When I stopped in to look at guns he was helpful and seemed knowledgeable he was willing to talk about the fire arms I had him grab and let me look over a few of his guns had damage but that's expected when he's a pawn shop owner not every gun will be in mint condition he was very helpful and kind why I was in there seems like a good guy n I would buy from him the only reason he is not getting 5 from me is because I have not purchased from him
