Whittaker Guns Closed

[LeverGunner]

It appears that Whittaker's in Owensboro Ky has closed!

Man I hate to hear it. I went down there every couple of years if not several times a year. I hadn't been for a few years, and I was planning on going soemtime this spring.

I've bought some guns from them here and there, and I always enjoyed seeing the variety they have.

I've picked up several used and new guns there over the years.

I have bought several rifles from them when one of their employees (short action smoker on 24hourcampfire) would post limited runs of guns. Always good people to deal with

They had the best prices ive ever seen new and used.

They did have some pretty good deals. It's been so long now I can't remember what I've bought there, but I do remember the last one for sure, a Ruger Super Blackhawk. It was the 4 5/8" barrel, clean, nothing with it, for $500.

It was after Darrel had passed away. I ended up having some issues with the gun and Ruger replaced it with a brand new gun, which I sold as I had acquired the Blackhawk in 44 Special that I have now.
