F in customer service!! I left my gun needing work and was told it will take a while, but I was ok with that. I let a month go by, then called and left a message asking for status. No response. Left another 3 days later. NO RESPONSE. Then I called and got him, he was angry and said If he gave status I would be on the phone all day! There is more, but this guy said I am actually retired, so I DONT RECOMMEND him, and think twice before using them!
I was visiting family nearby and just popped in to see if he had anything I’d like. I had been looking for weeks and no shops had anything. He had a rifle I liked at a very reasonable price. I really glad I stopped in. I’ll certainly be back.
Excellent 1911 smith. I brought Mike my Kimber with an Ed Brown match barrel and bushing which needed to be fitted. The bushing was too loose in the slide grooves so he replaced it with a Kart bushing and test-fired it. Turned the job around within one week. The gun is more accurate than it was before. Cannot speak to his experience with other platforms but I would not hesitate to recommend him for tuning the 1911.
Unbelievable! I just tried to call and ask if they have gun smithing services (a simple question) and...click. Was hung up on. Unbelievable!
Great job thanks...
I want to stand up for Mr La Rocca and say that he does fine work. I purchased my first firearm from him, and he had done a superior job on it. He also sold a rifle for me and gave me a very good return. Enough said.
I look forward to visiting each and every time. Whether its just to poke around his inventory of collectibles and range beauties or to inspect and recondition new purchases of used firearms, Mike larocca has been a friendly and knowledgeable host and professional. Reliably excellent work for simple parts replacements or more complex jobs, he has a great understanding and working knowledge of a wide range of firearms from antique to current. Prices are fair - not great - but he stands behind every piece of work and sales.
Best Gunsmith in the business! Takes a little time due to his workload but does topnotch, reliable work! I would take any of my business to him.
Mike has been doing all my gunsmith work for over 30 years.He is a consummate professional and I have never been disappointed in his work. He has a nice selection of pre-owned firearms also
Cant really recommend this guy. I guess some folks have had good results with him (hence two stars) but I found him rude and not very well-versed in state and federal law. Just be careful. Take what he says with a grain of salt. The man must have skill or he wouldnt still be in business... but in my view there are far better choices.
Mike LaRocca is one of the best gunsmiths around. He is the only gunsmith I will let work on my carry guns and that in itself means a lot. The prices he charges arent outrageous considering the top notch professional work he does and he never tries to sell you something or do work on a gun that you dont need, in fact he often tries to save you from doing unessessary work.
Was charged $100 to have a metal burr filed off my trigger mechanism. This is no exaggeration. Way over priced work.
I took my m1 garand to put a new barrel he did a good job it took like 3 or 4 weeks to get it done good guy is a little bit expensive but overall he did good
Went to the shop with literally a few thousand dollars to burn. Stood in the shop alone at the counter waiting for him to get off the phone talking to a buddy about a hunting trip. After about a half an hour, I took my money elsewhere.
Very knowledgeable.
