The Log Cabin Gun Shop

[Doc Ivory]

As luck would have it, I'll be up in the Cleveland area soon.
Is it worth the (seemingly short) drive to visit the Log Cabin Gun Shop?
It seems like its THEE place to go spend a little money

 

[NorthFork]

YES


edit- for clarification, I was born and raised in NE Ohio. I have been to the shop MANY times. A great place to put your wallet and bank account on a weight loss plan. Don't forget to check out the museum.

Yes, very nice shop!

 

[Doc Ivory]

I'm afraid my wallet is gonna take a "hit if I go.
I'll check out the museum though i don't think I knew they had one.
I'll be happy to see if they have any NW Trade guns, especially of the Barnett pattern on display

 

[Doc Ivory]

Yes, very nice shop!

Most of the black powder shops ive visited have been tiny. this one advertises at 10k sq ft. so they must have a BUNCH of stuff

@Doc Ivory

It's been a few years since I've been able to make the trip back to Ohio so I don't recall exactly what arms are in the museum. That said I don't recall any NW trade arms on display. A lot of Ohio and Indiana influence longrifles is what I remember. It's not a large museum but it is worth seeing. The Log Cabin people are some of the nicest people I've come across. Lot's of 'stuff' in the shop. As of a few years ago they still sold real BP. I think it was a 2# max limit or something like that but hey you always need an extra # or 2.

They do plus you will like the museum. I believe this weekend is their yearly trade fair as well.

Trade fair was last weekend, we made the trip from southern OH. Always have a list of needs, BP is in good supply there and no shipping charges if you go. Museum is amazing as well as the book collection.

 

[Doc Ivory]

I like that they have a good selection of of books.
I'm looking forward to seeing their selection and guns!
Not that I need another one...

 

[Doc Ivory]

It's a shame I missed the Trade Fair but I'm sure the store will be pretty impressive on its own

They were set up at a reenactment here in SW PA a good numbers of years ago with a huge tent and lots of very good thing to sell but I had very little money back then. I do have an old catalog of theirs here somewhere and I have purchased from them and they have excellent service.

On a good day I don't walkout of there w/o dropping $100+ or more. They have a policy of allowing campers passing by to stay the night in the parking lot. Used this blessing many times and of course managed to drop a bundle before heading out. Good people run this store. ..........oldwood

And therein lies the problem...
I may need to depart the store with aa bit more than I need.

You always need more

An artist needs more than one paintbrush" argument with my wife.

Not too sure it will "fly" with yet another gun. LOL!

they have rely expanded, and and are in a class with DIXIE GUN WORKS.

 

[jlutz]

I agree with the consensus. I love that place. I went back this previous weekend for the Trades Fair and could easily have a spent another whole day in the shop. Aside from the muzzleloader supplies, they have an excellent selection of books.

That's another place I need to visit though my only mail-order experience with them was marginal

You guys have me excited to go?

You can’t possibly have too much black powder stuff....
