I know a bunch of us are in NoVA, so it feels appropriate to mention it here...
VA Arms has just announced via Facebook they are closing up shop. No reasons why were mentioned, but when I was in there Friday, things were looking a bit thin. They always seemed busy, so I'm not sure what the issue is exactly, but this is terrible news. They were the only good shop in NoVA, especially nearby to my house. Even my non-gunny wife felt comfortable and welcome there.

That sound you just heard was my jaw hitting the floor.

Here's to hoping Elite buys their remaining stock, excellent employees, and fills the gap.

I just saw the announcement as well; very unfortunate news indeed. I'll definitely miss having the option of utilizing Robb's excellent armorer services when certain projects exceed my DIY in the basement capacity.

It sucks, JV_ and I visited this morning, it's already getting picked clean. I'm going to miss that place.

That sucks. Best crew over there.
I’m not on FB, but is that the place where Tim Orrock works/worked?

Nope. That was Colonial in Richmond. Sucks to hear about VA Arms, hope everyone lands well.

That sucks.
Does anyone know what Robb would be doing next?
