We had planned to rent them but there wasn't any place in town that rents bikes for kids so they fill a great need in our community. We went back to buy children's helmets and learned that they also give them away but they were out at the time. What a community gift! I look forward to returning soon to learn some basic bike repair.

A little too hardcore for me and he seemed to feel like he was a pretty superior athlete (which I'm sure he is).

So Tick Licker aka Beavertown Guns ( Not sure if the name change helps but they can get away with…read moreit in Corvallis) has a few higher prices but I have scored a few good deals there. I went in to pick up a BCM lower on a transfer, (this was during an AR15 shortage). Talking with the guy he mentioned they had an complete Aero AR10 lower at a great price. So I bought that one I just was looking for a Shockwave. Checked with Brownells, they had it at 500. Called TL, they quoted 575. Not so bad considering and I do try and buy local. I called back to order the shockwave and now the prices was 525, cheaper than Brownell's would be with the transfer and shipping. If sarcasm hurts your feelings and you think people are assholes maybe you should take up knitting instead of shooting. That said no one has been sarcastic or discourteous to me at TL. The worst thing is that they are not selling suppressors. They promise to have their NFA paperwork in place by the summer. lets hope. With the exit of Wes and Philomath Guns we do not have much in the way of firearms retailing. BiMart has very limited stock, mostly hunting related gear. I do not count Coastal as their pricing is MSRP or better

You need to spend more. They acknowledge you when you walk in, despite the idiots complaining that they don't. If you have a question, they answer it, and are friendly.....even when the question is completely ridiculous. You might get some sarcasm, but they're not goin to treat you badly. This doesn't make them assholes, it makes them the kind of salesmen that are the ones that represent the best business practices for these things that you can get. They're prices aren't higher than anywhere else, their shop is clean and well maintained, and the people working there, know what they're doing. Stop in. You'll like it.

What's up Yelpies !!!!…read more I know you're used to me putting in reviews for food but this place right here deserves a huge five star yelpie review. The staff here is on point you ask questions they have answers they give you ideas recommendations. They also have ridiculously awesome prices and a great inventory by far 30% cheaper than a lot of the larger hardware stores that you would normally go to and they do custom cutting of wood's, and other things to help the Weekend warrior individual that's looking to finish up a project, but not spend an arm and a leg finishing it. I mean, honestly I've been in Construction for a long time and I've never seen prices like this even during Covid when I was working on my house the prices were really good and now they're even better. If you're around any of these locations, they have them all over town, Corvallis, Lebanon, Albany check it out
