I purchased a firearm here a few months ago. I also bought a100 pack of CCI ammo. I was told I could only purchase 1 a day, so come back and get another one. When I went out of my way, I was told I couldn't and it was only for when someone buys a gun. I could buy another gun, and they would let me purchase 1 more. No apologies. I emailed them and to this day, no response. Any reasonable shop anywhere would have apologized, explained the "rules" and let me purchase 1 for all my trouble. Not this place! And I was treated Ridley because I explained what I was told. BTW, they only publish 5 star reviews on their website, not 1 star reviews. Go there if you must, but go elsewhere if you don't. read more

I saw a gun I wanted was on sale (which is to say it was now slightly below what I could get it for at Cabela's) and was planning to head down tonight. Glad I checked the reviews and then watched the WCVB 5 News report. Looks like I'm heading to get my gun at MFS. read more

Great selection of hand guns. The employees are very knowledgeable and helpful. Fun place to spend some time and not be rushed or talked down to. I got a fair price and some on a trade and ended up buying a Glock as the package was so compelling. We are coming back for another goodie that the owner said he would hold with just a phone call. Have your pin with you as MA is no longer using the fingerprint scanner. read more

The Gun Parlor - My trade I brought in... - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

See all

Outstanding support and service. Thomas and Shane were very helpful with all questions and made it a very comfortable and easy experience. Highly recommend! read more

Awful shop. Everything is overpriced and the place doesn't deserve to be in business. I would rather drive further away and pay more (which is already tough given the Gun Parlors prices) than give these guys any business. read more

It took two days of phone conversations and only 2.5 minutes of being inside their Worcester location to be told three different stories and told "I'm sorry" four times by three different employees. When establishments screw up they usually do what they can to make up for it (in my instance the only thing in the way was supervisor arrogance) but not this place. Their motto is "when we F*up we know how to say sorry the best". This group of incompetent retards act like their the only gun dealer in the country and could really give a S* about you. So if you enjoy dealing with S*heads who cannot all be on the same page then this is the place for you. I personally feel dumber driving by the joint. read more

I am a newbie when it comes to firearms and the guys at The Gun Parlor made me feel so comfortable and welcomed. They were kind, helpful and knowledgeable. The facility was clean and safe. I would 100% recommend this place to my friends and cannot wait to go back! read more

With the availability of ammo and firearms due to everything going on in the country, it was nice to see a rather large selection of both. Prices are high but hey what can you do when when it is all flying off the shelf. Guy who helped me, Tom N. pretty knowledgeable and upfront, not too shabby for a 13F. I will certainly go back. read more

Every thing they have is "rare" so they want huge money for common things nothing they have is worth half what they are asking don't even bother going read more

As I first time gun buyer Neal from the Gun Parlor was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and helped a great deal in making me feel comfortable with my purchase. I will be back because of his great customer service and help read more

You don't really own a gun until you know how to properly use it. The lessons I have taken at The Gun Parlor have been amazing. I highly recommend learning how to use a gun proficiently from the instructors here! read more

Awesome selection here. First time I was here i was doing a face to face transfer. All the other times I've browsed their selection, had questions answered by their knowledgeable staff and have always found some very good deals here. read more

Had a great experience with the staff at the gun parlor. Picked up some glass for my Noveske as well as a new CZ Bren. The sales rep had the gunsmith add the rail and fore grip for my rifle immediately. I will definitely be back for more. Thanks! read more

I first purchased an AR from here with an optic and a rail. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable, plenty of selection from .380 and .22 up to .308win etc. I then bought a sig 1911 by paying in two installments (layaway) all went well. I wanted to do the same for another AR. The owner refused to do it based on the fact that it was such a high demand item and it was selling so well? I don't understand that kind of decision. I spent 3000 dollars already, and would have spent 2500 more. It would have been paid in the course of 4 weeks. Needless to say they lost me as a customer due to that policy. If you show loyalty to your customers they will return. Their prices have gotten worse, no one in their right mind would pay 650 for a gen 2 glock for instance. I don't care if it's MA approved. 3 stars based on selection and the staff. Update: Minus 4 stars based on their anti 2a stance and making MA a crappier place for gun owners. All set with you guys.. Enjoy bankruptcy. See wcvb video for reference. read more

Do NOT do business here. They have sold us out by helping channel 5 run an anti 2nd amendment hit piece. Prices are too high anyway.

If you know guns or need to learn about guns...go to the gun parlor!!! They have frequent LTC classes and are full of information. The owner, Justin, is passionate about his work and making sure you have the right gun for you. I have gone from never shooting a gun to wanting to shoot whenever I can - thanks to Justin and The Gun Parlor. read more

Decent shop, lots of inventory but very expensive. Prices are 20-30% higher than other shops in the area. read more

Awesome selection and great staff! Competitive prices that I was very happy with. Good to see a shop that stays up with trends, but has something (a lot of things) for any interest. read more

Very poor service! Purchased a belt, tried to return it the next day because the buckles would not go through pant loops, not worn, mind you. Had tags and receipt. Refused to take it back offered store credit. Nothing I want from there, drove an hour to make the return. Ended up buying something I didn't need to use up the credit. Two things the Gun Parlor can take to the bank along with my $75,, (1) they've lost a customer who spends a lot of cash,,, (2) I will give them as much negative publicity as I can muster!! read more

Super new, super clean, super knowledgeable. Nicest gun shop / range I've been in, period. Sales team is Very knowledgable, helpful and friendly. read more

Would not take a safe back that they knew was minorly screwed up. They knew it, too, as the box had had something scribbled on it and then crossed out. Safe had been used. Only jerks would put that back in stock like that for the hapless employees to grab. Think before you buy there. read more

talking to the staff has been a treat everytime I go . they answer all my questions and really have a passion for what they do. it is a breath of fresh air going in and feeling so welcome and see such a great selection of product. Justin walker,dean, and the rest of the staff have outstanding customer service and I cant wait till I can come back to purchase my next firearm. thanks guys! read more

I bought a used shotgun from The Gun Parlor. the gun was far from being a sellable item, and they should have known, and never let it out of the store the way it was. ( the barrel was bent) they offered to fix it, using up valuable hunting time. (at 20 yards it shot 10 inches high, and 4 inches to the left). I have since replaced the barrel, I am truly disappointed in the company. They were just out for the money. read more

Nice newer shop. Decent selection of guns. Staff and customer service are really, really good. Prices are pretty good. I bought a firearm there and they threw in a box of ammo and some targets. Just a few things they could do a little better. -they need a bigger sign on the street. I drove by twice before I found it -expand the floor space devoted to guns and accessories. -Better segregate the firearm side from the motorsports side. -a better selection of ammo. Get some shelving and stack the ammo up. Price it right and it will fly. read more

I love this place. Justin the manager is the best. I've used them as an FFL a number of times and buy all my accessories there. They are patient and very knowledgeable. Definitely check them out. -Michael read more

So happy I purchased a range membership with my husband. So worth the investment to have such a great indoor contemporary shooting range I am comfortable with the staff and always appreciate when Justin makes it a point to come by to say hello and checks to make sure everything is satisfactory. And he always answers any questions I have about shooting. Thank you to all of the staff for a great experience every time. Respectfully, Kim Costello read more

I have no problem with the staff, the ones that I have dealt with have been helpful. That being said - the prices are awful, a complete rip off. I would not recommend purchasing anything from them - window shop only then buy somewhere else. read more

We were interested in buying three STI pistols. They would not own up to the ones we wished to buy were demo guns. They were asking full price and with that we left and purchased them elsewhere. Also when asked to see a S&W performance 1911, they said that S&W quality was no longer any good. Our friend who recently purchased one and can shoot 1" groups at 1 yards thinks they are telling stories because they want to push other brands. There is a huge lack of honesty and integrity at this gun shop! read more

I just went into Gun Parlor and Justin,Nick and Pete where very helpful with all my questions.I be back soon Thanks for everything.

Went twice , both times No ask for license to see and multiple weapons on the counter... not very ethical.

poor business practices and bad store..overpriced items and rude staff...please spend your hard earned money somewhere else..

As a veteran and retired California PD Sgt (range master and survival shooting instructor), I'm always on the lookout for a professionally operated indoor gun range. I came across the Gun Parlor while browsing the internet and it looked like a possibility. But then I read the reviews and that raised a number of red flags. But since most of the bad reviews were written within a week, I suspected something happened that wasn't usual. So I kept checking the web for prices. Nothing was listed. Then I telephoned and found out why there are no prices listed. The membership fee is nothing less than exorbitant at $375 per year. Veterans and cops get it for $325, still way too high. I used to have a gold membership at Smith and Wesson for $50 per year. Plus all members must have an LTC to shoot there. That's not necessarily a bad thing because it keeps the bad guys out, but to require a wife to have an LTC as well is a little too much. Sounds like they want to sell LTC lessons and then charge a spouse a membership fee too. I doubt these people will be in business very long. read more

Having dealt with many gun shops across the state, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that this one is by far the best. They carry a variety of firearms, ammo and accessories that would make anybody's mouth water. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to go the extra mile. I frequently send them a note for something special I am looking for, and they never dissapoint. They can usually get whatever it is for me within a week. Don't take my word for it. Go visit the shop! read more

The Gun Parlor is hands down the most customer friendly gun shop I have ever been in. As a male in my 20's I have experienced on several occasions poor treatment at gun shops due to my age and the shop keepers assuming I cannot afford any of their merchandise. The guys at the gun parlor were the complete opposite. After verifying I had a proper license (as they should), one of their employees, Peter Gourousis, was more than happy to hand me any of the firearms in the store and answered all of my questions, even the most basic ones. The whole staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the products they sell. I would recommend this store to anyone looking for a firearm and especially to anyone who is just getting into firearms because these guys are certainly here to help you and aren't there to make you feel intimidated. Lastly, would just like to say to management that Peter did an excellent job working with me on what purchase was best for me and I left 100% satisfied. read more

The Gun Parlor was quick, professional, and an overall positive experience. I purchased a popular rifle and they checked in back and found me a newer model. read more

The Gun Parlor is a nice change of pace from some of the other shops that tend to make you feel like you're lucky they allowed you in the door. The other reviews are spot on; patient staff (pulled out as many pieces as I wanted to see), reasonable prices and just a cool place to shop. They have a good selection of merchandise as well and since they are relatively new I bet it will only get better. read more

Worst buying experience I have ever had... Bought a new HK VP9 which I briefly inspected at the store. After bringing it home I wiped off the oil film on the upper slide only to find a vertical scatch on the left side of the firearm that was through the black finish. My first inclination was to return it for a replacement but I decided to call HK first. They agreed with me that I should bring it back to the dealer for an exchange knowing fully well that there was a paperwork exercise to go through. Well I must say that my expectations did not come close to being met. Thinking that this was a reputable dealer and that an exchange would be honored, I was surprised at the outfight refusal to exchange the firearm. According to them, they had no responsibility and that I should take up the issue with HK. Needless to say they have lost a customer and I will certainly spread the word of my experience as I have many friends and colleagues who are shooters. The ironic part was that I was in a position to purchase 2 additional firearms totaling over $2500.00.... I will now seek out a real reputable dealer. read more
