Members DCKNIVES Posted February 21, 2008 Members Report Posted February 21, 2008 I am a knifemaker and sheathmaker and like most of you all like to try new stuff. As a gun owner, I have made a few holsters.I am thinking about expanding this for others. The problem is acquiring Blueguns. See, I work my day job a few hundred yards away from Ring's, the manufacturer. After contacting them I can't purchase retail through them but have to order from a dealer and have it shipped to me.I did inquire about becoming a dealer / distributor and no problem other than the intial outlay.I am considering this due to my location but the amount of stock I have to purchase is probably more than I need or want.I would be more than willing to pass on some good savings to others if there was an interest. I haven't done any calculations as to prices yet as this is still in the research stage, but since I can get stuff within minutes of my shop, I'm sure I can cut the prices alot.So should I continue looking into this or breakdown and order what I need through another dealer?Thank you.

Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 21, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 21, 2008 If I can get a blue gun for less $ I am interested. But that said, I don't know if after all the details are hashed out it would worth it for you or be any less than what other companies are charging. I think I paid 34 each and 14 for the magazines and about 12 for shipping from Fl. to Ut. for 5 guns and 3 magazines. I would have to check my invoice to be sure as my memory fades in the evenings. I am interested in what you are able to find out.. Jordan Quote
Members DCKNIVES Posted February 22, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 22, 2008 Jordan , thanks for your thoughts.Actually the only costs I am concerned about is recouping my initial investment.After that my only overhead is packing materials. Ring's is less than two minutes from my dayjob and I pass by my shipper on the way home.With my discount, I am expecting a 10%-20% savings to everyone.We will see though as it's to early in this to make promises. What I would want from eveyone is a list of guns they might like so I can get a feel of what is the most popular models. Dave Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted February 22, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted February 22, 2008 Alittle short for a while but I will let you know when I can afford approx. 6 blueguns and some magazines. If it dose'nt pan out thats ok also. Quote
