Has anyone been to Glibert's lately?

I was reading that Gilbert's shooting range and gun shop was fighting to keep its ffl license. I was curious if it was still open in Lorton?

For example, the inspection showed 427 missing disposition entries in the A&D Records. Gilbert acknowledged that some 275 of those were recorded elsewhere or "merely late," but further claimed that because he subsequently reported the remaining 146 firearms as lost or stolen, he did not need to record them in the A&D Records.

now thats a lot of missing records and LOST firearms

Yes it is a lot of guns and I never knew they had any problems over there. I had known of wrong boxes being given for a couple of handguns but they normally asked the people to bring the boxes back to straighten them out. After reading this it appears that either the place will close or have to be sold to someone else.

Why is this in the VA forum? I thought Gilbert's was in MD?

There is another one in VA.

That appears to be the Maryland Gilberts - NOT the business located in VIRGINIA - which was previously known as Gilberts Small Arms range (no relation).

THe Virginia Gilberts is now called the "Sharpshooters Range" and it is being run by Tim Bacus - I am not aware of any record keeping mistakes whatsoever at the Virginia Gilberts/Sharpshooters.

Gilberts/Sharpshooters in VA is in fact going for its Class 3 license! Looking to get a full-auto firearm to rent, too! HOO-YAH!!

That's where I usually shoot. Nice range, good (though pretty busy) folks.

I'm pretty sure he is wrong about that.

So far, they (Gilbert/Sharpshooters) seem to be doing just fine. Apparently a case of mistaken identity.

I frequent Sharpshooters in Lorton. Range is nice, 22 yards max I think.. Pistol calibers only.. there are discounts for annual/premium members.
