Last posted rec.guns 10/93
This is a list I pulled off of the net and have updated from time to
time. I make *no* guarantees on the accuracy of this list. The names
listed have either been suggested to me or places that I've dug up from
other sources. I have no commercial interest in any of these places and
urge caution in dealing with any mail order outlet. Please let me know of
any additions, deletions or corrections needed. I do *not* want to track
the performance of each vendor in this file for both administrative and
legal reasons. Vendor complaints should be posted to rec.guns
--------------------------------------------------------------
You need an FFL license to mail order firearms, except for black powder
and air guns. You can mail order ammo, but you have to fill out a special
form for Pistol ammo. Get a hold of a copy of Shotgun News. It has adds for
all kinds of mail order gun stuff. You can get a subscription for $20
a year. You get an issue 3 times a month usually on the 1st, 10th, and
20th. Here is their address:
Shotgun News (This is the book your gun dealer doesn't want you to read)
PO Box 669
Hastings, NE 68902
(800)345-6923, (402)463-4589, FAX:(402)463-3893
Here are some other vendors for gun and reloading supplies as well as bulk
and reloaded ammo. Most of these will send you a free catalog if you call
the 800 number.

flashlight mounts and ammo holders, folding stocks and lasers
Beikirch's
(716)248-3660
Beikirch's is a rather large (and low priced) ammunition & reloading supply
depot with it's own fleet of trucks (really!). The catch? You have to
order a minimum of $1000 worth of stuff to get them to make a stop with
their truck. Get your club together, Northeastern region only.

Brownells
200 South Front St
Montezuma, Iowa 50171
(515)623-5401, FAX:(515)623-3896
(They charge $4 for the catalogue and give a $4 credit, unless you can
convince them you are a dealer, then it is free)
THE supply catalogue for gunsmithing tools and supplies is Brownell's.
If they don't have it then nobody does. They also offer a wide range of
accessories and everything you'll need for your 45. They have a dual
pricing policy, giving the discount price to FFL holders and "dealers".
People have had mixed results getting the dealer prices by claiming to be a
machinest or a dealer in everything but guns. The "hidden" dealer price
can be easily decoded as follows:
ITEM: Foo Bar Grips an9xx20dd PRICE $19.95
The dealer price is 9.20, the average person pays $19.95
