Ape Tactical Firearms & Gunsmithing

Ape Tactical is a Veteran-operated business that offers consultations for purchasing firearms and home protection, as well as personalized crisis and survival counseling and training. Most gun dealers will sell you what they have instead of what you need. We offer a full-service gunsmithing shop and retail sales to serve the growing needs of the Tri-Cities of TN/VA. We will be here to help our customers and to make your firearms dream projects a reality. Whether you want a traditional branded firearm or one custom-built by us for you, we can service your exact needs. We offer various services, so whether it’s just a simple cleaning to get your gun back in shape or something much more complex, give us a call, and we can assist you!  We have 2 full time gunsmiths on staff.

We are located at 947 Volunteer Parkway, in the same shopping center as Autozone and across from Pals on the Parkway in Bristol, TN. We are open Tuesday through Saturday with hours of 10:00 AM to 5:30 PM T-F and 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM on Saturdays, and closed on most National holidays. We accept transfers from any online seller so you don't need to call first.
