Just a heads up: Ch11.ai - Bankruptcy Filing Alerts

Guess I need to make a trip this week and burn up the $100 gift certificate I got for my birthday last year before it's too late.

That was a cool shop.

i was just there recently. They didn't look like a shop that was going under. The place was packed!

Odd...

I went to their "old" small garage/store and have seen them at gun shows. I've bought from them before. They seemed to do a good business. Seem like good people, I was happy with the price and service.

I wonder if they tried to expand too big too quickly and had trouble managing their costs. I haven't been yet but heard they have a nice new shop and range.

My guess is they sunk too much money in too quickly.

Running a business isn't easy, there are a lot of considerations people don't think about.

I certainly hope they can turn it around.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve never been here, but I have heard good things about them.

I went shortly after the new shop opened. Bought my new carry gun.
Went last weekend to get some gunsmith work done on my 9mm 1911 (still trying to figure out the fail-to-eject issue). Bought some ammo (against my better judgement, but haven't had time to get to PA and need it for the rest of the competition season) and ended up delayed for 20 minutes.

The new shop is fairly good sized, and well stocked with firearms. Not so much with ammo, but I find most places in NY are skimpy with the ammo stock lately (f-you Jumbo James! and your little crotch-faced McD arched eyebrows zombie jackass, too).
They were PACKED last weekend, but the staff did their best to help everyone in a timely manner.

I've also toured their range. Nice setup there!
