  • Guns America not a vendor per se--this is a big gun classified ads page.
  • Marstar, a Canadian company "serving gun collectors, firearm dealers, museums, police forces, and military forces all over the world since 1985. Whether you're looking for collector grade firearms, ammunition, obsolete parts, or rare and seldom-seen accessories, you have found one of the best sources available.

  • Shotgun News not news about shotguns -- this is a big gun classified ad paper. Don't drool too much over the prices -- you also have to find an FFL holder willing to do the actual transfer for you, for which they typically charge a small ammount (usually a percentage of the purchase price) to cover the paperwork, their time and trouble, and the fact that you're buying from a magazine ad instead of from them.

  • Speedloaders.com. Speedloaders are handly little gadgets that hold six (or however many) rounds in a circle, for loading a revovler quickly. Conventional ones have a twist knob that releases the cartridges. These guys have a quite different design -- insert the loads, pull the speedloader perpendicularly away. March 2003 -- I got a couple, wasn't that impressed. They're soft rubber, and I don't think they'd hold up long term. Because of how flexible they were, I also had trouble getting all the rounds to line up with the cylinder holes, which is the point of a speedloader. Try them yourself if you want. They're cheap, Brownell's has them.
