Places to order new ruger firearms as a dealer?

redice
Customer is interested in a Ruger Blackhawk Convertable and since I am just starting up and since im a gunsmith most distributors won't do business with me it seems. Or at least that's what I have gathered from there sign up stuff, most want credit checks etc etc etc.

Anyhow while I wait to see if any of these distributors will allow me to buy from them is there any places I can just go on there website and order Without all the hassles?

I did look on here and theirs 1 available but way way above dealer costs and I would rather tell the customer that he can get it cheaper elsewhere than to try to gouge him that much.

Right now im filling out the credit app for Lipseys which looks like the most promising so far but also waiting to hear back from Green supply, and im probably going to spend the afternoon searching for other dealers.

Anyhow any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The ones I deal with the most are Jerry's Sports Center, Ron Shirks Shooters Supply, and CDNN. Jerry's will have all you need. Go to www.jerryssportscenter.com. You will need to set up an account with your FFL, State FL if needed in your state, and a sales tax number/certificate.

    i use sports south 99.9% of the time, they do not charge me shipping regardless of order amount. second is zanders, jerrys, and davidsons. lipseys is ok, i guess??
    if you are just starting out, good luck, but send every dist. you can find your ffl, a faxed copy, signed, is ok.they will put you on the mailing list.
    and on a short note, most any handguns are hard to locate since super fly got in office.

    Sounds like you need to buddy up with a couple of dealers around your area. They send some smithing business ur way, and you send some general buying business here way, and in the middle they hook you up when you need something you can't get.

    Its called cooping, and it really helps increase revenue and increases your resourcefulness. I used to do it when I owned my first paintball shop with another shop in another city that wasn't that far of a drive away. We would group our purchases together to get bulk discounts from the same wholesaler. And it really help our buying power, because we would be able to use eachother as a means to haggle down other manufacturers.
