Northern Virginia Gun Works

Their work is really excellent. My experience with them has been for trigger refinement for competition.

Sandy and Robert have worked on my firearms for over a decade. I first visited after my Orthopedic Surgeon's recommendation. I have worked with other Gunsmiths in the Washington DC Metro area, but going here is on a whole different level in terms of quality of work, fair pricing, and advanced gunsmith abilities in general. I highly recommend Northern Virginia Gun Works to anyone looking for quality work completed in a timely manor.

Came in for a quick fix on my pistol here for the first time. The gun tried to chamber a round when another round in the barrel was not ejected and got the slide stuck. I was not comfortable with trying to fix a hard stuck slide with a live round inside at home.

The guy in the shop was friendly. Not only did he clear the malfunction in less than 10 minutes, he also cleaned and lubed the gun for me as well. I'll definitely come back for future gun works.

I have know Sandy since he was running the Fairfax Police Range back in the early 80s. Since that time he has performed miracles on more S&W revolvers than I care to admit to owning. In fact, HE should be running the S&W Performance Center! Then it would mean something today when you bought one of those guns. But I digress. If you ever want to get a rise out of him, ask him if would like to restore an old Marlin 1893 in .38-55. If you do, I won't be responsible for putting his eyes back in his head.. The job he did for me on that old Marlin has won me numerous titles in Roanoke at the long range (250 yard) shoots.It looks like it did the day it left the Marlin factory...back in 1893! Absolutely gorgeous and spot on accurate. It is one firearms that will always remain in the family.

Mr. Sandy Garrett fixed my Model 29 S&W when two local "gunsmiths" couldn't fix it. Mr. Garrett is a true revolver expert. When I drove there to pick it up he explained what he had done to repair it giving me before and after measurements. I would trust him over any local gunsmith and will definitely use him in the future.
