Previously I had taken a shotgun in for repairs. That interaction went very well. I had zero…read moremisgivings about the repairs that were done. First time out with that firearm it malfunctioned again. Called these guys back and the owner/gunsmith literally begged me to bring it back. It's amazing to find someone with such strong values about what they're doing. In spite of some drama in the middle that I'm leaving out (read a SNAFU in phone communication right there) but, I'm still super impressed. Yes, I strongly recommend this business.

If you've ever walked into a g@n store and dreaded talking to the fudds at the counter, this place will be a huge relief. They know their stuff, they aren't pushy, and the store itself has WAY more items than you might think. They have a lot of things I usually would order online because you wouldn't expect to find them locally. Suppressor mounts and hubs, flashlight tape switches, good, high end NVGs, steel targets, and they personally test a huge majority of the gear they sell - and then put up well made YouTube videos with the results. If you've ever bought an NFA item from a shop and then had them sit on your approval for days or weeks... another sigh of relief with ECG. From what I can tell, they strive to get notifications out to customers the day they get the approvals from the ATF. No games like I've played with a lot of other NFA shops over the last 14 years. Overall, if you've never been in - you should support these guys.

They were very good about ensuring people understood the content, answering questions, receiving feedback, and ensuring range safety. I can definitely stand to improve my shooting skills (I can hit a target, but I'm slow). Looking forward to taking more classes to improve my skills and I know these guys can explain things in such a way that I can get there, or find me the right person to get the job done.

It's rare these days to find a company that values quality over speed. I ordered a custom built…read morebrass ramrod for an antique muzzleloader that I inherited. Did it take about three weeks to deliver? Yes. However the price as well as the superb craftsmanship made it well-worthwhile.

Great place to buy hard to get muzzleloading supplies. They carry products that no one else does…read more That's a big plus. There are however some negatives that could make shopping here much better. A large part of their business comes from online sales. They are one of two or three sites well known in the muzzleloader community as a go to place for hard to find supplies. With so much online business you would think the web site would be easy to navigate, but it could use some improvement and streamlining. It does take some practice and effort to find certain items and a number of links on their page come up with no products listed. It can be a little tedious to find some items. The biggest drawback is the time from order to shipping. A five to seven day wait for orders to be shipped is not unusual. This usually means a 10 to 12 day wait from the time an order is placed until it arrives. That's an eternity by todays standards. Especially so as you pay $15 for shipping and handling when so many companies are offering free shipping for larger orders. Negatives aside October Country still has a great selection for the muzzleloading enthusiast. If that is one of your passions you do need to check them out.

Axel Raven was the only dealer who carried Microtech's MSAR STG-556 IN STOCK. I was very happy with…read morehis well-stocked inventory. He was also very helpful and accommodating in getting the rifle to me in the Seattle area. Axel Raven could definitely use a more updated website. My only complaint about Axel Raven is that, over the phone, he recommended shipping my rifle to Wade's Eastside Guns in the Seattle area (in order to do the FFL paperwork). Wade's Eastside Guns FALSELY claimed to "stock" the rifle, so they charged me their % fee for the paperwork (since it had been purchased elsewhere). Wade's ripped me off for almost $300 and were total pricks to me.

Bought the 1.75x9 modular suppressor weeks ago. Still haven't been able to shoot it. Not because of…read morethe product -- because of the company. The can uses a proprietary thread spec that doesn't fit any third-party muzzle device. You're locked into buying AA's own. Their dealers aren't told this, and they're also not told that the can ships with a 5/8x24 brake by default -- so if you're running a 1/2x28 host (most ARs, most pistol-caliber stuff), what comes in the box won't even thread on. You find that out after you've paid. And gone though NFA hassle. Their muzzle devices themselves aren't great, and they're constantly out of stock. No restock dates, no email alerts, no backorders. When I asked how to know when something's back, I was basically told to keep checking the website. Customer service is slow and short. A simple technical question took two weeks to get a one-line answer. When I followed up after silence, the reply included "you are not our only customer, please have patience." While I waited, the part I was ready to buy went out of stock. Wanted to support an US/Idaho company. But I regret the purchase.
