Due to the new anti-gun laws in Virginia, HB21 specifically, I am buried in transfers. This minimizes the amount of gunsmithing work I can perform.

We are stopping all gun transfers at the close of business on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. This includes all types of transfers. There will be no exceptions. Any transfer gun left in the shop on July 1, 2026, must either be sent to another shop for transfer or returned to the seller.

As I do not know who to recommend for gun transfers going forward, I am not making a recommendation. Contact the local FFLs and discuss your options with them. Make the best decision for you. Share your decision with friends.

Starting 6/1/2026, I will get back to working on the shop’s gunsmithing queue full-time. When the backlog of work is finished, I am shutting the counter to outside work. With a backlog of hundreds of guns, it will take time. I will reach out to each customer in July/August to discuss the work and a completion timeframe.

From this point forward, we are no longer taking new gunsmithing work. I can recommend Purcell’s Custom Firearms.

If you have a safety issue, text us at 434-989-1263, and we will do our best to help.
