NOVA Firearms Gun Shop

If you got a good deal or great service from a shop or range and you want to brag about them, here's the place to do it. Likewise, if you are unhappy about someone's service or feel like you've been ripped off, we want to know that too!

Anybody been to NOVA Firearms Gun Shop in Falls Church? I saw their flyer at the gun show in Chantilly. This should be welcome news to us here in NoVa eversince Dawson's moved to Woodbridge and the Loading Bench closed down several years ago. They were both located in Annandale at one point. They're open on Wed and Fri evenings and weekends.

Hadn't heard of it. More NoVa gun shops can only be a good thing, IMO. You'll haveto check it out and report back to us. :whistle:

Judging from their store hours, looks like they are part time only. At least they're open on weekends.

Hello everyone, I am the owner of NOVA Firearms. We are a new gun shop in Falls Church City with limited hours until we get sufficient customers to open for longer hours. Our current hours of operations are Wed & Fri 5-9pm, Sat 9am-5pm, and Sun 12-5pm. We do transfers in and out of VA. And we are available by appointment when not open to the general public. We stock Sig, Glock, Springfield, Taurus, and Ruger, several rifles and shotguns, as well as have lots of accessories. Since we are new to the area, we have very competitive prices. We hope to provide you with great service, and keep shooting sports alive in VA. Thanks for the postive comments and support as we get started.

NOVA Firearms is located on the second floor of the light blue 2-story Davies Real Estate building next to the Falls Church post office on the corner of Broad and Oak Street. There are several businesses in the building. The NOVA Firearms business sign says "NOVA" next to the front door. There is plenty of parking behind the building, but you may only enter through the front of the building.

Major kudos to NOVA Firearms! I was going to start my own thread but found this one. Dennis is great to work with, extremely helpful, and has a pretty nice selection for a small shop. Of course, he'll order stuff for you if it's not in stock. Dennis is also diligent about returning phone calls. If you don't get him at first, leave a message. I'm glad to have a quality firearms shop so close to Arlington.

Many thanks to Dennis for his help today and for opening up a shop inside the beltway with parking! I highly recommend Dennis and NOVA Firearms.

That's great news, Dennis!

You're very close to my office, so I'll have to swing by the shop sometime soon to check it out. :thumbsup:

For future reference, what is your current FFL transfer fee?

Congrats on the new shop! You should put a pic of your new store front on the web site with an announcement to let existing customers know.
