    Wow, stopped by and had no idea both of these were shutting down forever. Was there some new legislation that caused this?

    Had not heard that, was at Vienna before Christmas, shopping for gifts. Never understood C&R's business model but had some great double rifles, if you were heading to Africa

    All they said on their Facebook page is that they lost their FFL. Not sure why or how. very strange...

    I got a few things from Adrian during the last couple of years. I'm sorry to see them close.

    I was at Vienna in January and the shop still had a decent selection but was not like other times I had stop in. I went today to see what they had left the shop is pretty much empty. It was a stark contrast from January. I did get a couple of mags and some small ar parts

    Rumint I heard was that their FFL was pulled due to too many problems with their paper......who knows the real fact pattern behind it. I used them on occasion but stopped when they hiked their transfer fee to $40.

    this would make sense. there a lot of reports all over the country with the atf shutting down shops for paperwork errors

    Shame to loose Vienna Arsenal. I live about two miles away and had no idea. Found some amazing deals in their giant used mag bins over the last few years.

    Called a friend who works at a LGS in Woodbridge and he says the FFL was pulled. Said his shop had a hard audit at the end of last year from ATF so the sloppy are getting slapped. No intel on C&R.

    Ugh. Gut punch. They were my “go to” for extended mags. Allowed me to order from Sig, shipped to store for pickup. This really sucks.

    I got my Dan Wesson Silverback from him way back for 40% off list price. He had a special going on guns from one of his suppliers, this was one of them.

    So what retail locations in Virginia (preferably in the same general area) offer the same selection and service that Vienna Arsenal used to provide? Expect to still need extended Sig magazines in the future.....

    Loudon Guns in Leesburg, All Shooters tactical in Woodbridge, SSG tactical in Fredericksburg and DK in Bowling Green. DK is on this board.
