Wabash Valley Armory Closes

Sadly the owner Ron passed away and his widow has decided to close the shop. A offer to purchase was made and she declined.

Why would she turn down any offers?
What about selling the current inventory??
Is she going to have an auction???

I am not a 100% on anything but it sounds like she has no plans for the inventory, they are not sure what is going to happen with class 3 items that are waiting on stamps to return.

It is believed that a family member has convinced her that the business is worth more than it really is.

The staff found out Friday by a lawyer that the doors would be closed Saturday at the end of the day.

There are items still in lay-away that they are working with costumers on.

The shop I used to work at was closing with a few class 3 items still waiting on approval, the owner called the nfa branch, explained what was happening (closing the shop, retiring and moving to another state) and the person he talked too fast tracked all the waiting forms!

Another shop in the area that closed (abruptly) was able to transfer all their pending class 3 items to another local dealer.

Don’t know if either of those are “in play” with this shop, but it’s something
