Looks like they stiffed their gun distributors. Or the distributors are getting cold feet. They used to offer almost the entire S&W product line, now almost none. Same with CZ and Sig. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

GM prices are out of line with their consumer base. I have only purchased .22lr ammo from GM. Though the prices were more than I wanted to pay, they were the only game in town for .22. Clothing sales were decent when changing seasonal stock. Mainly looked and ordered online. | |||

How is it they are going bankrupt? Judging by their prices, one would have thought they made their years profit on every sale. ----------------------------------- Regards, Steve The anticipation is often greater than the actual reward | |||

And they still wouldn't deal on firearms. Found one I was looking for in the used selection, and since it needs shipped to my location, full price + shipping+ ffl charge paid in full upfront with no chance to inspect the firearm and no refund if there's a problem with it. More & more SIG's and a bunch of Smith & Wesson revolvers | |||

Delusions of Adequacy |
Gander doesn't seem to plan locations well. The Ptoomac mills location has Quantico Arms in the next strip mall over, and All Shooters just up the street. The failed Richmond location was right by Bass Pro and Greentop. Locations like that can be creat, but only if you're competitive. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

I stopped in the local store today. No clearance signs up and no sale prices yet but you can tell they stopped restocking a while ago. I will wait for the clearance sales to start which should bring the prices down into a normal range. After that I won't miss them. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

I looked at the website today. Now lots of guns available to order, all at their usual prices. New Distributor, maybe? End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Visited my local one today; only apparel and a few select things were discounted. Grabbed a rod and reel combo, and some cartridges then went to another store to browse. Maybe a dozen cars in the parking lot. There's a Dick's Sporting Goods within a stone's throw of this shop too (the Woodbridge, VA store). Too much competition too close by. | |||

I went back in the one by Potomac mills last Friday....they once again had stupidly priced used gun, as well as everything else....so I must just have gotten lucky. —————————————————— If the meek will inherit the earth, what will happen to us tigers? | |||

I stopped by Dawson's today also; they're closing. Didn't come home empty handed though. | |||

Killing some time this morning went in to look around. In the used gun case they had a 229 Legion .357 SIG for $1299  and label for a SIG Sauer Hk 45c with this SIG Sauer marked through with a pen.  This message has been edited. Last edited by: drabfour, | |||

They're after my Lucky Charms! |
I thought Greentop was the old Gander Mountain. As for Potomac Mills, I don't see Quantico Tactical as a real competitor. QT specializes in Military/LEO, and Gander is more hunting. 2 different product selections. What is hurting them is prices. And moron/jackassery behind the counter.

They moved into the GM location when it closed... | |||

Heard they are closing the GM in Greenfield, Indiana. They are not advertising that fact though. Stopped in yesterday to look around. Some apparel on sale but no sales on firearms, bows, or targets. Firearms stupidly priced. I did see a couple of used 229's in .40 S&W for $500 each I think. | |||

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
Some stores will remain open, including 3 in Alabama.

I never could figure why Dawson's moved to Woodbridge from Annandale. They did a lot of business at the old location even though their prices were high. Also there was the firing range in the same building downstairs. 41 | |||

| Awaits his CUT of choice |
The article I read talks about the new CEO. He bought the brand and stores but not the inventory. The new CEO is going to keep some of the stores open and stocked with a revised product lineup in an attempt to keep the business going. A liquidator bought the inventory and that is who is running the out of business clearance. | |||
