Hellebuyck's Trading Post

Great bunch of guys, it's half gun store and half antiques. Unfortunately as of now they no longer offer FFL (gun transfer) services due to the amount of paperwork required now by the tyrants. They still buy and sell used firearms however and have a range of selection of firearm accessories such as lower receivers, magazines, mag loaders, sights, ammo, etc.

1st time shopper, life time customer! This place is great. They truly make buying a firearm fun. The owner immediately puts you at ease and has a wealth of firearm knowledge as well as many other topics. His wingman keeps the laughs coming. Happy I decided to shop here!

My first purchase of a hand gun could not have been more comfortable the owner was patient and showed me the in and out I will be back to get another gun or just to talk they treat you like family!!

Great selection and great staff. Not your typical gun store guys that treat you like your dumb. Highly recommend Hellebuycks if your a first time buyer or a gun nut.

I have visited Hellebuyck's three times now. The first time was curiosity, the two subsequent visits were to purchase firearms. Both purchases were pleasant experiences and RC is a super nice guy and he will not make you feel badly if you are new to firearms. My first purchase was a used handgun which turned out to be a good deal and a solid firearm. My second purchase was a new pistol. I wanted to avoid the difficulty of making this purchase at big box store (a recent purchase at a big box store took 3 attempts and more than 6 hours that I will never get back). I remembered what a great experience the Trading Post was so I headed out (it is more than 50 miles from my home). Calling in advance they put the gun aside for me. When I arrived, I was able to purchase the gun, extra magazines and self defense ammo (for a different firearm) including the background check the whole thing took less than an hour and during that time they handled my transaction and other customers, we had some nice conversation and I left a satisfied customer. Another thing about this place, they are super knowledgeable and I cannot stress this enough, NOT gun snobs.

They're lucky this place isn't in my neighborhood, because I'd be cluttering up the place all the time.

Lastly, for me at any rate, it's a gun store with an antique shop inside.

Keep on keeping on!

This is my go to place for anything I need. RC is awesome. Very knowledgeable and helpful. I do not even bother going anywhere else. He offers everything you need. Customer service is great, products are great, FFL transfers are easy and quick. 5+ stars.

Usually not one to leave reviews, but this place is amazing. I bought my first handgun and had it shipped here quick and the guy was very helpful. I recommend highly if anyone is looking for a good FFL dealer in the area.

Honestly my best experience in a store of any kind in my entire life!

Got to see my gun opened up and had the exact mag I was looking for!

Great guys, great business, great prices!

Very friendly, and knowledgeable. Selection changes so always something new.

Purchased several firearms here. Customer service is great, selection and price were also great. If you are looking to shop for firearms, supplies, it is on the smaller side, but WELL worth the stop here. Hands down better than the the big box store. It's like getting a haircut at "Floyd's barber shop" in Mayberry!

Awesome place! Definitely going to be purchasing more firearms from here in the future! A+ experience and very helpful!

Recently purchased my first pistol here. RC is an awesome salesperson! Of course I had a lot of newbie questions. I didn't hear him laugh, or see him roll his eyes once. He showed me how to disassemble/assemble the pistol. I will definitely return here, if I ever decide to make another purchase.

Went in shopping for a rifle, ended up getting every question answered respectfully and honestly. If you're new to gun ownership or a seasoned vet, this is the place to go. 10/10 I'll be shopping here often for sure.

Very friendly and knowledgeable attendant. Nice variety of antiques and guns. Reasonable prices. A pleasant place to be.

Hands down the best store in Lapeer.

Bought a few pew pews from this place great people

Outstanding!! How did I not know about this place until now? RC is one cool dude! You wanna know something about firearms?....he's your man. If he doesn't have it he'll find it for you. Very pleased to do business with this guy. I WILL be back for more!

Very helpful, friendly atmosphere, knowledgeable - everything you need to purchase with confidence. The first place you should stop to buy a new or used firearm (or antiques with a real “old Michigan” feel).

I look forward to buying from them again.

Its the only place i will go to purchase a new firearm and accessories.
RC is always kind, honest and fair!
Weather its a purchase, trade in, or sell!
I give him 5 stars and recommend everyone to stop in and check his shop out!!

RC was very informative and patient. Even hooked me up with a free hat with my purchase! Undoubtably an outstanding business owner. Thank you RC!
