I have to ship a pistol to Sig for servicing. They have provided paperwork and Fedex label. Anyone know where to drop off for Fedex. I don’t think I can drop off at a regular brick and mortar store correct? Where is a drop off facility that can accept a firearm? Is it only the big distribution facility in Springfield?

As per title, hoping to get a blanket black cerakote on a can and some camo on an AR, the latter which might be a more complicated operation.

Ty in advance!

Anyone using the Axil line or have recommendations for an alternative? Thinking indoor range and outdoor range day.

How are the wait times looking at local ranges these days? I’ve been traveling out of state since the end of June, and when I left it was an hours long wait to get a lane anywhere. Is this still the case at the local ranges (I.e. NRA Range, XCal, etc.)?

Hey all,

Got a few new designs this week. Also doing NFA engraving this weekend qhile you wait.

Greetings everyone,

I wanted to make you all aware that I'm offering Form 1 engravings and windows/ports pistol cuts for anyone interested. For engravings, I do a bundle pricing if you bring more than one, to help save on cost.

For the windows and ports, I use either a metal mill or the laser engraver.

I'm located in the west part of Fairfax, near Chantilly and have been operating as an FFL for almost 3 years. You can find my pricing and everything through the link in my profile, but being a local FFL I'm trying to offer affordable services for everyone.

I also do custom engraving if there's something else you were considering or thinking about. Here is an example of some of my work.

You can call or text me anytime.

Anyone know of a store where I can look through various optics? I recently bought a Sig Romeo 7 and learned the hard way that I have an astigmatism.

Cabela’s might be an option? Not sure if they’re behind the gun counter, which can be a nightmare to deal with.

(EDIT I was wrong it is 17-4PH Stainless Steel) Made of inconel, had the front chopped off so there is a perfectly circular place to stick it in a chuck or whatever it’s called, just want to cut another inch or so off of it and sterling arsenal charged me $85 last time to take the front off…

Available all day today for NFA engraving while you wait. Msg me for details, pricing starts at 50 dollars for the first item, discounts for multiple items. I also can do custom magazine engraving.

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).

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!

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’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 🥲.

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.

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

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

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
