Valkyrie Arms closed till when???

[USACracer]

I was at Tracy Rifle and Pistol yesterday for a PPT pickup. I had seen this thread and asked if they were swamped with transfers and SSE, they actually said, no. they had lots of calls and emails, but only two items actually get sent over.

Just saying, the TRAP guys are nice and efficient. the PPT was 20 min, and the pickup was 10 min.

Shame to see Valkyrie go south in such a manner, I literally just spent 30 minutes reading this entire thread. Wow.

I know Felipe, Javier and a few of the "old guard" guys from there personally. Good guys who I always witnessed go above and beyond. Clearly, with the changing of the guard and the business issues / audit the shop tanked.

If Javier, Felipe, Tim or any of the old crew open a new outfit I would def. spend some more cash with them.

Has anyone had any luck getting their guns back that where in for gunsmith work? I dont know what more i can do now besides contact the authorities.

Really bummed to see things go like this and the shop just dissolve. I was in the shop around March or April as they handled the transfer and compliance of an underfolder for me and while they were slammed with phone calls, the one guy at the counter did his best to be as efficient as possible; figured it was just staff/scheduling issue. Odd thing was though, I called around the end of October about SSE'ing a M&P45C and they gave me a quote and timeframe and said to just let them know when I was ready to do it. Guess it was right before everything went south. Really hope everything ends well.

I've been following this thread early on when it was 5-10 posts. I'm totally lost now, and just want to know are they out of business?

Not trying to be a smarta**, but from a human behavior stand point, I am curious on why do we all want to know if VA is out of business? I see some postings asking when VA is reopening so they can shop or so bummed. With all these mess (more like uncertainty), you are ready to spend your money there and have a hold on your money (given they charge ahead) without knowing if or when you'll ever get your gun/order. It is capitalism... you vote with your money. The good survives and the bad goes away (or gets better only when they realize they need to get better because they are not getting the business).

The owner of that place owns two other business' on that block. You could always smoke some Hooka or grab a sandwich while waiting for someone to show up.

are you sure it's hooka? i keep smelling weed when i walk by around that area LoL

I'm in the same boat. I have a work order in, with no point of contact.
Has anyone gone by the Milpitas location lately to see if any notice has been posted
for those like us? Or are any of you close with "the old guard" Javier, Felipe, etc who can help us get in touch with Tim?
I'm on the Peninsula, so I can eventually get there, but hopefully someone who lives closer can take a quick drive-by peek.
Happy to see the SSE folks are getting some closure.

Plain and simple: This is not Valkyrie Arms. Whatever changes were made, it shouldn't reflect the original guys we knew when they first opened up shop in milpitas. Valkyrie's name should stay with the original crew as it is going to be remembered by many of us who dros'd our first sse that others at the range googoo'd over. We know this is not Tim's style. So simply said, I don't think Tim is involved in this ordeal. One of my biggest memories of that place "where's my colt"

I didn't ask for your academic view of human behavior, and I agree with your stand on voting with our dollars. Yet, I didn't gain anything from your post. The thread is so massive , some posts show that items are being transferred, or delivered. A post after yours reply actually helped far more than beating me down from your assumption that I wanted VA closed. A simple question got a what is the meaning of life response, which just left me in the same place, are they out of business, yes or no?

Just got my refund processed. Someone's there right now if you needed a refund or pickup.

Well damn, I miss the old VA in Milpitas. Haven't been buying many guns lately, so I'm a bit out of the loop.

[Paultheauditor]

That is deep.
Especially today with what happened at a Connecticut school.
