One of the very few places to find military surplus firearms as well as ammunition for them. they also sell new modern firearms as well for your needs. very customer friendly store with help if you ask.

I met Mark and Brian when I had a firearm transferred to their store. They have an awesome selection of firearms, ammo & accessories. I was not familiar with the AR platform and Brian took time to review the takedown and assembly process. They are so customer oriented that this is the only store I plan to do business with!

Love this place! IHIGHLY RECCOMMEND!!! I am a 62 y.o. female, so a lot of places I go to either shoot or buy ammo have a tendency to to be condescending towards me (Cracker Boys especially!). The people who I met at this store the other day were friendly and professional. They made me feel at ease. BTW: Thanks for your patience guys!!!You will enjoy poking around here: there are bins of odds and ends as well as a healthy number of firearms available. I found ammo there that I have not been able to find lately. What I got online elsewhere was three times more expensive than here.

Bumped into this Lil gem a few years ago and when I was back in the hunt for a quality firearm I swung through. The entire staff is very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly as can be. Brian goes above and beyond to make sure you leave as happy as possible with your new firearm. Tons of great guns and not marked up a ton due to the current situation. Cant wait to get my next firearm from this place!

I bought a firearm online for the first time recently and used Marks store as my FFL transfer. Extremely easy and pain-free process using Marks store. On top of that, he has a pretty cool selection of milsurp firearms. I plan to come back from time to time to check out what he has. Highly recommend!

I had a trigger install done there for a very fair price. Great selection with a little but of everything. Had great conversations and also bought some surplus mags.I would definitely recommend this place to any gun enthusiast.

I am not currently a customer of Mark Kubes Firearms, but I will be. I mistakenly purchased the wrong ammo on line from Cheaper than Dirt. They refused to take the ammo back at any price. I am no longer a customer of Cheaper than Dirt. Mark Kubes exchanged my ammo at no cost. This is where I will purchase my firearms and ammo in the future. You cannot beat this kind of customer service.

Found this place over a year ago, made several purchase with them. Even in these tough times with shortages everywhere they usualy have what Im looking for, everyone there is friendly and what I like best is they just dont pounce on you, you can freely looking around.. and your going to want to look because there no way to see everything in one trip.

I highly recommend doing business with Mark Kubes Firearms. Mark has been around a very long time and Ive been doing business with them for years. Mark and his sons are very knowledgeable and they have stuff no one else has specially if it involves an AK. They have a good inventory on hand and can also order any other firearm they may not have. Transfers are reasonably price and I have never had an issues.

This place is great. I have been going here for years. If you want honest people that care about what you get, this is the place.Update 5.18.2020: I have always had good experiences with purchases and transfers here. This past week was the first time i needed some real gun smithing and these guys did not disappoint. Reasonable price and quality work they did exactly what I wanted/needed.

Bought my first gun here and was quite satisfied with their knowledge and service. I love history and they are one of the few places I’ve seen to carry military surplus. Do recommend!

Review №28

Nice Guys, knowledgeable and like others have mentioned some of the bigger shops in the area have some arrogance / attitude problems. Received two transfers here and went just fine. They are honest and willing to advise you to buy elsewhere and allow the transfer if they cant meet or beat a price. They have a decent selection an prices but I have a tendency to order very specific configurations of products. Only down side, no official Smithing work done on site or I would give 5 stars.

Review №29

This was the worst experience that Ive ever had! The owned, guy, got his panties in a bunch because my boyfriend wrote a negative review, of which I didnt even know happened. So, when I got to the store to pick up my gun the owner said that I couldnt have my already paid for, background check passed property because his ego was hurt. I tried to have a polite conversation with him to resolve the situation and he told me to leave.Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere the ower has the guts to talk to his customers, treat them as actual human beings, and not claim that everyone doesnt know the law, well besides him of course.

Found this place mostly by accident when I was trying to kill a few minutes before an appointment. the kubes guy was at a gun show and his son and another guy who, from what I understand, volunteered at the shop because he likes it there.kubes jr and the volunteer Rambo looking dude were real good to me. answered all of my questions and even stayed 30 minutes after closing on a Saturday so I could buy something cool.my new favorite gun place in the area.

Well I went in looking for some ammo for a couple of my firearms and while I was there I checked out a few handguns and some of their rifles and I am very impressed. They have a HUGE selection of Mosin Nagants and handguns. They have lots of parts and magazines and even magazines for the popular AR-15 and AK47. Its a smaller shop but its still a nice shop. I will be back to grab a few other things and maybe a couple of the handguns I was looking at. I highly recommend you check this place out.

I’m not knowledgeable about guns and went here to purchase a handgun. I stood there for like 15 minutes and was never asked if I need help so I left. What a terrible place! It was smelly and cluttered. Wouldn’t ever go back or recommend.

Review №45

If I could give them zero stars I would. The lack of knowledge was quite astonishing. Along with the tendency of being unnecessarily argumentative made my experience frustrating to say the least.Save your time and money, and go somewhere with a real selection and competent employees.Update: Youre an outright liar and uneducated on federal, state and local laws. You were mad about a negative review that was left almost a year ago. Grow up, and act like an adult, not a child, little man.My girlfriend and I travel for work, so while we live temporarily in Wisconsin, were Florida residents. This is why we did a transfer through Kubes in the first place. My initial negative review was for the poor customer service and lack of knowledge over the 3-day waiting period for residents without a CCW. Which is my girlfriend, as she doesnt have a CCW like me.With that said, we came back to Florida to pick up the handgun. We made sure that we got to his gun store a week early for the three day waiting period. After five business days, we came in to finally pick up the handgun. We came in, told Kubes himself that we were here to pick up a firearm and instantly were greeted with a rude tone. Kube immediately mentioned the negative review from almost a year ago.Honestly, I was kind of taken back as that seems kind of childish and petty to mention a review that was posted online almost a year ago. Nonetheless, I figured I would address it because of their poor customer service and lack of knowledge was quite startling. Before I could even a dress the review, he interrupted me to ask my girlfriend what kind of handgun it was. She replied, a glock 40. He then responded, you dont even know what kind of gun it is? I immediately intervened and told him that she was correct. He said that its an MOS, as if that constitutes it not being a Glock 40.He then claimed we were attempting a straw purchase. I then tried to explain to him that we werent attempting a straw purchase. At this point, he started to shake, as if he was getting really upset and basically said that he doesnt care. I continue to try to explain to him that not only are both my girlfriend and I Florida residents, legally able to own firearms, I actually have my Florida CCW, and have had it for almost 12 years.At this point comet he refused to hand over our legally owned, already paid for property, so I called the county sheriff. I then walked outside to make the call, and less then a minute later my girlfriend came out saying that he yelled for her to leave his store. After a few minutes the county sheriffs department came out, and told us that he would go inside and try talking to him and see if he would release our property to us. Of course, Kubes refused, and the officer even stated that he was drawing his line in the sand. Honestly, this is the most ridiculous situation that Ive ever had to deal with when purchasing anything, not just a firearm.So now, I had to call Grab a Gun, have them contact Kubes, he is supposedly going to ship the firearm back to Grab a Gun, and theyre going to ship it to a new FFL for transfer.Thankfully, Grab a Gun has excellent customer service and took care of it right away. This was by far the worst experience Ive ever had, between the childish and vindictive behavior, mixed with terrible customer service and a complete lack of even basic knowledge of state and federal laws was beyond ridiculous. This whole experience was overly stressful and unnecessary.

Review №48

I had never heard of this store until my best friend took me. Me, my friend, and his lil sister were looking for new carry weapons. Im glad he took me, I have since purchased multiple weapons there, the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and they have reasonable prices. Some gun stores are rude and arrogant and kind of talk down to you if you dont know as much as them and there are stores that try to pressure you into buying the wrong weapon just to make a couple extra dollars. NOT THIS PLACE. From my experiences with them, they go out of their way to match you with the weapon that best suits you and your needs. Its a small store, and if youre looking for something they dont have, they can order it for you, and many of their weapons come with lifetime warranties. I would highly recommend this store, but keep an eye out or you might drive by it.

These guys are lifesavers if you have a mil-surp weapon. I went there to pick up a replacement part for a rifle, and they installed it before I could even ask for the help. Great people to do business with!
