Valkyrie Arms closed till when???

[Sutcliffe]

Open as of 2pm on Sunday 12-2-12

I drove by it ten minutes ago. The iron security gate was open and it looked open, but I didn't stop by.
Last time I was in they had really few guns in the establishment and the place seemed big for the actual amount of retail going on.

I just dropped by and they were closed still. Praying they open up soon. My stuff has been on order for like 3 months now...

$1000 for a PPQ? Does it come with uh....never mind.

Even if they don't have a distributor's volume discount, I'd think they could still match EBR's price and still make a profit.

If it came with KY, I would of bitten.

They said there could be a 7 month wait.

I was about to book it with them but when he said they needed the full $1,000 upfront, I politely declined and said I would do more research.

That's when I found out about EBR works.

SJgunguy24 is no longer involved with Valkyrie Arms.

Good luck, I tried getting a quote for a p07 Duty and he never replied, emails or PM.

Both Gio and SJGunGuy no longer work for Valkyrie.

I worked at a largish non-chain gun shop for several years, and we never closed for inventory or audit. Inventory was always done on non-busy weekdays (monday-thursday) and generally in the morning unless we could afford to tie up an employee or two for several hours.

ATF inspections never required shutting down the shop, and generally just involved checking all firearm serial numbers against the number recorded on the box and in the books. They just wanted to make sure that all firearms that should be there were there, that all firearms that shouldn't be there weren't, and that all the record keeping and storage was done properly.

My thought is that either they closed for the holidays (doesn't make too much sense, but it's not my store), or they're in some deep doo doo.

I vote deep doo doo! I just started a ppt, the pick up is on 12/6. I ask about the lack of firearms and the guy ( I did not get his name) told me they sold everything and could not get inventory from gun suppliers. I should have walked out, but the person selling me the firearm have driven to meet me.

I too have a gun there waiting for the 10 day wait period and I have been sitting on pins and needles LOL

I hope they get their problems sorted out. Not every SSE-friendly gun shop around here is capable of performing SSE modifications on every gun make. For instance, VA is the only local SSE dealer that can do CZs.

I have bought from VA many times before and I never felt I was overcharged. As recent as April, VA's price for an HK P30L was within $50 of Ryan's (Table Rock Arms).

Yes, I miss the old crew from Milpitas too. Javier, Gio, Karl, Felipe and even Maggie! It was more of a Calguns hang out place than a store LOL. I met a bunch of you guys there.

[sully007]

If they do not return my call, who would I call to inquire about my firearm?
DOJ?

[Bravo_1]

I met these guys the day they opened their store in milpitas. The owner and the orginal crew is top notch and their customer service is second to none. I went to this new location to buy an upper but as soon as i walked in, everything that i said about the store has completely gone the other direction.

[NorCal Einstein]

I was a satisfied customer at their Milpitas location with nothing but praise for Tim and Javier (I think that's his name). After they moved to the Santa Clara location, I visited them back in April/May and they seemed to have a good amount of stuff out on display, pretty comparable to the old shop.

I've been by probably twice since then, recently about a month ago and their displays are empty, walls are bare. Zero pistols in the case, maybe 2 rifles on the wall. Something was seriously fishy back then, and to read about this now just adds to my suspicion.

If they are closed for inventory audit, the question is why they can't get anymore inventory from suppliers?

[MoMo]

So just curious being one of many waiting for a SSE order... 5 months and counting.

Has anyone actually received a handgun order made through VA in the past few months?

I see some rifles made it through and some lowers but I don't think I saw mention of any handgun orders being filled.

That's not the right question. They can't get inventory from suppliers because the suppliers are running low. Valkyrie isn't the only shop with this issue.

The question should be: If they don't have much inventory because the suppliers are so dry, what is taking so long for an inventory audit?
