The Ammo Can

When you really love milsurp firearms and when you really do not care about the way they do business, you will love this store, yes, owner never smile, not for the past three years, but he is a good guy and pretty knowledgeable, yes he is firm on everything he priced, he never budge a penny, but man the price is really competitive, nothing to complain about. Please bring more old cool guns as you did for the past three years. Thank you!

I have purchased firearms, ammo and other items there and found prices to be as good or better than any gun shop in town. Availability never seems to be a problem. Staff is knowledgeable and really good at customer service, seems to understand you are the reason for their work not a interruption of it. All and all going there is a good experience and it is everything a gun shop should be. Others in town could learn something about running a gun shop.

Been popping into the Ammo Can every so often, it's aesthetically a great place to walk into, friendly owner who's very knowledgeable on firearms and everything that goes with them. Bought a new Glock 17 at msrp, almost 100$ less then everywhere else in Alaska. Great inventory, great prices, great service and a great dog.

Went there to build an AR. Guy there was patient, knowledgeable, quiet. Accidentally sold me a .308 ejection port cover, but replaced it when I went back the next day. Even kind enough to allow me to comeback the next day because I forgot the little bar that holds it in place rather than charge me for it. Little small, pretty cramped, but has a wide selection of products from ARs, AKs, and they even have the same model of gun that Lee Harvey Oswald used in the JFK assassination, which I found very amusing. Only thing I can think to improve it would be a greater selection of CCW holsters, but they seem to focus more on milsurp and rifles, and the extremely small space means they probably had to make a choice on the variety they can have. Like I said, shop is absolutely tiny. But if you are a beginner looking to get started and aren't a jerk, you can do worse.

The guy at the counter was nice and helpful, but they charged me $100.00 to transfer a Ruger No. 1 rifle. Had I known their FFL transfer fees were so exorbitant, I'd have had the rifle shipped somewhere else. I will most likely give them zero business in the future because of the bad taste this has left in my mouth.

The only experience I've had with this place is the ridiculously low amount of money they or should I say he offered me for all of my ammunition. You can be sure that I'll never go by your store for anything, including ammunition, unless I'm stopping by to laugh at how much more money you're selling my ammo for. I paid almost exactly $300 for all of the shotgun shells alone, much less the tens of thousands of rounds of .22LR I brought along. You lowballed me for all of that and you know it. Despicable. I hope you feel better knowing that you took full advantage of our situation. We'll have fun paying medical bills with your measly $300. That was easily $1000 worth of ammo, probably about $1300. You've made a lasting negative impression on a young and potentially lucrative customer.

This place is hit or miss. I've been buying ammo here for years and they usually have a good supply of bulk ammo of various quality. They stock a ton of overpriced, low quality weapon accessories and miscellaneous surplus gear haphazardly thrown in bins. The service is usually mediocre. They mostly watch you from the counter until you ask for help. The guy that's there most often is usually responsive to quetions but they don't go above and beyond to help you or make recommendations. This is fine by me because I would be very skeptical of anything they have to say by the the junky products they stock. Do your independent research on fire arms, ammo, and accessories you see there because a lot of it is junk. The one thing I like about this place is that it's one of the few places in town to source spare AR15 parts in a hurry. They usually have a bunch of the small parts springs, pins behind the counter.

Great people and very completive prices. I bought a lower AR receiver from there and found the exact same thing on a "discount" web site for $50 more plus shipping than I spent at the Ammo Can. I'll take all my firearms business there first from now on.

I didn't have a problem with anyone in the shop, the man was helpful when I was undecided on what rifle to buy. They always have that one peace no one else's has like a 9mm 15 buffer I needed.

Seems like every time I try to give this place a chance I'm reminded why I don't go there very often. Yes, they do generally have good deals on ammo but the customer service is terrible. It would be nice if an employee would say "hello" or " can I help you find something today" !! Maybe even a " thanks for stopping by , have a nice day " . Perhaps my expectations are to high.
