Has anyone done business with a guy by the name of Dave Force running Chadds Ford Armoury? He says he only takes cash which made me kinda curious, but he has a rifle I've been eyeballing for a good price. Anyone done business with him?

Sounds like he may be a member here (forceinpa). c3 dealer.
Dave was a good friend of mine and extremely legitimate, dependable and knowledgeable, plus he's got a very interesting selection.
Is there a web site for Chadds Ford ArmoryQuote:

Well that just sucks. RIP Dave.
Sad to hear.
Dave was old when I knew him back in his Action Arms days, about 30 years ago.
Action Arms was owned by Dave's uncle and cousin.Quote:

I bought several things from Dave and Bob.
I was at Dave's home in Chadds Ford several times, we went for dinner, and I built him a computer a few years ago.
I'm sorry that I didn't know he'd passed away...I'll miss him.
I could be wrong, but when I used to go down to Action Arms in the late 80s-early 90s, it was owned and run by Harry Stern, and I'm pretty sure he started the outfit. The chief designer was Evan Whildin, who later worked for Colt, and who also used to set up at Allentown.
According to Dave Force and Bob Ardle, whoever the owner was, it was Dave's uncle.Quote:
