WINFREE FIREARMS, INC
4018 GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY (RT 17)
YORKTOWN, VA 23692

I stopped by this place today as well. They had a decent selection, but I wouldn't call it great. I looked at an old Romanian SKS that they had on the wall, but I wasn't impressed. They wanted $299 for it if I remember correctly. It was in pretty bad shape, and I'd say they wanted about twice what it was worth (though I'm no SKS expert)

If you're a smoker, they have a huge selection of cigarettes lol The lady behind the counter actually commented that she was sorry it took her a minute to come and help me - she HAD to have a cigarette over on the other side of the store away from the guns and ammo.

I really wasn't all that impressed with this place overall. I might swing by there again sometime if it's along the way just to see if they have anything interesting.

They did let me drop a short stack of VGOF stickers on the counter. That's always nice :)

I know the owner; he recently took over the shop from his Dad.

Last week I was looking to see how much they'd give me for my p226. Wouldn't take it for $300... not that I would have sold it to them at that price.

I don't think I'd buy anything from there because the prices seem a bit high.

I used to go there in the very early 90's while working at Amoco in Yorktown and it was a better shop then I think; Better selection and a bit more personal service attention ,, It's kind of sterile now and pricey..

Its one of those places you stop in every once in a while, they are helpful and knowledgeable about various weapons, and sometimes they will have something that others may not have. You have to get past all that nasty smoke though....... :whistle:

as far as being "pricey" I think that is all relative, I would rather pay a little more to do business locally . I think "pricey" is buying any gun at a gun show.

Hell anywhere is a bargain compared to a Gun Show... I always look for the banners,,,"Suckers Look Here" Overpriced stuff that you can get online or locally cheaper.Bargains are far and few in between the hype and BS.
