Anyone interested in splitting an order of bulk swell neck short rivets? I want to place a bulk order but I surely do not need 10,000 of them!

We order them all the time and then pass on the savings to our build group. Not a terrible idea, but I have to tell you that you need to make sure they are the right size because despite 'close-enough' 'working' it just isn't the best. Good luck and have fun!

Who are you ordering them from? What minimum order quantity is your vendor giving you?

I honestly can't remember since last time we ordered several more pounds to save on shipping (we are getting down and will order again). I remember contacting several distributors who responded with prices. I want to say they were 'forge' companies that supply things like hoove/horse shoes but may be wrong on that last order. I'll talk to the rest of the guys in the group and see if any of them remember or if the paperwork is still with the rivets (it seems I order and pay for so much that ultimately goes to our build group and I don't hear about it until we need more).
