Anyone from the North-West part of the state? Like Litchfield County? Farther North-West the better! Looking for someone to shoot with and/or reloading, or just shooting the bull 8) Drop me a line!

Hi John, I knew someone had to be in the North-West! Have to get together some day. I just found out that there is a toy store in Torrington, Have you been to it? If so, how is it? Trying to get over there soon, maybe mid-January :D

If you mean a gunshop in Torrington the only one in town that I know of is Tactical Arms. Thats a black gun shop.

I have stopped in there a few times to see if the kind of guns that I prefer might be there. So far nothing.

For fine guns try the Autumn Gun Works in Goshen and the Armory in New Preston.

Here is a pic of the kinds of guns that interest me. This was at Autumn GW.

I either shop at The Semi Auto in Winsted or the shop in Goshen.
Kind of avoid the place in Torrington.

As you come to the rotary on Rt 4 East, turn right and proceed south on Rt 63. Go about 1 mile past the fairgrounds and look for a dirt road coming in from the left named Bare Hill Road; the gunshop is the first building on the left as you turn left onto bare Hill. if you go past the roadside picnic area on the right and a winery on the left, you've passed it!

Thank's once again, CT 6. I found Autumn gun work's yesterday, A very nice place, and they had all that i needed except a pound of Bullseye. I plan on making that one of my two favor shops, for shopping. There a lot closer then Newington, There prices are a little higher, But not worth the extra mileage and time. NOW, I have to figure out how to get from here to there WITHOUT making a detour going to Torrington (KFC)... :lol:
