Well... It's a sad day for the TC world. Virgin Valley wasn't able to attract a new investor and is this is their latest official message....



====================

We regret to inform you that we are closing the shop. We are no longer

taking new orders for Encore/Contender barrels, stock sets, or bolt gun

work. We will be winding down operations over the next month or so. During

that time we will be trying to finish up as many open orders as we possibly

can. Those customer orders that we cannot finish up will be issued refund

checks for any deposits paid. The orders we will be concentrating on are

Encore/Contender barrel orders and open bolt gun orders. If you have a stock

set or forend included with your barrel order or bolt gun work, or had just

a stock set or forend ordered, those items will be not completed so a refund

check will be issued for your paid deposit within the next few weeks. In

addition, any related parts, pieces or accessories furnished to us for any

job not completed will be returned to you.



As for our custom Encore and Contender accessories, ie; hammer spur

extensions, scope bases, trigger jobs, forend hanger bars & forend

conversions for the hanger bar, etc. All of these same identical items are

still available to purchase through a different source. Contact Steve

Stratton via e-mail at blksheep@infowest.com to place an order for now. In

the near future there will be a new business name, web site and telephone

number available to use for ordering these former V V C Gun accessory

products.



In the meantime, we will be hard to get a hold of on the phones. If you

would care to e-mail Steve or Jeff that would be the best way to contact us

at present. We will reply to all e-mails received. E-mail

jeff@virginvalleyguns.com for any questions regarding bolt gun related jobs.

E-mail steve@virginvalleyguns.com for Encore/Contender jobs.



We deeply apologize for any inconvenience our closing may cause. We ask for

your patience in winding down operations and cleaning up all of the loose

ends. We will take care of everything we can as quickly as we can.
