- 1946-1950: Dr Wessel explores the possibilities in his hobby, on John R, north of 6 Mile Road.
- 1951-1955: Chandler & Gadday put their own spin on gun shopping.
- 1955-1972: Mr T. Z. "Al" Allen does a fine job for eighteen years.
- 1972-1974: Dick Coté & Duane MacKenzie almost get it right.
- 1974-1998: Duane's gone, Joe Coté is in and all is well with the world - and the shop is moved to 9 Mile Road, 3 doors west of Ryan!
- 1998-present: Steve's the new owner: what can we help you find?
Current staff have recently been told that the John R store had its own Phantom for over twenty years: it seems that a previous employee (and owner!) lived in the shop for more than twenty years, sleeping on a cot and taking his meals at various restaurants in the neighborhood... oddly enough, he drove a GMC pick-up with a V6, just like someone else we know...
