Hi Gang:

Has anybody ever delt with this firm? If so what were your impressions of the qualty and pricing of the guns?

TIA,

Franchi

I know John Appleton and he has always been fair with me. Ken

Bought a gun from John several years ago. Very good price, good gun and pleasure to deal with the man. If this is the man you are talking about then you should be happy.

Franchi,

I stop The Gun Shop from time to time and agree with Ken and KYJ - fair prices and good folks to deal with and talk guns with. Always some interesting doubles in the cabinet - American and Brit guns mostly but occasional German or Belgian oddity. A friend of mine has bought an extremely nice Army & Navy 12 bore sidelock that is 1 of a pair... currently trying to track down its mate.

Any how, its about Northern VA's only shop where you can find nice old doubles and a proprietor that knows them.

Best,
jmc

Darn. I'm through Front Royal all the time and didn't know about this shop. Where is it located? Do you know the tel #?

Hi All:

Yes this is the same shop that Ken suggested that I stop and visit.

This is where I saw the Beretta BL-4 28 ga. for $1895.00 I thought this price was as high as camel balls for this gun.

If I remember correctly, he had nothing but 12 ga. guns for sale with the exception of perhaps a 16 ga. or two. He had many rifles and handguns for sale.

His hours are are: Saturday and Thursday 10:00a.m.-5:00p.m.
His phone number is 540-635-0455.
His address is 28 East Jackson Street. This is acoss from the SHERIFFS OFFICE. NOT THE POLICE STATION!

BE SURE TO CALL BEFORE YOU VISIT THE STORE! I drove for 3 hours and was lucky to find him at the store on a Friday.

I hope that this helps you to find a doublegun store.

Sincerely,

Franchi

There is a website, but it is not easy to negotiate. I have never been to the shop, but am familiar with the principal.
