As much as it pains us to have to write this, unfortunately the range will be unable to reopen. The Smoking Gun is officially closing.
The building owner got word this morning from his insurance company this morning that the final payout for the damage from the fire would be substantially less than it is going to cost to rebuild. Instead of giving him replacement cost, they depreciated everything. The range is pretty old, so you can imagine what that cost difference would be.
The last date for gun transfers will be September 30. Any guns that come in after that will have to be returned to the seller because they will be undeliverable.
If you have a membership or gift certificate, send us an email at smokinggun@comcast.net. We'll work on getting those refunded as soon as we can process them.
Thank you to everyone who has stood by us all these years! We'll make a much sappier goodbye post as we get closer to October 1. But just know how much your business and support has meant to our family over the years.
