I bought parts to make my panic buy collection (fully) semi-automatic. The installation is a bit out of my mechanical capabilities.

Anyone know a gunsmith in NOVA thats reliable and works quickly?

Managed to get a form 1 approved and now need to get some engraving done. Are there any engraver recs in the NOVA area?

LGS recommended Sterling Arsenal but have seen/heard mixed reviews.

Ideally would like to wait and get it done same day if possible.

Appreciate the recs!

I have a rifle that I need minor work done on. I’d also like to have the gunsmith take it out and zero a new scope. Any good recommendations? I took it to Silver Eagle Group but the couldn’t accommodate the caliber (.338 Lapua, so that’s another requirement).

Looks like they got a order in. Misc gen2 and misc gen3 both window and non window. Also some other brand which I forgot name off. Some 33rnd Glock mags too.

This was as of 45mins ago. About three totes half full.

I love XCAL, and I'm most definitely a long term member and will continue to be. this is in no shape or form a dig against their business. especially how they're handling this entire ordeal! they rock as far as I'm concerned.

However, I'm considering pausing my membership till things get back to normal.

For the last 60 days (two monthly fees) I couldn't reserve time slots in a business friendly hour to go and shoot. and If I just show up in person, queue is insanely long. also, no sense in me paying 30$ for a private lane on top of my monthly membership.

for the time being, I'm going to peacemaker. but I don't believe this is scalable long term.

What are your thoughts? do you think things will cool down after August?

FWIW; I go to the range at least once a week.

I’m still pending my approval from my 4473 which was submitted yesterday morning. Has anyone been approved so far today? Just fishing for some hope 🥲.

Anyone at Xcal, trying to gauge queue times. Seems like the PSA link is dead and the usual one is frozen?

Does anyone know of or keeping a list of either:

1. Online shops nearby that can ship overnight to a local FFL within the next 2-3 days that you'd trust, or

2. Gun stores within 2 hours of northern VA (in VA not out of state) that have reasonable pricing on 9mm PCC's? Not really willing to pay a $500+ premium to a northern va shop

Debating a last minute MP5 clone, mpx, or maybe a kuna but a little flexible.

Obviously could do private sales as well if I found anyone that overbought or wants to reallocate funds.

I ran into Jason who formerly ran Brooks Cycles (fuck data centers). He opened up an FFL and he's been able to source things for me at a killer price. When you order through him you get a good price and no transfer fees.

If youre up by Aldie - totally worth reaching out to Jason

I was thinking about going to check out the pandemonium but ended up getting busy elsewhere. Was it nuts?

Basically as title says. I filled out my 4473 and paid the transfer but I am delayed. I was told delays clearing are behind by between 24-36 hours. Worst case scenario if I can't clear and get it today will be I can't get it until after the ban. If my 4473 is done, my delay is clear, and my transfer is paid is it legally mine? Would Xcal not be in violation by handing it over?

Any recommendations for fingerprinting in our area? Yes I know I’m late.

Hello, NoVA Guns. I was wondering if anyone knew of a gunsmith that can chop a PS90 barren and thread it to M12x1LH.

Thanks in advance.
