL transfer rate in the entire Hudson Valley. Their archery ranges are also spotlessly clean and reasonably priced. They operate out of an ole school building and it's just really cool.

When he was free, he checked on me to see if I needed help with anything. I was looking to purchase some 12 gauge shotgun, slug ammo. The guy behind the counter was the owner, Glen.

It was a great first visit and definitely a place I look forward to returning to in the future. Clean, bright, well stocked, ample parking, reasonably priced, easy to get to from just about anywhere and a knowledgeable owner... a real recipe for success! Might just be my new go to gun shop!
