Hello from Charlottesville!

Post by ParagonDefense »

Hello all,

My name's Cyril. I'm 23 years old, and live in Charlottesville. I attended UVA to study mechanical engineering for a while but ducked out after deciding to start up a business here. After a while working with automation controls and fabrication I got more and more into machining and materials.

I've been building up a respectable size machine shop for the past two years, and instead of going the automation tooling route with my business, I got my 07 FFL this past year. I'm working towards doing a number of different caliber AK and AR builds by the end of this year, along with getting in-house CNC fabrication and and barrel turning going. Retail operation just started a week ago, so I'll have lots more info to share in the near future.

Hope to see some of you around!

It's at the end of Goodman St, a block and a half over from Spudnuts and the Belmont bridge. Pretty much right next to the railroad tracks. I have a suite in one of two big pink buildings right at the end there. A bit hard to miss.

I'm doing $30 transfers and have a decent amount of AR and AK parts and furniture, a couple 1911's, and hopefully alot more stuff coming. Still getting the retail area painted and organized, but the ball is rolling.
