Anyone been in this place ?
I've been putting off to stop by everytime I'm on the shore . Usually I'm going south on 50 before daylight to hunt so that's oughtta the question . But maybe next time I can stop hunting early and hit it on the way home .
Anyway I had "heard" they had a semi decent selection of older doubles and perhaps a possible punt gun or two .

Never been there in person but I bought a nice skeet gun there over the phone. See my PP article entitled "Christmas Present".
Bill Murphy probably knows it best.

They have a $37,000 single barrel four and haven't come off the price a dollar for two or three years. They have guns on gunsamerica, but don't change them very often. Use their phone number in the advanced search function. 4108208811. I looked at the list a couple of days ago and didn't see a thing interesting. A visit is always the best way to see what they have.

A significant number of wonderful guns went to the Eastern Shore back in the day. Every now and then, one of these guns surfaces at Albright's.
The only known 16-gauge DEO-Grade Remington surfaced there a decade ago --

When I lived in C'town in the late 80's, a trip to their shop about once a month was in order to drool over their inventory, but haven't been there in several years.

I saw Dave's DEO 16 long before he did, but thought eight grand was a little much for a Remington. Today it is probably a $25,000 shotgun. I have done that before and will do it again. Congratulations, Dave.

Craig, what is your hunting situation on the Shore?
I've not been in on a lease since 1999 , so now I just hunt a few days each year on the Blackwater NWR .
Never shot at or killed a duck or goose in my life . The little Japanese Elk however draw me back year after year . I suspect I'm not to many years from pretty much giving up Whitetails . But as long as I can go a couple hundred yards thru the swamp/marsh on the Blackwater I'll continue to pursue these little guys .
The perfect scenario would be for me to buy 20-40 acres with a usable house on lower Dorchester County . But me finding what I want for what I'm willing to pay is a long shot at best .

Anyone know why they can't seem to keep a second gunsmith on hand? They are listed on their website for a couple of weeks or a month or two and then gone.

Having kinda worked closely with a semi young gunsmith for about 5 years now . I would say that gunsmiths are a fickle bunch , hence they may very well loose intrest in a place pretty quickly . Especially when working for someone as opposed to running their own shop .

Albrights was showcased on the Esq. network's show, "Alternate Route". Back in 2013 reruns of that episode come by every now and again. Nice-looking shop, full service. Never been there though. The guy on the show bought a Smith so I stopped watching:whistle:

I always stop when passing not far off my Route. Couple times a year I drive to Baltimore. Nice guys usually something to look at. Last time 3 or 4 Parkers. Rough DH tempted me price of bringing it back kept me away.

In the early 1920's, a consecutively numbered pair of PHE 28 gauges were delivered to the Eastern Shore. To my knowledge neither one has been seen or heard from since.

Sounds like the making of a good treasure hunt!

Nice Parker going up for sale on the Eastern Shore good chance it would end up at Albrights. Most of the other shops deal in mass market sporting goods & lower end guns.
