Forest Park Army-Navy Store

It was some time back when I purchased an old Mauser rifle which had been sporterized. All I wanted was the action, so I didn’t care that the stock had been altered. Well, I gave the clerk my driver’s license and credit card, and filled out the firearms form, and I thought I was done. I took the rifle out to my car, and this guy follows me out the door and says, «You didn’t pay for that rifle.» He didn’t say, «Sir, you still need to do something to complete the purchase.» He just deadpans me and looks like one of those zombies ready to eat your brains. This store apparently has some kind of two-​step sales process that was not adequately explained to me. To say I was stunned by this guy looking at me and making an accusation like that was an understatement. I went back in and I cannot even remember what they wanted me to do. I told them I thought that by giving them all of that information – which included my name, address, credit card number, Declaration of Independence, etc., that I was done. I’ve never seen a sales procedure like this outfit has. Anyway, I took the rifle home – but I was so put off by the experience that it has just been sitting in my gun safe. To tell you the truth, I have thought about going back and just tossing it to the owner and saying, «Here – you think a retired Army officer was trying to steal your stupid gun after giving you his name, address and credit card information – you must need it more than I do.» I am sure, however, that I would never set foot in this store again. I sincerely hope it goes out of business.

I went in on a whim and WOW! I have been looking for 22 magnum for months so I bought half of his stock. Also looking for 32 Winchester and he had it too. I see myself doing a lot of business there! GREAT PLACE GREAT PRICES.

Great store. Tons of neat and cool stuff.
Always have to stop in when I am on that side of town to see what is new on the shelves.
Staff and the gun counter guys are always helpful.

This joint have everything you want as far as a army navy store the staff is great the prices are resonable. I’ll be back.

I had to come to this location to exchange a holster I had bought at the Stockbridge location and they are very nice and helpful here!

This place is seriously awesome, and has a plethora of all sorts of really cool things. Guns? Of course. Wooden practice swords? Yep. Canteens? Helmets? Backpacks? Boots? Gas masks? Yepp. And so much more. Really, you could get lost wandering this place. It is entirely too cool, and has so many interesting things. Weapons, armor, clothes.
If you’re making some kind of costume that involves a post-​apocalyptic wasteland, this place could probably be your one stop shop, as it will prove to be mine.

This place is awesome. Not only did they help me get exactly what I needed they also made sure that my shipping costs were down really low. I ordered from their online store because visiting would have been a mission. Melissa, who works there called me up personally to let me know that she had packed up my stuff and offered me a much better shipping deal. Now THAT is customer service… Calling me to let me know what is going on is so much better than getting an email that I would have to wait to get a response from. +5!
