They didn't rebuild and as far as I know no plans to rebuikd. But they have an excellent selection and good prices. I've bought a few guns there this year.
I wonder if they prosecuted the guy, or sued him or something. Who brings tracer rounds to an indoor range?
Their range is now a car lot.
Last I heard they have never settled with the insurance company yet.
They have to the best of my knowledge never made use of INGO to keep in touch with their customer base, no sales, no news, no nothing. It's like they dropped off of the planet.
They are the second shooting range in Beech Grove to be lost. I knew that if they didn't recover quickly they never would, other ranges were coming on line.
Most shops are just too busy and the little amount of business that ingo drives to them it isnt worth the time or money to maintain a presence at least in their own subforum. I'm just speaking to what other 3 other gun shop owners and former advertisers here have told me in the past, I'm in no way affiliated with beech grove firearms. They actualy had a huge ingo banner painted on their wall when the range was open and many INGO members participated in a weekly NRA shooting league that was held there that flightsimmer ran independently.At one point, I remember one of the principals behind BGF at least being on INGO (may still be), as I had a couple of PM's back and forth several years ago when I was looking for something, but agreed, always seemed like more presence would have been a good thing. That said, I'm always surprised when Indiana shops don't have some sort of presence here (even the ones that do well, you would think would do even better with a presence here).

Losing Beech Grove Firearms Range was devastating to the shooting community. I still think it blew away any current ranges in central Indiana. Not that others arent nice but I think BGF was the best.
The shop is still one of the largest and most stocked stores in the indy area and they do not jack up their prices on the guns. EXCELLENT prices on new and used guns as far as i am concerned and I am no beginner at buying guns or knowing what things are selling for that I want. So when I say good prices it's the truth and not opinion. Accessories are usualy full retail but if you dont like the price on something make them an offer. They are great people.
Also they are willing to order anything for you gun or otherwise if they can get it. And I've had guns only take one day to show up!
This is one of the best gun shops I've been in and they will take good care of you. Beech Grove Firearms used to be just a tiny shop on main street when I started going there and now it is a trend setter and a hip and modern shop that still has that old American gun shop feel to it. I hidden treasure that's no longer hidden. I you live even a couple hours away, make the drive! I promise you won't be dissapointed. Huge AR selection. Huge old and rare revolver selection. Starting to get more milsurp guns in too and they have a couple hard to find ones right now. Lots of shotguns. Lots of bolt action rifles including a few high quality custom ones for professionals. Also they have stripped AR lowers from major brands and parts kits and uppers and a whole range of AR accessories and mags. Lots of holsters. Black rifle coffee too! Huge glock and S&W M&P selection including being blue label dealers for both as well as FN blue label too!!!
Their used pistol selection is out of this world. They are also class 3 so they have suppressors and other items. I'm just a customer but I am a real gun guy, and it takes a lot to impress me but they are impressive.
Did you ask if you could see it? They are really good people there but I dont know if they can read minds. They don't get pushy with people and I really like that about them.I used to visit that shop a few times a month and always enjoyed it. The last three times I’ve been in I’ve waited and waited to look at a certain revolver I was interested in to no avail. Today..... the third time in to look at this revolver one guy was busy eating while the lady was reading the paper. I stood there for 10 minutes and left. Did get a thanks for coming in as I went out the door. Guess that’s a good enough hint that I can buy that revolver elsewhere......
