Mike’s Gun Smithing

5 out of 5 stars. This place was very helpful and fixed my problem with my Remington 700 with in 15 mins. Plain and simple this place is old school. This place is a man’s man shop so when you read all of these reviews saying the place is dumpy or it smells like smoke, well yea its a mans gun smithing shop. I would recommend this shop to anyone. If you know how to talk/​deal with old school gun smithers then this place is legit. The man at the counter also told me that they are a FFL and charge $ 75 (DROS included) for firearm transfers. Not bad.

No start wish there was a negative because they would get 5 stars o yea but negative very rude over the phone prices outrages not open every day once a or 2 a week not even 8 hours dirty dusty inside try other gunsmithing they suck

I called Mike’s because my series ’70 has been shooting at 7 o’clock. He asked if I had fixed sights, then recommended that I try aiming at 1 o’clock to correct the problem. BRILLIANT!!! Why didn’t I think of that?

Not really inspiring confidence here, Mike. I’d caution everyone else to read through the low reviews for this place. I wanted my trigger in by this weekend but I’d rather wait on someone who knows what they’re doing and what they’re talking about.
Scary.

I wished I had read these reviews before I took my guns there as they are spot on. This Mike guy is a nut. His attitude and demeanor is well know to law enforcement. I took some shotguns in the be repaired and he keep them for 1 ½ years and never started on them. That’s right almost two years and never even worked on one of them. When I went there and ask for them back he became very hostile and called me every name in the book. He threw the guns at me and threatened me. He and his two other cronies had guns on their hips and they placed their hands on their guns as described in the other review. I thought for sure they were going to shoot me. I couldn’t get out of there fast enough and even thought about calling the police on them. They smoke cigars in there which is against the law in the store. You need a butter knife to cut through the smoke. Anyone who takes a gun to this guy will be putting their life on the line. He is old and should have retired years ago. He lives in another state and commutes back and forth each week. There are plenty of other gun stores around so I highly recommend that no one ever pay a visit to Mikes. I don’t know how this guy stays in business. If you do go there I suggest you take someone with you and video the encounter with him on their cell phone as evidence.

Well, my friend called and told me he dropped off his mint condition Colt, Series 70 at Mikes. I told him I wish he would have told me before he did that. I have heard nothing but bad things from this shop. My friend said well they treat you like shit so I thought they would do good work. We’ll he got the gun back and the sights are crooked, the back site is dinged and the frame is dinged. My friend is an older guy, Vietnam Vet combat Marine who is a straight shooter and great guy. I believe he’s mellowed quite a bit and didn’t want to cause trouble. But this shit pisses me off. This guy keeps this 1911 in excellent condition it’s one of his favorite guns. Check out the pictures of the work they do.

This is what a gunsmith’s shop should be like! Cigar smoke, dusty display case, gun rack, and plenty of security. The staff there is professional as well as proficient, but if you expect to be coddled, you will be disappointed. I left a rifle there for some work (they did a great job on it), and when I called back to see if it was ready, the guy who answered was very polite, checked, and let me know that the work was completed and was available for pick up. I recommend this place.

Had taken in my ParaOrdinance P-​10 in for checkering and installation of my Novak sights… came out awesome… also had Trigicon Night Sights installed on my Glock 17…18 years ago… same results… perfect. On my way now to get a mag spring replaced and a sight adjustment… I‘ll be taking my stuff to Mike‘s always… great shop.

I have also tried to talk to the jerks there as I live in the area, and they act like they don’t want your business. I was treated llike crap when iI went with a buddy to have the front sight re-​attached to the barrel shroud, they acted like they were doing him a favor. The next week we went to the LAPD pistol range and the front sight fell off. Went back to try to get a refund and we were then treated like criminals. He placed his hand on a firearm and told us we were trespassing and that we should leave NOW (shouting). What a bunch of jerks!

What is this place? They took my gun, supposedly fixed the magazine release lever for $ 40, gave it back to me, and the magazines fell out of the gun after every shot. I figured out the problem was they put the wrong size lever on it. Ok, no big deal. I’ll just bring it back in and tell them the problem and they’ll be happy to fix it. Wrong. They keep it for 2 weeks and charge me $ 80 this time. I notice the same exact replaced part is still on the gun, so figure maybe they did something inside the gun (who knows) to fix it. At the range again, magazines falling out of the gun, not good. I bring it back and now they’re mad at me for even suggesting they put the wrong size mag release on it. A grey haired and bearded man behind the counter takes my gun, fires 4 rounds into a hotbox, tosses it on the counter (yes, he actually threw the gun) and says to me, «You don’t know how to handle that gun, it works fine». I shove the gun in the back pack, slam the door on my way out, to which I am then followed into the parking lot by the grey haired man who begins to shout at me while I get into my car. I eventually went to Evan’s Gun Smithing Shooters World in Orange who replaced the wrong part with the right part and did not charge me a dime for my troubles. If you want to be treated like trash by people who don’t actually fix guns, go to Mikes. If you want your gun repaired as if your life depended on it, go to Evan’s in Orange.
