Sniper Company Information

[Mayday671]

If you or someone you know has a firearm at Sniperco on consignment or for repair you should be contacting the owner and making arrangements to retrieve the firearm. They have been shut down and the attorney's are working on arrangements to get guns back to owners. One of the creditors owed stated that Sniperco's attorney informed them that bankruptcy paperwork is being filed.

Last I knew there wasn't much in stock. Who knows how long the items will be tied up with legal issues.

Get them out now! Several years ago a boat dealership near me went bankrupt and people that didn't get their boats out in time had a horrible time getting them. Including repaired items. Jim.

They might become Swiper Company

Does this mean they are done for? Or is this just a speed bump?

Generally a company that goes into receivership is done unless a fat checkbook comes and bails it out. I have never dealt with that company, and know nothing about their business, but I always hate to see another business close.

When the AMC dealer on 41 in Highland was forced to close up, some customers had their cars taken apart in the shop. I personally know someone who had a lot of trouble getting their car back, and weeks later, a wrecker brought their car minus the transmission and drive shaft. I hope people are able to get their personal property back.

Thats too bad, I liked the guys working there.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, no swiping! SWIPER, NO SWIPING!

I agree, every time i went in there I always had good conversation with whomever was working.

 

[PGRChaplain]

I was there once, that was enough. Counter guy was rude and knew nothing about the gun I was looking at. Hope everybody gets their stuff back.

No the ATF doesn't want them, they stay with the FFL as long as it's active.

So the FFL is still active? I assumed it wasn't based on the info you provided.

ETA: it looks like the trustee keeps them, but then what? There appears to be no transfer past licensee to receiver or trustee.

Is this the same place that had the guy on the news saying he thought universal background checks are a good thing?

Sad. I had high hopes for Shawn and company. The last time I was there, the non-existant inventory kind of told the story. I wanted to buy something, but there was very little for sale.

I went up to Tomlinsons and bought bullets, powder, and primers.

I couldn't find any Bianchi speed strips though....Hint, hint.
