Geeze...........took long enough. That place was expensive for virtually everything. Without the firearms it really didn't have a lot to offer. I frankly don't know how he lasted this long.
I was surprised that he didn't find someone else to be the FFL at that location and he could ply his trade with all the gear he had there. While not a bargain basement price place it did have a lot of stuff that we'd normally have to order from a catalog, prices not withstanding. Too bad. That place was 3 deep at the counter when their sale was going on and I bought my fair share of hardware, too. Rome |

Yep. Used to be my go-to store, bought a couple guns there and plenty of bits & pieces. Everything used to be fairly proced but after the panic and the loss of the FFL they really had to jack their prices and they just never dropped.
Im surprised they didnt do some kind of liquidation event . . |

During the height of the panic I went there looking for 5.56mm ammo and powder. They had some powder when nobody, including online, had any.
At the same time I was in the market for a 1911 and there were none at local stores. Riverview had lost the FFL by then but under the shelves you could see literally dozens of brand new Remington 1911s. I wonder why they never sold them to an FFL? |

They had half off ammo and powder last week. That brought most prices back line along with good deals on ammo like 6.8 and 300blk.
Like most, it was surprising of long the store stayed open. |

I was in there talking to the lady 2 months ago and she said he was thinking about closing shop and selling their merchandise to a few local shops that he knows. Too bad, I can't say I'm surprised but I was hoping they would bounce back some day.

Agreed. I know the shop had issues, but this kinda feels like a victory for Da Man. FDM!

What happened to northeast shooters? In Windsor Locks, Chris from Riverview I think was the owner?!

He has limited hours, but is still going. I bought some pistol powder from him a few weeks ago.

I attempted to order some taco G2's and a couple magpul stocks from them in person. I stopped back in every Saturday for 3 weeks to check on it. They were never ordered. The counter person asked me if I knew about Midway and said I could probably get them there.
