Came in with an m1a to have the stock swapped for a sage chassis. They said it would take about a week which is very reasonable. The next day not even 24hrs later got a call and it was finished, not only that but they went above and beyond and worked on a slight issue that I didnt even ask them to fix all for the original quoted price. Amazing service!

Dropped off a old Savage 99 needed a dovetail slot cut into a new barrel that secures the front forestock. Fantastic work great guys, friendly service met other customers while doing my transactions, very polite and talked to everyone for a bit while. Love this place!!!!!

This is the best gunsmith in Portland hands down! Theyve been there for years and Ive taken everything form shotguns to muzzleloaders there to be worked on.

Call for information about a Ruger Max nine they were very informative and helpful and had a great attitude

Very helpful. Prompt & professional service at a reasonable price.

Excellent place. Fast and knowledgeable.

CALLED, ASKED ABOUT A REPAIR,SAID THEY DO THOUSANDS OF THE REPAIR.TOOK GUN IN.SAID WOULD BE A MONTH.THREE MONTHS LATER NO WORD.HAVE CALLED TWICE.WORKING ON IT?I AM REFERING THIS TO THE BETTER BUREAU. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY,NEED PARTS ETC,

Only reason I’m giving them two stars is because I personally know folks who have had decent experiences with these folks. I have not. Brought in a revolver with cosmetic damage. I was told it would be about 3-4 weeks, two months later and they had not even touched it. They apologized and swore it would be done within the week. 1.5 weeks later and nothin, promising it would be done within the week. I’m picking it up today And I’m tired of getting dinked around. All I asked was them for a time frame. They could have said 4 months and I would have been okay with that as long as I got it back in 4 months. Although they have been friendly the whole time over phone calls, I feel like I’m being lied to and been given lip service. This is the first review I’ve ever wrote on google. I dont think this review will hurt these folks as there are only a handful of gunsmiths still around. It’s a dying profession and I do respect the trade. However all I received from them was lips service and a 65$ charge for them holding our revolver for 2.5 months.

Friendly and speedy service. I had gotten myself in over my head with a project on my rifle, and, while Im sure these guys were laughing at me on the inside, they were nothing but kind and courteous to me.Would recommend for all of your gunsmithing needs.

Do not go here! Over 4 years I have brought in 5 guns to them and they have only been able to fix 1. One I was able to fix with a screwdriver after some research at least they didnt charge me for that one. They others they said nothing can be done and I was charged full price. So 2 guns I was able to take to REAL gunsmiths and they fixed them, the others I was able to fix with lots of YouTube videos. After asking friends 2 other people I know had the same issues with allison and Carey they brought in guns to be fixed and they were not able to and still were charged full price. They do have a good used gun selection, used parts, and nice workers but are not able to even zero a scope. They will just blame it on the scope. Again go somewhere else to actually fix a gun.

I have used these guys for over 40 years and I have never been disappointed. They have always treated me right and done a very professional job. Great work, fast, dependable, do not have to take the guns back to be done over, they do it right the first time.

Great service, excellent craftsmanship and some cool old guns.

The Best! Allison & Carey is Portlands finest gunworks store. They know their stuff and I highly recommend them.

Fantastic service. They are amazingly knowledgeable, and quick to answer questions without trying to push a sale. Bought a .22 Beretta Bobcat after the person at the counter showed me not only how it worked, but how to fully strip it down with no expectation that I was even actually wanting to buy it. If I need any work done, Ill come here first.

Outstanding gunsmith service! Visit to the shop 5/1/2020, was made with across the counter, no charge adjustment. The they also have an extensive presentation of used rifles and shotguns.At a time of no gun shows any time soon, a good reminder of their inventory.

I brought in an older Winchester to see if they could help secure and align the front sight. The sight had fallen out during a shooting trip. They fixed the sight for me in a couple minutes and didnt charge a thing! In recent years, I always have a good experience when I visit. They usually have a good selection of vintage firearms, so dont pass them up on your next gun shopping trip!

Can’t thank Jake and the team enough for the exceptional cerakote work they did for us!The build turned out great and their attention to detail, care, professionalism, and timeliness made this process that much more enjoyable.Jake did an exceptional job at color matching and helping us select the right color palette fit for our goals.Exceptional all around and looking forward to the next project.

Treated Great!! The restocked my gun for me and did a great job.

Absolutely fantastic work and service. I took the bolt for my rifle in two days before the season opened with a broken extractor. I had been to several other gun stores with no help. Allison & Carey had it fixed in 5 minutes and at a very reasonable price. Thank you very much for the help. Allison and Carey will be my first stop from now on.

Great service by people who obviously care. Best l have had in 65 years !

Super nice and helpful guys! Had them install new night sights on my Walther PPS m2, the turn around time was excellent! Dropped it off Thursday and and picked it up Friday. They are now my go to gunsmith...... period 👍

I took a 28 Ga gun barrel to have them fit it to my current shotgun. It did not fit well and instead of trying to modify it to somehow work, they recommended returning it to Brownells. I ordered it over 6 months prior! Their advice saved me a lot of money as I got a complete refund. This is a competent and honest gun shop. Highly recommend them.

This was the best service I have ever had at a gun shop. They said it may take a few days to a week, but they called me the next day and said my gun was ready for pickup. I was very pleased with the work that they did and the cost was less than I was quoted.Thank you so much Allison &Carey Gunworks Inc

Needed to have the trigger replaced on my Remington rifle as part of a recall. Theyre the only Remington Authorized Repair Center in the Pacific Northwest. Being as I live in the Seattle area, I was expecting to have to make 2 trips to drop off then pick up my rifle. I called the day before to explain the situation, and Jeff quickly had my repair done in a few hours, allowing me to drive to Portland from Seattle and back again with the service complete in the same day. Thanks, Jeff!

I’ve taken several firearms to A&C and have been exceedingly happy! Courteous and very knowledgeable staff. Last visit they fixed a manufacturers problem on a new pistol, free of charge, while I waited! Saved me a massive headache of getting RMAs and returning to the manufacturer. A&C is the only firearm repair shop I use.

I had an issue with one of my Glocks that I could not solve. I brought it in showed them the situation and they handled it. the turnaround time was very quick, I was treated with respect and the cost of repair was reasonable. They earned a new customer. thanks guys.

I bought myself a Remington 700 with a 24in barrel, and wanted it to be cut down to 18in for brush hunting.A local gun shop told me about Allison and Carey, and I decided to try them out.I managed to get there 10 minutes before they were closing, and they were very friendly. The Young man working there noticed that I was missing a cap on my scope, and managed to find a replacement for it.I have to admit I was shocked when they called me the next day and said my rifle is ready. Not only was my rifle done in a timely manner but it was a very professional job.I will definitely come back to this friendly welcoming professional business again for my Gun needs, also they had some really awesome vintage guns for great prices

On 1/25/19 I had the recall work performed on a Remington 700 @ A&C, dropping the gun off about 10 a.m. Ran several errands and received a call from my wife that the gun was ready. You could have bought me for a nickel. Very surprised and very pleased. Great work!

Dropped my gun off at their shop for the Remington recall only to find out it had to be shipped back to Remington. Jeff and staff took care of everything and went over an beyond to make sure this was taken care of and even shipped it back to me so I wouldnt have to drive the 100 miles in. They have my vote for any work needing done. Thanks guys

Haven’t visited yet but spoke with the owner over the phone and he was polite and helpful with my questions. I look forward to seeing his store in Gresham!

Terrible customer service. They told me it was usually a ten day turn around. I called, to find out about the status of my gun. No one answered or called me back. After two weeks I called again, and was told my gun wouldnt even be work on, until at least the next month. I will never go there again, or recommended it to anyone!

Two weeks ago I took my new Remington Mod 700 to Allison and Carey, an authorized Remington repair shop, for a replacement trigger after having been notified that my rifle was on a national recall.I delivered my rifle to them on a Thursday morning for the authorized service and received a call the following Monday that the recall replacement trigger had been installed. Since I live about 75 miles from the shop, A&C shipped my rifle to me, which I received the following Wednesday.All in all, the service was excellent, with the very minimum of time required for the authorized repair. Jeff was very helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable on the Remington recall.I highly recommend them for your repairs and any specialized gun smith work.

Full disclosure..... I havent made it in yet, but I will be going and will give another review afterwards. They have stepped up and made a donation for our Oregon Hunters Association chapter banquet and after talking to several people, Im looking forward to backing up this review with my own personal 4 start review.

Ive done business with Allison & Carey since 1980. They are the best gun smiths in the Portland area. There work is excellent and prices are fair.

Very friendly environment and awesome helpful employees go here and you wont be disappointed

This is a great place with great people, these guys know their stuff with guns. I have been going here for many years and if you want it done right this is your place!

These guys know what they’re doing. Jake took care of me on the spot when 3 others couldn’t.

Great service, fixed my Remington sight in less than 5 min free of charge!

Helpful knowledgeable and do great work. Highly recommend them

The people that work here are awesome. They are real friendly & helpful. Jeff told me my work was going to take 2 days but he did it in less than a day. Thank you for your great customer service.

I had a recall on the trigger for my Remington 700. Instead of sending it to Remington and probably not getting it back for 3 months, instead I drove 2 hours down to Portland. Glad that I did, these guys were great. I dropped off my rifle, with expectation to be a few hours. They called me in 45 min and told me they were done. Just like that, in and out. Including adding a picatinny rail being bought and installed.

If you need work, come see the PROS!

They were not only unable to repair my handgun after 4 weeks, they lied about what they were doing. Tried to charge me 65 to ship it back to S&W, which S&W pays for shipping. All in all these people should learn some customer service skills and how to be honest, very unprofessional. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS.

Rifle jammed. They got it workin like hot butter on a biscuit. Really nice folks. Highly recommend.

I found and bought a barrel for my Remington 870 Wingmaster from these guys after calling every source I knew to replace the shorter barrel that came with my gun. However, after a few hundred shells trap shooting the rib separated. Had to be a manufacturing defect. I took it back to them thinking maybe they could re-solder. Instead they suggested I leave it and ket them send back to Remington for a possible replacement. BAM!! I picked up the brand new barrel today. Awesome, friendly, service. I drive from Lake Oswego past at least one gun shop to do business with these guys. Highly recommend them. By the way the shop is definitely eye candy for hunters.Bill Lamberth

I have had work done on a BHP; the trigger was hard to pull. Also had work done on two shotguns. Both jobs were very satisfactory as was the price. On one shotgun, the factory paid for the work and there was no charge.

I bought a barrel from the factory for my Left-hand 1187 Rem Premier 12 ga. because the collar that holds barrel on gun cracked at the gas port area. After replacing barrel, the gun would not cycle correctly on opening day of Duck season and I was leaving the following week for a N. Dakota Pheasant hunt. On the following Tuesday I took my problem to Jake at Allison & Carey, he broke down gun while I waited, asked me to leave it & said he would have it by Saturday for my trip. He called 3 hours later, gun was fixed and ready to go. That is outstanding service!! Thank you Jake for taking pride in your craft and care for your customers.

Fellow Shooters...I recently had issues with a new Cynergy Classic Trap Combo w/adjustable check comb & gray laminated wood. I ordered the firearm from a local Sporting Goods Store in late June. When I finally received the gun (11/15) it was defective in that the forearm did not securely latch on the O/U barrels.After contacting Browning and listening to Mike Sieberts (Browning Customer Service) disinterested and cavalier attitude. I contacted Allison & Carey and Jeff was available and took time from his hectic schedule to listen to my concerns. Jeff being an authorized Browning Firearms Gun Smith ask me to leave the firearm and said He would take a look. Within hours Jeff had fixed the issue and the firearm was ready to pick up.Although this may have been a simple fix and seemingly not a big deal! What is special and meaningful about my experience with Jeff/Allison & Carey was his understanding of the situation and concern for repairing the defective firearm.Thank You Jeff...Dave F.

Rifle was fixed for the 700 recall, and picked it up the next day. Old school type Gunsmith shop. Great people and excellent service!

Had a problem with 308 model 100 wouldnt eject they repared it and changed old fire pin that was on recall list and set front sight and pinged it got it done fast and did a great job shoots great and ejects fine thank you for doing a great job the first time its going hunting now lets see how we do

My family has gone here for years, always very friendly and knowledgeable. All around great shop with friendly staff.

Excellent service, friendly people, and they fixed my rifle, .17 HMR by H & R, quickly and professionally. In fact, I did not ask if it was under warranty, they did it on their own and repaired it for free. They were friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend them to others. And yes their guns are pricey, but nowadays everyones are unless you find a private seller.

Very friendly and inviting atmosphere, also a knowledgeable staff and they were able to fix the issues I was having quickly and efficiently . I will definitely be going back

Great work better service wont take my guns anywhere else

I had recently found a 1917 endfield in my grandmas attic. This rifle had been sitting there for 60 years,I brought it in for an inspection and cleaning, we wanted to make sure it was safe to fire. They wrote up a service slip and I asked what the ETA was going to be,I explained that we were super exited to fire this rifle, the gun smith kindly replied about two weaks. Business being business I was fine with that, the 1917 hadnt seen any action in 60 years any way. To my surprise the phone rang early the next day my rifle was ready to be picked up,I thought the worst, not knowing if it needed extra parts or maybe its to old to be useful any more. I drove down there and the gunsmith said I had a heck a rifle and a heck of a find, they were built solidly back then and it was in near perfect condition! Its old but safe to fire. I am pleased that they didnt try to up sell me on things that I didnt need they were kind proficient and really know there stuff! Thank you!

I have used Allison and Carey for years. Great guys, very knowledgeable and straight shooters.

The WORST service I have ever had, extremely sub par workmanship and lack of professionalism. My rifle was sent here for a Remington warranty repair. I am admittedly very particular about my rifles and want things done right, especially since this was a brand new rifle. The repair was not fully completed and when I pointed out the issue they replied that they couldnt see the issue and that there was no problem, although both me and my wife could see it and others that I have shown since as well. There where also scratches in the receiver and bolt handle from reassembly. They became noticeably agitated that I was not happy with the work and instead of working towards a solution became very rude and told me if I wasnt happy with the work to send it back to Remington instead of backing up the work they had performed. I will NEVER return and will advise anyone I know to stay away as well.

Very disappointed. Was directed by Marlin to bring in my Guide Gun to Allison & Carey for warranty work. After 3 weeks, they still hadnt looked at the rifle. Even to determine if it has to go back to the factory. I ended up picking it up, and will call Marlin to express my disappointment and find another gunsmith.

60 bucks for a sight swap on my glock. Then they directed me on how to get my mark 3 fixed. For free. Spendy but refused to RIP me off.

The guy fixed my gun in like 5 seconds. Ive been coming here for a couple years and they always did great work for a good price. If you have a gun that needs fix, bring it here.

These guys are the worst, I brought in 2 Rem 700s for the recall fix and had a barrel swap on one of them as well. They claim on their site its faster to go to them than to Remington for the fix. I took my 2 guns to them the last week of Oct 2014 and just got them back last week. THEY HAD MY GUNS FOR OVER 5 AND A HALF MONTHS! I kept calling and was told it will be done soon and next week then after about 4 months I called and pushed back about the length of time they had my guns and the guy was extremely rude. He tried to blame it on Remington and they had just gotten triggers in after waiting a month. I asked him about the previous 3 months with no answer. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE and ATTITUDE. I will never take anything there again and would encourage the same of others.

Allison & Carey re barreled my 7mm STW and did a great job. I could not be happier.

Friendly and quality work Ive been a customer since 1985, never disappointed.

Recall work on my Remington 300 UM. Excellent service, very friendly, and turned it around in 15 minutes while we waited. Thank you so much guys!

Keiths better. Srry bub

The guy named Brian is an arrogant man with zero customer service skills. Until I see someone else behind the counter I will refuse to walk in again.

Hadnt been in the shop since I moved from the area 15 years ago.there was still.some of the over priced used guns from back then.owner is arrogant.

Staff was friendly and very patient with a customer who wanted them to do some custom work on their shotgun/rifle/something. The customer was hard to follow since they didnt speak English. But dont buy ammo here. $1.00/round for Tul 7.62x39. Thats all I have to say.

Only sells used guns. I prefer new.

Poor customer service.

I have been to this location at least three times and never once got even a hello. It surprises me that this place hasnt gone out of business yet.

Super nice guys
