    When I did an SSE transfer with them for my PPQ at the new location, I felt a lot of the energy was gone.

    I hope this gets resolved quickly.
    What color was their aura on these visits? Did you notice if their Chi was off?

      To avoid unnecessary speculations, Valkyrie Arms should be more forthcoming in providing basic information like when they will be open again after their "inventory" and "audit". Being vague only draws unnecessary bad presses from customers.

        Fact...they don't have enough inventory to excuse being closed for even 1/2 a day to count it.

        To be closed multiple days? Something is up, period.

          Hopefully it will all blow over, but given the number of complaints here in the past about their service (especially things like ordering guns, and apparently forgetting to do it - stuff that points to flakiness) I really do wonder what shape their paperwork is in. I hope we don't have a repeat of the Traders drama.

              If they closed on Wednesday and were still closed through yesterday, that's 3 full days to "inventory" a shop that doesn't have all that much to inventory. Closing during week (or during normal business hours) is highly unusual for inventory purposes. With the trade off of counting stuff instead of selling stuff (and earning revenue) something is clearly amiss. Inventory is usually done during off hours or on days the shop is normally closed. Strange for sure.

                Sounds exactly like my experience buying my SCAR 16 from them a year ago. I was pulling my hair off during that one month agony. No way to run a reputable business IMO.

                  Maybe they are inventorying their LE clothing, boots, and badges!!!

                    Uh Oh, they are done! People who have guns on order and picking-up are screwed! LOL JK

                    Something is up. I've never heard of inventory closure. All my LGS are always open.

                      Only used them once for an SSE, but in that case they were upfront about not knowing how long it would take to get the pistol, so I was pleasantly surprised when it came in less than a month. Hopefully they get whatever is going on straightened out, otherwise I'll have to drive even farther to reach the next nearest SSE shop.

                        They will never get another dime from me and they could have been my go to shop where I would have spent thousands of dollars on one gun and up. All the guys that made this place the spot to be are no longer their and they are nothing but incompetent liars who will try to rip you off anyway they can.

                        I leave my name and number for a rifle that I want, months later it comes in the wait time was not their fault I basically pre-ordered it months before release date. With Tim the manager at the time we agree on a price give or take 100 bucks still even 100 dollars more was fine with me.

                        Then it comes in and the owner calls me says I'm first in line but the price is 300-400 dollars more than what I was quoted. Say sorry I'll pass this time, then I find out he sales it to his buddy for the price that they originally quoted me. Man was I pissed trying to rip me off, then for many months back and forth I say to hell with it I really want it even at the higher price but now they mark it up about nearly 1000 dollars more if they can get one. Don't know if they said that because they couldn't get it or they didn't want to deal with me anymore. At that price no way in hell would I pay that.

                        To make it even worse I find a great deal out of state, they are on the FFL's list so I go for a transfer but the guy on the phone gives me the wrong info. The guy in the store says no he was wrong that they can't do the transfer etc basically wasting more of my time.

                        After all the headache I said forget them I'm not going their ever a again, besides they never have anything in stock anymore and when you want to order something it's like pulling teeth.

                          Are they under new ownership?

                            Just dropped by Valkyrie Arms to try my luck even though nobody picked up the phone. Surprised to find the front gates open and a couple of employees in there! But they are only allowing pick up currently and I got one of my lowers! They said they should reopen by Monday or Tuesday.

                              I've got a gen 4 Glock tied up in there. My waiting period was up on Monday, and I came from Monterey to pick it up this weekend... What could potentially happen during this audit, and is it likely that I will still receive my Glock in the near future?
