I picked up a Colt 1991A1 on the used market for about $450, good gun no frills. I wound up putting about $600 into it to turn it into a custom piece. A buddy of mine said, "I saw this 1911 at the gun show I want to buy as my first!" I said, "Okay, what features does it have that you ...

CS Arms 9150 John S. Mosby Hwy (Rt. 50) Upperville, VA 20185 http://www.csarms.com/ Went up to CS Arms in Upperville on my way to Winchester a couple weeks ago. The shop is decent sized, there is a good combination of guns and Civil War relics. Most of the firearms there are WWII or older, if you're...

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.

Pawn shops don't get mentioned here a lot, but you can generally find good deals on firearms. I stopped by A-Z Pawn to check out a tool box they had outside, the tool box was in horrible shape, I went inside anyway. The shop is a mess, piles of tools lining shelves in no particular order. I looked a...

If you haven't seen this yet, it is quite interesting, these guys successfully converted two MN rifles to fire .45/70 cartridges. The rifles had to be rebarreled, if you've seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOjYro4w0Bc you know how hard it is to remove the barrel. http://pharmory.blogsp...

They did a fantastic job modifying my Colt 1991A1.

Looks fantastic!

Think it looks good in the pic? Wait until you see it in person!

Luis gave me a tour of Sterling Arsenal on Saturday. Luis was extremely knowledgeable and I was very impressed with the shop and quality of workmanship on all of the rifles he showed me.

The highlighted area below is kind of disturbing, if I am interpreting it correctly (I'm no lawyer)... If you are detained you must notify the officer that you are carrying, at that point he may seize your property at his discretion. If you refuse you may be found guilty of a Class 1 Misdemeanor, a ...

From VCDL HB 2069 - Delegate Athey - Constitutional Carry. A person without a permit can carry concealed as long as they notify law enforcement of the fact they are carrying if they are DETAINED - VCDL Supports the bill, but we want the requirement to notify the officer removed before we will Strong...

I took Bruce Jackson's class in Fredericksburg, when I lived in Fairfax. Bruce was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot of very good information. He's on the BOD for VCDL and his permit site is 4permits.com

You guys might consider contacting VCDL if your permits are not issued in 90 days.

I got a referral to Hatfield's Gunsmiffin' in Old Town Manassas, I took a 1911 up there, they seemed very knowledgeable and had some nice work on display. The tech showed me the 1911 which he was currently working on and the workmanship was excellent.

C&R holders can sell guns, but they are forbidden to be in the business of dealing guns, as noted above. Thus, buying a gun to sell it right away would probably be considered dealing, especially since you're offering a C&R holder payment for the service. Call Nova Armament, they had a couple...

Nutnfancy has some gems.

At that point, you rapidly approach the local gunshop's price. Now consider the value of having a local shop where you can ask questions, meet like-minded people, and actually handle the firearm you might buy, and there's your value. Probably preaching to the choir, but I built scale models for a w...
