717 Armory










Q: How much will it cost to use the range?
A: $20/hr ,$10/ additional person. Nice facility extremely helpful staff. Auto retrieve target system. I definitely live too close. Be there all the time
- Mark Forguson (7 years ago)
Q: Can u shoot rifles there
A: You can shoot any caliber rifle up to .50 cal.
- 717 Armory (5 years ago)
A: Yes, rifles are allowed.
- Gabriel C Doe Jr (5 years ago)
A: Yes, semi and full auto are okay to shoot. The habe rentals available as well. They seem to have one caveat though: they asked me not to shoot 62gr green tips (M855) out of my rifle since it's harder on the backstops. They may have a caliber restriction in place as well so double check before bringing the elephant gun.

A: No open to the public, but they do offer memberships with some perks.
- Duane Enterline (7 years ago)
A: IS open to public. Today (7/18/2018) was there and 1 lane is open to public, $20 per hr. Very helpful staff, they rent everything (gun, safety glasses, hearing protection and lane) or you can bring your own. Very nice place.

Q: How much for handgun rentals?
A: Check the website, not sure but think it varies a bit, but reasonable. Certainly worth it to see if you like a particular model better than another. Staff on site is excellent. This is one of my favorite places to go

All staff has been friendly and helpful every time I've gone. Plenty of shooting lanes. They have a good selection of firearms if you don't have your own or want to try a different weapon before buying your own. Last, but not least, they are close to home.

Let me preface by saying that I have purchased a gun directly from 717, had a gun cerakoted by the shop gifted to me, sold a gun to them, have had 2 guns shipped to this armory, and have had private lessons. This armory is not only the best in the area, but it's the best I've ever been to EVER. Pat and his team are not only super knowledgeable but also incredibly personable and friendly. At no point are they pushy and I feel immediately at home and welcome every time I visit. As for my lessons, GOD BLESS my instructor, Pat. In the few short weeks we've worked together, I've learned more than I thought I was capable of. As someone who seriously struggles with the space between her ears, Pat is just what I need. He doesn't push too hard but he doesn't talk to me like I'm stupid or baby me either. I'm not one to pull the "woman card" but every chick knows what it's like to be surrounded by dudes that think they know more than you and talk down to you regardless of your skill and I can honestly say I've never felt that way. Pat somehow knows before I do when I need a mental break and he's teaching me to be more confident in myself and my abilities every session. He doesn't just care about the money and the paper I put rounds through, he cares about ME too. His patience and calm demeanor are not only impressive, but refreshing in a normally stressful setting. There are people who read books, consider themselves experts and try to instruct based on what "should" happen but learning from someone who has actually 'been there and done that' makes all the difference because they know what it feels like through every step of the process. Whether I am on the job or at home, everyone is much safer because of everything Pat has taught me and I cannot thank him enough.

One of the most friendliest and helpful staff in the area for gun owners. Have done a few transfers through them and will continue to do so. Good ranges, nice selection on rifles and handguns as well.

Competent, considerate and cool! They had exactly what I wanted, and it was the quickest i ever spent buying a firearm. The background music they has was excellent, and had great lighting. This is not your grandpa gun-store. Would recommend.

Do not let them charge you for SilencerShop NFA transfers! SilencerShop (SS) policy is $0 transfer. Dave tried to tell me they were passing costs along to customers due to a change in SS policy but that is incorrect per their SilencerShop Dealer Rep. In fact, itΓÇÖs predatory as they get a kickback from every silencer sold through SilencerShop. Avoid this place at all costs. From now on, IΓÇÖll be buying from Trop.

Fun time. Great people who work there. Very knowledgeable and explained everything well. It was nice when there were a few booths shooting. It does get crowded on the weekend. Hand guns were nice and loud... Till the shotguns came around and if there barrel is visible from the front of your booth you will feel the fire in the next booth. All in all had fun and will be back for more action. Thanks to all in 717 Armory for keeping it clean and safe.

If I could give a zero star, I absolutely would. I had a part ordered here and was treated like, as an employee of 717 said behind the counter, "she doesn't know anything about guns". Not sure why this was said, I do not know anyone who works there. As a military veteran (88-92) it was very disappointing to hear this. As a current law enforcement type, it was even more disappointing to hear this. Maybe being an older, over weight woman, it was assumed I know nothing. After I post this, 717 Armory doesn't exist. And, BTW, I did get my lower from a reputable FFL who didn't treat me like a lower class citizen.

Nice place. 1st time there. Was treated with respect. Very helpful and explained how it works. Used MY OWN firearm, ammo, eyes/ears and targets and the still treated me like a high paying customer. Clean, organized and safely focused. Definitely planning all future trips to PA In and around the area to make sure that I include 717 in my next trip to the state.

My receipt shows how much you might spend here. 1 hour of lane time for one person is reasonably priced. The consumables on the other hand are priced very high. 9mm should be around 25 cents a round. I had to pay 50. So a bit of advice, bring your own ammo. The store is clean and the range is clean. The staff is friendly and the visit was smooth. Plenty of parking and was not crowded during my visit. Gun selection was ehh, wouldn't buy a gun here. In all, you bring everything for a fun day on the range, this is a great range.

Stopped by was happy theyre open sundays. First time being here. Huge building, lots of space. But I think Walmart has a better gun selection. Lots of empty shelf space. And it seems their guns and ammo are overpriced. I heard their inventory used to be awesome. Hopefully that happens again in the future but for now there are better gun shops in the area. Staff were friendly so thats a plus.

When I went in, almost all pistols seemed to be used. Nothing new. Very few rifles for sale. Like, probably less than 15. Limited ammo, still playing the supply chain issues card, although everyone else has plenty of ammo. If I had to guess, they are probably going to go out of business within the next few months, at least seems like it. Although looks like it would be a large store. It's very empty. No real accessories of any kind. Unless your going for the range, save yourself the time and travel to Trop gun shop or Bass Pro shop. You'll have a MUCH larger selection, and probably save some money Never used the indoor range. So can't speak to that aspect.
