Their prices are excellent. They beat everything here in the Va Beach area.

Nothing Weird about it, there are several of us that work from this
database. We all set our own prices. The warehouse is as far as I can figure
the largest and best stocked in the industry. It is not a redirect site, we
actually have all this stuff in stock, you can see what we have in inventory
before you place your order. You can from any item go to the catalog page
for details on the product you can go through the catalog page by page I
must warn you there are about 3000 pages of catalog, the web site itself is
over 500,000 pages deep. I hope you will shop mine. Clint

This is a very poorly designed site, and it breaks all the rules for
storefront design. It's varrrrrry sloooow, every page is cluttered, has
very poor navigation, and uses frames. I hope you aren't counting on this
site making money for you.

I wouldn't be so hard on them. This is the same software other gun shops have.
I doubt most gun shops have the where with all to produce fancy web sites like
Fulton Armory. My problem is that my crappy Netscrape browser doesn't display
his fonts very well. I guess, I'll have to upgrade.
I wish them luck.

Well we are working on it, slow has more to do with your puter and internet
connection.

You have to realize that we are putting over 70,000 separate items up here
it is very difficult to do this. There are very few sites like this in any
industry most have a few hindered items at most. We have nearly as many in
just Ammo Having just about any ammo that is being manufactured any where in
the world that is importable. And I am sure there are some out there that we
don't have but we are working on that.
So it is true that we are breaking every rule about web design there are no
models out there to do what we are doing. Most of you are used to looking
at sights that are selling a few products or one line of products. While we
have just about every manufacture in the business and all of there products
lines with most of it set up where you can actual see a picture of most the
items and how many we have in stock at the time you are placing your order.
You don't have to go to your local gun store and see what it looks like
before you go home and order it online.( a bit of sarcasm there sorry). At
my shop you can order it online from my shop the price is better because I
don't have to inventory it, sit on it for months at a time then discount it
to less than I paid for just to get the shelf space for something that will
sell on a regular basis, that wal mart dosen't sell for what it cost me. It
is very difficult to stay in business these days and almost impossible to
get started in this business. Well you might say that I am just not a good
business person, well that is probably correct. I am a Gunsmith I like and
am good at fixing guns but guess what one man can only fix so many guns in a
day and charge so much for doing it, the cost of doing business legally
these days is high, very high. Firearm repair will not support me and my
family, So yes I am hoping that I can make a little money from this web
site. A little money for sales out of my store front, and maybe I will be
able to be here for the people that come to count on me to be here to get
that rifle or shotgun to work again for opening day. OK this is getting to
long. I want you all to know that I am open to constructive criticism and
hope to get input from all of you. Clint

I use a cablemodem and had no trouble navigating your site easily.
I wish you the best of luck and am shopping your site now in the hopes
of sending you some business.
