Ft. Lee, Camp Allen & JBLE The Ft. Lee (VA) POW range has been closed since MAY 14. The MWR OIC suddenly died, and MWR hasn't been able to find/fund/train a replacement. As of MAR 15, it remains closed. When it was open, non-DoD were authorized. It looks like Camp Allen (USMC, Norfolk...

Allen/Lee Yup, the Camp Allen Range is still down. Authorized DoD/USCG and dependents, and other DHS personnel and certain police activities are authorized. The OIC at the Ft. Lee POW range wants the word out that it is available to everyone, military or otherwise. It is well regulated by...

Just found the notification - as of late NOV 13, a new MWR POW (privately-owned weapons) range has opened at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Ft. Eustis, VA for all-service military members, and, DoD civilians attached to JBLE. http://www.jble.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123371992 And all this time I...

Update This is an old thread (by 20 DEC 13), but the latest news is that the Camp Allen indoor range is closed UFN - a significant fire has just recently burnt it out. Otherwise, I have used the range and have not seen an ongoing problem, though I do note a bullet hole through the top of one...

Camp Allen (USMC) The POW range at Fort Lee, VA is up and running, but I stopped by the indoor range at Camp Allen (Norfolk, VA) to shoot. No dice - closed UFN due to a major fire involving a lot of the range building. BULL

Re-Opening The Ft. Lee POW range will re-open on Sunday, 20 OCT 13, 1000-1600.

A Sub-Fora? When I first posted, I thought I might appear as way off base limiting myself to a single-shot, rimfire only. From the number and tone of responses, it looks like there are more "aficiones" than I thought. A sub-forum for single-shot rifles? BULL sends

Kinda' like what BCRider has alluded to, I suspect I will have a hidden smile on my face when I step up to the gunline at the USMC Camp Allen weapons range alongside the young bucks with their decked-out, issued or private M-4s and ARs, and break-open the barrel of the H&R and reach into my...

Thanks for the Info Thanks all for your info. In the end, I opted for the break-action, H&R Sportster in .22LR, partly based upon price and availability. But in the unlikely circumstance that I need to take on small mammals, I can send it in to H&R and have it re-barreled to .22WMR or .17HMR...

The Uberti is a nice piece of work, but frankly it is way beyond my need unless bought used somewhere.

Thanks all. I appreciate the fast input and have looked into the various models proffered as best I can online. Not being a particularly “gunny” person, I’m a little ill-equipped to go out on the used market without a personal expert guide. I just happened to have one when we found the...

I need some advice/input. While getting well along in life, I have diligently maintained my sustainment training on two of my former force protection weapons – the .45 ACP (now an officers model) and the #00-loaded, tactical 12ga. I see no need to include the M-1 or M-14/M1A at this point...

The Fort Eustis (VA) AAFES PX counter is just now open, but minimally stocked so far. They have at least one dedicated, knowledgeable salesperson, not just someone off the floor. In addition to the main exchange's firearms, ammo and accessories, there are two other tactical gear sources in the...

NEX Received from NEXCOM this morning: "CAPT Fisher, Thank you for your inquiry. The Navy Exchange does not sell firearms and ammunition because it is not a good business for the NEX to be in. Due to the expense of operating this department, there is little or no profit which would...

It's beginning to look like NEX is odd-man-out. I'll have to take a look in the CGX at USCGTC, Yorktown, VA.

To clarify what was questioned in the original 2004 thread, the authority for DoD exchange sales of firearms is stated in Enclosure (3) of the current DoD Instruction 1330.21 (Subject: Armed Services Exchange Regulations): “E3.3.5. Firearms and ammunition are authorized exchange sale items...

"Does your DOD activity's PX, NEX or BX sell firearms" is the title of a very old thread on THR. But there is new news on that front. The AAFES PX at Joint Base Langley/Eustis, Newport News, VA is in the process of setting up a gun counter in the main exchange, and it should be stocked by the...

Due to sequestration, the outdoor POW (Personally Owned Weapons) Range at Ft. Lee, VA is closed until 01 OCT (in all probability, until Sunday, 06 OCT). The POW Range is open (when open) to both military and civilians. For authorized recreational users, the indoor range at USMC Camp Allen...
