I just wanted to share...The help I received today at TMGN was genuine, and wholeheartedly appreciated. This young man made me feel comfortable and honestly made me more knowledgeable on the WHOLE process of purchasing and the process in itself. He was especially kind to my 4 year old daughter tagging along with me. Im just very appreciative of how he helped me, and especially how took the time to handle my situation accordingly. I wish I had gotten his name. Happy to spend my money there anytime. Thank you guys. See yall soon.

After waiting what seemed like forever for an employee to help me my experience got better. I will say the poor girl that was working the front counter was slammed and everyone else seemed to be busy doing other things. The guy that finally came to help was very nice and helpful. When I went on to the range I meet a range instructor named Chris. He was a younger guy that told me he was a marine and was more than willing to help me sight in my rifle. He provided easy to follow instructions on what to do and gradually adjusted my optic based on where I was shooting on the target. I actually learned a lot from him by him showing me how to do this. This was by far the best experience here although every experience here has always been pretty good. Thanks!

Questions & Answers

Can I shoot a 22/250 at machine gun nest?

Robert Gaston | Oct 6, 2020
David D | Oct 6, 2020

I shot a .50BMG there no problem. I think the only rules are that you control your weapon, and hit only paper and backstop. I never saw any limits on specific ammo. This is why I went there. Its a 90 min drive for me on a good day, and its worth the drive.

New to guns, what do you suggest for me, handgun, rifle?

Steven Nally | Oct 7, 2018
Bobby Gollan | Oct 7, 2018

Rifles are far easier to shoot accurately. Good way to build confidence in a new hobby, but you'll find yourself wanting to take longer shots in no time. Check out the Ruger 10/22, they're affordable & extremely customizable. If you want a pistol, don't be discouraged if you're not a great shot right away.. it's more challenging. Consider a few intro classes to learn the basics of safety & range etiquette. You can't go wrong with a glock 17 or 19.

Do you guys carry a 240B or a 249?

We have a 249 for rent. However with any machine gun, they require on going maintenance. I recommend calling the shop before going out to make sure it will be available that day.

Can I use my GAMO Air Rifle (pellets) there?

Alexis Gonzalez | Nov 10, 2021
Sirex 85 | Nov 10, 2021

I can't speak for the Machine Gun Nest but it is a firearms facility. You may be better off shooting your air rifle in a backyard that is appropriate, or setting up a pellet trap in a basement.

I don't have a proper case for my rifle, just the cardboard it came in, is it okay to open carry it on a sling into the building?

Thomas Colabucci | Oct 6, 2021
The Machine Gun Nest | Oct 6, 2021

It’s better to bring it in, in the cardboard case that you bought it in than slung over your shoulder. Our company policy is that firearms must be in cases when entering the building and in this case the box would substitute for a case.

Can I rent a gun to shoot at the range for the day?

James Sr. | Oct 6, 2020
The Machine Gun Nest | Oct 6, 2020

Hi James! Yes, we have plenty of rental options available. You can bring your own firearms or rent any of ours to shoot during your visit. Semi-auto rentals vary in price from $10-$15 plus the cost of ammo. You must be 18+ to rent rifles and/or 21+ to rent pistols.

Does anyone where I can take a Sheridan Blue Streak pellet gun repaired? When I pump it up the pellet falls out.

Sheryl Bradshaw | Oct 6, 2020
J Logan | Oct 6, 2020

I dont know if the machine gun nest does air gun repairs, I dont think they do. You may want to check with the gun shack in Mt Airy, I've only been once but that sounds like something they might do. Sorry I dont have more specific info. On the other hand, I've only had good experiences with the Machine Gun Nest so they may be worth checking with, they may be able to refer you to someone.

Are reservations required?

nicole walsh | Oct 7, 2018
Matthew Kenyon | Oct 7, 2018
