The first thing I would do is get enough permits to hold 1,000,000 small pistol primers and order weekly to maintain the levels.

 

What good is a shelf full of shotgun primers that sit there month after month? Or keeping those 2,000 small pistol magnum primers.

 

Seriously, WTF?

 

What would you do?

sorry man. I just drove an hour to get to a store that told me they had 1,000 small pistol primers in stock and when I got there they were magnum primers.

 

Jeebus. What I wouldn't give to get to a place with a few boxes of 1000 SPstl primers in stock.. Ordering online add $30 in hazmat.

 

seems like there is a real niche market out there.

sell guns

Sending PM.

Bulpup,

 

Salomon's had thousands of small pistol in stock last week. He's at $32 per thousand, kinda steep IMO but he has them.

 

Powder Valley (online) has small pistol at $26 per thousand. If you put together a group buy, I WILL go in with you on it and that way we split the hazmat fee. I wish somebody would re-stock Wolf or Tula as those prices were MUCH cheaper but Wideners has basically ZERO small pistol - and they cater to reloaders so figure that out.

Speaking of powder valley, if anybody wants to do a group buy for some powder and primers let me know, im in the central nj area - woodbridge. Near old bridge rifle and pistol

Do you have to have an FFL to sell primers?

Not sure, but I think you are limited by fire code as to how many you can store and in what manner.

Stay tuned...things are in the works..........

 

Please tell me it's so!!!

I'll l;et you know when I am ready for that. I just put a lot down on a new bike so I might have to wait on a large order.

That would be great. Shoot a few hours at Chery Ridge, pick up the brass and get primers on the way home. Please let me know when this is done. Do you have any now?

If I owned a gun store I would call it "The Man Cave" it would have pinball and arcade machines, a gun range, gun shop, a little dive-diner that served breakfast, burgers, chicken wings, you know all the wonderful food groups. Oh and it would be staffed by attractive women in swimsuits. Hey I can dream right? LOL

We will............it is in the works....we are a Dillon dealer....we also have primers in now, but will be carrying a full line of primers as well as common powders and reloading gear....

 

What we do not have we will get for our customers and give them them, as always the best pricing possible.

 

That;s great. I reload with Lee equipment and I just now realized that I really don't need to always use CCI. But the small pistol is just impossible to find in Northern NJ. I am very happy you guys are thinking ahead.

 

It will also give me an excuse to look over some of those muskets. Smokin .50 put on a class and I am hooked.

As to the OP's initial question:

 

I would make sure to have as much as I could afford to keep in stock of things that sell. I would cheerfully take special orders. I would advertise a special of the week for some caliber or gauge of ammo to bring-in new faces so I could show them good customer service. I would give quantity discounts to those that purchase multiple firearms in the same week. I would LISTEN to the customers who are Experts in their various disciplines (rated or well known in the shooting Community) for ideas on what to stock that they use such as oils, cleaners, bullets and such, so I could offer them for sale to my customers.

 

This really only begins to scratch the surface of what I'm capable of writing, but suffice to say I'd do really well. And to make sure my bottom line stays healthy, I'd do this:

 

I would be sure to ask for "the fries" at the register: "Can I get you anything else for your rifle, pistol or shotgun?" Sometimes we as consumers have one track minds when we're looking for a special item or part, and we tend to forget that we might also need or want something else that's in the store. By having everyone in the store "ask for the fries", it will no doubt lead to additional point-of-purchase sales and we'll be offering superior customer service!
