I am definitely sold on their customer service! Bill and Rick were excellent! They specialize in collectibles but there is an assortment of ammo and accessories. I found some particular Hornady 55gr .223 at a decent price($ 23.99…although you can possibly pick it up online when in stock for around $ 18 – 22, convenience in my belief). Overall, I’m very satisfied and they have earned my business!

I have been going to this place for over 10 years. These are the most friendliest and helpful people if you need help with guns, ammo and especially reloading. If you are a reloader, this is the place to go to. They have everything!!! From bullets to full in reloading machines. Leather belts, holsters, reloading parts etc.

Sold a bayonet and it’s sheath, and a knife to these guys. Rick was very fair in his pricing. The three guys working were all helpful, well informed, and good to work with. On another note, a nice selection of ammo, scopes, and vintage weaponry. Check them out.

I was looking 30 mm rings to mount a scope to my Anschutz 1770 rifle. After calling and visiting several shops who couldn’t help, I came upon LMC. Bill had the rings, mounted the scope to my riffle and bore sighted it for me. All the people there are very knowledgable, have a great attitude and give great customer service, I will be going back for ammo and reloading supplies, and maybe learn a thing or two. I am glad I found this very interesting place.

Always friendly, knowlegable, and usually have whatever you need. If they dont, they get it for you. The place has the feel when you walk in that youre at a friends house. Everyone there is a wealth of information. Even the guys that hang out that are customers. They are also very in the know when it comes to odball, obscure and large cartridges.

This place is simply amazing! If you are a reloader, you must go to this shop. They have everything you could want. If they don’t have it in stock, they will be only to happy to order it for you. What really makes La Mesa Collectibles stand out is their collective knowledge about firearms in general and reloading in specifics!

I walked in not knowing what to expect, but to my surprise I was immediately welcomed! These guys are really cool! They are very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all of my questions. They gave me a great deal on 200 rounds of .223. They also have a cool collection of firearms and reloading equipment! I would love to one day just sit with them and discuss firearms! Highly recommend them!

We stopped in to buy ammo for my Bulgarian Makarov(which they had). These guys were extremely knowledgable. Offer re-loading classes, talked to my husband about the equipment he received in a trade and were immensely entertaining. When I admired a civil war rifle there was absolutely no hesitation to hand it to me to get a better look. Great store, great knowledge and great stories.

Rick Vanriter at La Mesa Collectibles is the bomb. The nicest guy you’ll ever meet in a gun store. At the time of this review, he is waiting for his FFL to sell firearms, since he moved from La Mesa. The new address is in El Cajon at 1485 N. Magnolia Ave, El Cajon, Ca 92020 Their telephone number is 619−444−9291. If you are into reloading ammo, you must check out this store. Powder prices are good. Primer pricing is a bit high compared to gun shows or the interweb. They have a huge selection of reloading odds and ends. This store is as good as it gets for reloading supplies in San Diego county. Rick is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, and the other employees are just as nice. Bullet(i’m talking reloading components, not cartridges. If you don’t know the difference, look it up!) pricing seemed high on the shelf labels, but knowing Rick, you can probably ask for a better deal. I hope this store does well and stays open. If you love guns and/or reloading, swing by and give Rick a holler.
