Kesselring Gun Shop Inc After October it will still be Kesselring's but it won't be a gun shop. Everything is up in the air right now as to what will change and what won't change i.e. name and what not. We really appreciate all the support and are sorry to say we won't be a gun supplier anymore.
Kesselring Gun Shop Inc We fought really hard to try and keep a gun store but these days it's quite the task to do with many hoops to jump through.
Kesselring Gun Shop Inc The reason we will not be selling firearms or ammunition anymore is because on October 1st 2013 we will be surrendering our FFL to the ATF. Hope that helps shed some light on your earlier question.
Kesselring Gun Shop Inc It's a forced surrender. I have no updates as of right now for a new shop

That also means that if you bought a gun from them thier FFL records will now be in the hands of the feds. :twocents:
I assumed it was already.

Worst gun shop I ever dealt with! Took over 5 months to put a brake on one of my rifles. Never went back...I thought Craig was very nice and did good work for a reasonable price
I've never liked that placed. Lousy customer service and the rudest sales people in the business.I thought the sales staff was courteous
Gun shops by and large have the rudest work force of any business this side of corrections and bounty hunting

As of October 1, 2013 Kesselring Gun Shop, Inc. will surrender its Federal Firearms License (FFL) and no longer be in business to buy, sell or trade firearms or offer gunsmithing services. As you can imagine, it’s with a heavy heart that we share this news.
The Kesselring Family would like to thank all of its customers for 66 great years. Moving forward there will be a business reorganization within the family, Keith and Don will be going their separate ways.
Keith Kesselring and Melissa Erlenbach will be opening Kesselring Pro Shop which will operate within the new indoor Skagit Shooting Range facility located in Burlington at 1340 Bouslog Road. The range is under construction and will open in late November, 2013.
Kesselring Pro Shop will offer firearms, ammunition and accessories for individual sale, law enforcement, corrections, first responders, firefighter personnel and those interested in concealed carry, home and self defense. The Skagit Shooting Range will offer a first class 16 lane indoor 25-yard range, complete with classroom facilities for individual or group training, special events, and league shooting.
Don Kesselring will continue retail, wholesale and internet sales operations at Kesselring Gun Shop, Inc., located at 4024 Old Highway 99 North Burlington, WA. Sales will include ammunition, reloading supplies and components, optics, bases and rings, and firearm parts and accessories.
Keith

They must not be in too much of a hurry to get rid of their guns, 10% off in a liquidation sale for firearms that are already marked up 20% over MSRP or blue book ain't chit. They have been over priced from the beginning, looks like they will stay overpriced to the end.
20% over Msrp OR blue book? These would be two entirely different numbers...
Alway had fair service and ok prices shopping there. Sad to see...

Rumor is to many MIA guns and paperwork. Their probably are other reasons that others may be able to verify. Still unfortunate. This may be why they cabled all the guns, numbered them etc. I think they were trying to meet all the requirements, but in the end the BATF is not for gun shops with all the hoops one has to jump through these days.
Maybe they refused to sell weapons to illegal alien, Mexican drug dealers. :dunno:

I find it interesting that ATF can let hundreds of assault rifles and pistols get exported illegally (Fast and Furious) that ended up in the hands of the drug cartels and then they come down on legitimate U.S. gun shops. What a mess.
