1174.1Midsouth # and address.DECALP::HOHWYJust another ProgrammerFri Jul 31 1992 08:0513
	Mike, you can also try the FIREARMS notes conference, look
	under MAIL ORDER - or something. There are a number of other
	companies besides Midsouth that does good mail order.

	Midsouth Shooters Supply, 1925 North Highway 92, New Market,
	Tennessee 37820, 1-800-272-3000 or 1-615-475-4783, Fax #:
	1-615-475-5351.

	Good luck

                   Thanks Mike this number was for a friend who
                   wants to purchase a Muzzle loader. There almost
                   a $100 difference from Gander mts. compared to
                   Midsouth. 
    
     Happy Hunting

    re .2
    
    Isn't Midsouth a wholesaler?  I'm pretty sure they use to sell to the
    gun shop I worked in back in high school.  That would explain the
    difference.  If they are a wholesaler I'm surprised they will sell to
    the general public.

	Kevin, I obviously cannot say that there is no such whole
	sale operation called "Midsouth" or some such thing :-).
	But "Midsouth Shooters Supply" is a regular mail order
	company who will be happy to take "retail" (i.e. mail order
	retail) orders. They are good for reloading stuff, the
	best I've come about for scopes and have about 5 trillion
	other bits and pieces in their catalog. Only bad thing: 
	they have a surcharge on credit card orders...

    re .4
    
    One thing I have learned from running a small business is that the
    bank charges the retail outfit that surcharge for every credit card
    purchase.  Nothing's free, some shops pass it on up front, others
    make it up in the margin...if they're profitting on the surcharge
    than that's just bad business, IMO.
    
    Just thought I'd pass that along.

	Kevin, fair of you to point this out - I knew, but my comment was 
	insensible to this fact. In any event you have set things straight
	now - one never gets anything for free :-}
