Gun Shops near Fairfax, VA

Gonna have 2 nights in Fairfax. I want to do what I assume most Marylanders do... buy some mags!

Can anyone point me to a shop with ETS/Lancer/Magpul/GI 5.56 mags at reasonable prices? I suppose I can drive a bit as well, just didn't want to get stuck in big city traffic.

Thanks!

Best prices on mags in Northern VA are at Bullseye Guns in Leesburg and Quantico Tactical in Woodbridge.

You can hit up Virginia Arms in Manassas, although Quantico Tactical has 10 PMAGs for $90. QT does not carry metal AR mags.

Nova Armament is another good one to check out. http://www.novaarmament.com

Thanks all! Booked a hotel close to a gun shop (Nova Arms) 30 minutes from Fairfax. :lol2:

Would the new Cabelas location in Gainesville be worth the trip?

Do any of those shops sell powder?

Quantico is usually at the Fredericksburg gun show that's this weekend unless its been cancelled. call Quantico to make sure.

If you go through or near McLean (inside Beltway near Tysons), NOVA Firearms is also a very nice shop, MD-friendly group of people. http://www.novafirearms.com/

Never Order using the Nova Firearms web site even if they tell you to. It will take 3 weeks to get your stuff. This store is located in McLean VA and if they do not have it in stock they tell you to order on their website and you pick it up in their store. It will take 3 weeks. Longer than the 7 day waiting period and the people there cannot help you in anyway. Their shipping is the worst in the United States that I have seen. I have ordered a lot of stuff online and this is the worst I have see in the 10 years I have been a gun owner.

NEVER order online on Nova Firearms in McLean VA.

These are wonderful people. Buy only the stuff they have in the store. They will tell you that the issue with their distributors have been fixed. Fake News!! Do not believe it!!!!! Their prices are not the cheapest in VA. You are better off going to the Chantilly VA Gun Show.

I bought a revolver from Nova Firearms last year, when I was going through a Colt fit.

It's not a big shop. They have a nice selection of stuff, but nowhere near what the stores outside the beltway have. You'd be better off going further south or west. But because this thread is three months old, the OP probably has purchased his magazines already.

What the name and location of the gun store that had to fight the community and local zoning board to stay open? It may be worth spending a few dollars there to support their efforts.

If you're in Fairfax during the weekend of June 9/10/11, you may want to swing by the Nation's Gun Show at the Dulles Expo Center. Typically 1,000 tables. I go to that show often.

I'm pretty sure that was Nova Firearms, nice, but small shop.

Okay, wasn't sure and am too lazy to go back to find the thread.

Thanks!

It is NOVA Armory on Pershing Dr. in Arlington.

I did several transfers there last year.

Very easy to work with them, very professional but by no means "uptight."

Knowing that I was Pi$$ing off the wine and cheese Arlington libtard crowd by supporting them was an extra bonus.

That's what I'm talking about. Buy guns, support a local gun store and pi$$ off the libtards. That's such a winning combination. :party29:
