I recently brought a firearm that was double-firing to this gunsmith after seeing all the great reviews, and I’m glad I did. Leo got right to the problem and had it fixed in a timely manner. He also went above and beyond by sending me a detailed video explaining what the issue was and what needed to be done to correct it. I really appreciated the professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. Great experience overall, and I would definitely recommend Leo to anyone looking for knowledgeable and reliable gunsmithing.

I’ve taken several concealed carry classes while applying for permits in multiple states, and Leo’s class at Bolt Carrier Gun Exchange was by far my favorite. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and one of the most skilled shooters I’ve had the opportunity to take a lesson from. If you’re looking to obtain a concealed carry permit, I highly recommend training with Leo. He offers classes that satisfy the requirements for multiple states, making him a true one-stop shop. His expertise, instruction, and range of services make the entire process straightforward and convenient. I only wish I had found him sooner. I would have saved myself a lot of time by completing all of my training with him from the beginning.

Leo is the Consummate Professional!  Leo's intuitive insight and extensive expertise as a gunsmith enabled him to fix a problem that the manufacturer's tech support said was unfixable due to no available replacement parts.  Leo worked the issue, thought it through, and then fixed the unfixable.  His fee was very modest in my view for the time and effort that he spent working this out to full restorative function.  Leo is an Old School, Expert Ace "A" Mechanic at his trade in addition to being a genuinely good guy!  Leo is my go to guy from this point forward for any gunsmithing and/or training issues.  Thank You Leo!  Godspeed!!

I recently completed my CCW class with Leo, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I was actually the only student in the class that day, which gave me the opportunity to receive one-on-one instruction throughout the training. Leo was professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I understood not only how to safely handle a firearm, but also the responsibilities and laws that come with carrying one. The personalized attention made the class even more valuable, and I learned a lot. The range portion was a great experience as well. I qualified with a score of 47 out of 50 and left feeling more confident in my skills and understanding of concealed carry. If you’re considering getting your CCW permit, I highly recommend taking a class with Leo. The instruction was excellent, the environment was welcoming, and the knowledge I gained was well worth it. Thank you, Leo, for a great class and a great experience.

Leo is certified and licensed by several different training organizations and jurisdictions. He is also quite knowledgeable on the different processes for acquiring different states' and jurisdictions' CCWs. He gave good feedback on the range during my CA and DC CCW qualifications. His shop is the perfect place for military personnel who often travel out of state. He is friendly to Soldiers and veterans, and certainly a skilled instructor. -Luke JB MDL, NJ

Leo is Awesome.  Very nice, very professional and an all around Great Guy very approachable, professional and very appreciative.  I mean, For someone who never fired a firearm, Leo was able to teach me all the in and outs and the safety of a firearm as well as all the rules and regulations.  This guy will “keep you out of Jail” lol.  Leo’s classes are interesting and very informative.  It is worth every penny spent.  I also purchased my first firearm from BC.  Prices are very reasonable and fair.  Thank you for everything Leo.  I look forward to working and purchasing from you in  the near future

A Phenomenal Instructor and Experience I recently completed the 16-hour pistol safety and CCW course with Leo Anagnostopoulos at Bolt Carrier Gun Exchange & Firearms Training, and I can confidently say it was one of the best training experiences I’ve ever had. Leo is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also genuinely approachable, he creates an environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, clarify concepts, and build confidence. His command of the material is unmatched, and he breaks down complex topics into real-world, practical applications that make sense whether you’re a first-time applicant or a seasoned firearm owner. What really stood out was Leo’s teaching style, firm when necessary, but always patient, respectful, and encouraging. He takes the responsibility of firearm safety and legal education seriously, while keeping the atmosphere engaging and relatable. If you’re looking for a course that goes beyond the checkbox of compliance and truly prepares you for responsible concealed carry, this is it. I’d recommend Leo and Bolt Carrier Gun Exchange without hesitation to anyone seeking expert training. Thank you again, Leo, for your professionalism, passion, and commitment to your students!

Leo is one of the most knowledgeable and genuine humans I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He made Gun safety and CCW courses fun and engaging while still stressing the most important aspect, which is of course safety. His integrity is unmatched unless you’re speaking of his passion behind gun smithing. I won’t go to anyone else for my firearm needs ever. Recommend 1000%.
