Virginia Gun Stores

Bonk · 08-18-2006, 17:36

I know that we GTOD'ers are scattered clear across the Commonwealth, but we do on occasion get out of our normal areas. As part of that sight-seeing, most of us want to know where the good gun stores are, like the post this week on whether Green Top is worth a stop. Heck, I have to go to Richmond next week, I'm curious about other stores in the area.

Anyone want to volunteer to run it up?

Lots of AR's, tactical handguns, and holsters. Good people.

Mostly hunting oriented, but with a pretty well stocked milsurp rack. Tends towards the overpriced, but they have always treated me right, and usually pretty friendly. Excellent stock of reloading supplies. I was in the Marine Corps with one of the counter guys.

When I am in Norfolk (which is about half the year) I usually like to shoot at A&P arms in virginia beach.....its laid back. The shop itself leaves a little to be desired though.

Bobs suffers from too many good ole boys and range nazis. IMO

I've found the exact opposite to be true. A&P *****es if you fire more than two rounds in 5 seconds and the employees in there are more concerned with pretending to be super secret squirrel ninjas than they are helping any one out.

The times I've been to Bob's has been quite pleasant and they didn't care how fast my follow up shot were.

Odd....

Fish Safari

It's not really a gun shop but they do FFL transfer and will special order firearms for you. I deal with them few months ago when we group ordered 10 AR15 receivers. They charged $10 per transfer so the money we saved was substantial.

Virginia Beach, VA 23456

The corner of Princess Ann Rd. and Lynnhaven Parkway. Just left of the Wal-Mart Super Center.

If you are ever in Augusta County you should check out Dominion Outdoors (http://www.dominionoutdoors.com/). It is a small store but very friendly. The are building a new store in Fishersville in the future which will be right off Route 64.

NoSuchStudios · 01-26-2007, 13:30

Over here in the Winchester area we have Stonewall Arms. its pretty decent shop.

And then there is our brand new Gander mountain just south of wincehster.

Both, if nothing, are good places to see some neat gear and have a good conversation.

Is there a store somewhere around Fairfax?

Olivers_AR · 01-10-2009, 14:17

There is a Dick's formally know as REI in Fair Lakes and one in Dulles Town Center (ammo, supplies, shotguns, long guns, no handguns).

The Walmart in Fair Lakes has ammo and the Walmart in Leesburg sold both ammo and some shotguns, bolt actions, muzzleloaders.

Silver Eagle Group (Sterling) just opened up.

NRA range has ammo - no firearms (other then the For Sale board) and no rentals.

Located just outside of Mount Airy, NC, just a few miles into Virginia. I don't know if any of you are in the area but I thought I would throw it out there in case you are.

Yeap, I've done a lot business with him, and worked with him for about 5 years. He also added a very nice 5 platform skeet setup, and a 100yd range for rifles with covered benches and a 30yd pistol range.

A&P Arms Lynhavenn shooting range Virginia Beach: Have bought 2 guns from them sometimes they seem a little busy and rushed but my 2 purchases have been met with great customer service and they honor LE/MIL program. I like that they ring up range members first to use the range so don't have to wait in line. The Armory in Chesapeake I have bought 1 gun from them limited selection in firearms but they honor the LE/MIL program as well with the normal wait time when ordering. For military the MCX in Norfolk has a limited selection but can order what you want I bought 1 Glock from them ordered it and 6 weeks later it arrived at the store. Superior Gun and Pawn bought a holster and some ammo from them did not like the "what do you want" type customer service.

Franklin Outdoors
320 Old Franklin Tpk
Rocky Mount, VA 24151

Well worth the drive if you are anywhere nearby. Just south of Roanoke.

It seems like they have more stuff than Gander Mountain and better prices than Walmart.

Check them out. Nice folks.

Open 7 days a week during deer season - How about that!

Example:basic Glocks $485 cash.

Powder and bullets much less than I've seen anywhere, i.e.
Hornaday bullets 38/357 HP box of 100 $15.99
Unique powder lb $20.99

Don't forget about Shooter's in Troutville.

I'd agree with this as well. They are where I bought my G23 last year after the local show. I used to work with his wife several years ago.

Great people and excellent prices.
