I Have shared this list with those new C&R license holders who have requested and figured it would get to more people as a thread. Maybe some kind moderator could tack this. [;)]
This list is by no means comprehensive, so feel free to add any that I may have missed. (I also encourage additions of any "C&R Discount" providers out there beyond Midway & Brownells.)

Save your stamp on Springfield Sporters Inc. I just got a letter from them dated 9/10/02 that says they have closed their mail order dept. and ceased retail sales. It was nice of them to send me the notice. I did some business with them some years back when I had a FFL.
|
|
I made a word document with all of the above addresses on labels. Get a copy to simplify the mailing process when you get your C&R FFL.
[url]www.lpbgamers.net/crlabels.doc[/url] I just got mine, and am mailing tomorrow. |

i'm not guaranteeing that none of those links are overlap - but i checked pretty well.
i think this page has possibly the most comprehensive list of viable dealers on the net now. woo-hoo. oh, and [b]+1[/b]! (hey, that was a lot of work) |
|
A couple I don't remember seeing above:
Entreprise Arms 15861 Business Center Dr. Irwindale, CA 91706 P: 626-962-8712 F: 626-962-4692 Numrich Arms 226 Williams Lane PO Box 299 West Hurley, NY 12491 P: 866-686-7424 F: 877-486-7278 |
|
Can someone email me the Word document for the labels? Can't get the links to work here.
Gearing up... Sent my application out last week! |
|
Here's my mailing label list in MSWord format.
Word document C&R mailing label list I just printed it on a full sheet label and cut 'em out(printed a column on one edge and turned the sheet 180 and printed the other edge to make use of the whole sheet). |
|
WOW!
Thank you very much for taking the time to make the list. Dan |
|
Here's a Word document with all the entries in alphabetical order (makes it easier to find 'em). Right click the link and save it to your desktop for quick reference. Then just open the document and click on the links. I also make notes under the entry (prices, etc).
C&R list |
|
Any chance of getting recommended dealers for different items?
For example, Vendor 1 for Garands, Vendor 2 for SKSs, Vendor 3 for M-44s and so on. Since these are old items I would like to ensure I can trust the vendor to describe the condition of the item honestly. |
|
Does anyone know if Wolff gunsprings give a C&R FFL holder discounts?
|
|
I have the file formatted to print out on Avery #5160/#8160 mailing labels.
If anyone is interested, I'll forward a copy. Just IM me your email address. |
|
FYI,
When mailing out to different vendors, the following returned mine saying you must have a FFL and not just a C&R as they only deal with vendors. So, unless you have a FFL you may want to exclude this vendor. Dan’s Sporting Goods 450 5th Street New Kensington, PA 15068 (724) 727-2648 Does anyone have a list of vendors who will only deal with vendors and not individuals who own a just a C&R? |
|
You might want to edit the Navy Arms one. It sends me to a search engine.
I have heard Navy Arms is out of business but I was just on their regular website. |
|
It appears as though the one I had listed is indeed out of business and has been reincarnated. I have modified the information. Thanks! |
|
|
Here's the vendor list in Excel format. This should make it easier to use for mail merges, etc.
C&R Vendor List - Excel There's also a vendor letter in Microsoft Word format that has been setup for mail merge. C&R Vendor Letter - Mail Merge - Word |
|
|
|
OK, here's an updated Excel list and an updated labels file. The label file is set up for Avery 5160 labels.
C&R Dealers C&R Labels ETAs: 3/9/05: Navy Arms address updated |
|
Update: My C&R FFL and letter sent to Enterprise Arms at the above address on 2 March 2005 was returned: Return to sender Not deliverable as addressed Unable to forward |
|
|
Here's one I didn't see in the list...
Military Gun Supply 3815 East Loop 820 South Fort Worth, TX 76119 www.militarygunsupply.com |
|
Updated in my files linked above. |
|
|
Here's a couple of URLs missing from the list...
Classic Arms www.classicarms.us/index.html Numrich Gun Parts www.e-gunparts.com Also, I haven't been able to access Ellison's Military Rifles for weeks. Anyone know what's going on there ? |
|
I was ready to use the Excel sheet above myself this past week and while it certainly saved me some time on the front end (thanks guys), I'm glad that I decided to verify all of the addresses that I could via the web before mailing because there were several addresses that had either changed or that had transposed info (wrong zip codes, etc.). I will post the address errors that I found over the weekend so that you guys don't have to reinvent that wheel. Specifically for the above, the new address is: Entréprise Arms 5321 Irwindale Ave Irwindale, CA 91706-2025 |
|
|
Good deal. FWIW, the information in my Excel spreadsheet was from the original info (cut & paste) from the list at the beginning of this thread. We'll probably have to stay on top of this as I'm sure it will change over time no matter what. So far the only returned letter I've received was the one from Enterprise Arms. |
||
|
New to this site, and btw, excellent collection of c&r dealers. Since there are so many, which 10 would you guys send your c&r to? Are there any others besides AIM, SOG, and Century that are worthwhile to send to?
Also, what would you guys recommend someone buy who has few c&r rifles? So far I have a German Mauser and a Yugo SKS and have an Enfield and a K31 on pre-order. |
|
Try a Mosin Nagant. I've got an M44 (not from my C&R though) that has a badly pitted bore. Even with the bore in such bad shape, there's just something about that hard-hitting little bolt gun with the nasty sidefolding bayonet that warms the cockles of my heart. |
|
|
These two give C&R holders dealer discounts

Aimsurplus, Centerfire, and Wholesale Hunter do not respond to their emails nor did they even bother to acknowledge they received my C&R license. I sent the first 2 signed-in-ink C&Rs along with the standard letter. Every other vendor that received the signed-in-ink C&R bothered to send an email acknowledging they have my paperwork on file. I figured out that most places that sell C&R firearms will tend to want the signed-in-ink paper, whereas the places that sell parts and give dealer discounts can accept faxed copies. This should save you some stamp money. Most of the places that received the signed in ink C&R (CMP, makarov.com) responded almost immediately.
I faxed it to Wholesale Hunter and CMMG, but CMMG said they're not WH (even tho their addresses, fax #s, etc... are the same). WH lists a different return address, and I sent it to them without getting so much as a peep. Luckily, WH has nothing I want anyhow. I faxed copies to Grafs, Midway, Brownells, Tapco and a few other places w/o any problems. I have tried contacting Aimsurplus and Centerfire several times w/o any success. |
|
Does anyone have a list of which vendors offer discounts and which vendors are dorks and ignore you?
|
|
Please remove Wholesale Hunter and CMMG. They do not accept C&Rs.
|
|
Hey hey!!
I got my C&R last night at the PO.... so I'm making available the updated list of vendors I'm using, and the updated address labels. These are both the ones listed above, but with a couple add-ons and subtractions, a total of 61 addresses I think it ended up being. I also setup my letter to be a mail merge document for putting the dealers addresses in. I'll include that as well, jut when you open it, go into mail merge options and tell it to use the C&R_Dealers.xls file as source. My letter takes less than 1/2 a page, so the plan is to photocopy the license to the bottom half then print the letters on the top half. That way I am sending only one piece of paper. Here is the Excel list. Here are the address labels. Here is the letter. No Expert Thanks to everyone who worked on this, I'm just trying to help out some as well. UPDATE: I've started getting responses, the photocopy of the FFL on the bottom half of the letter seems to be accepted fine. I did get a couple returned for new addresses, and have updated the files above. Hoosier Gun Works 457 Park City on Ayr Rd Park City, KY 42160-7543 & Long Mountain Outfitters 631 N.
