How come you don't contact the companies directly and see if you can buy bulk since you are a manufacturer/supplier?

Marcus I just ordered a Surefire Procomp 556 muzzle device from Botech they had it listed for $53.90 which is cheaper then just about everywhere else online right now by $5.00 to $10.00 I used the make an offer button and entered $50.00 even they responded within a half hour and accepted it. If you decided to use them for the mags try to make an offer with the amount you are looking for they may cut you a decent deal. They also have free shipping on all orders.

Botack doesn't stock, or able to get them in black. I just inquired Copes to see if they would do a 'quantity' discount. Thanks for the leads.

Have you tried going directly to Tapco? Granted, they've gone holier-than-thou-art and stopped selling to consumers. But, in your case, I wouldn't consider you a average consumer.

I did. They told me to pound sand.

Aww, there's the Tapco we all love and remember. :roll: I see Bill and company are still better than we are.

They were actually bought out by the Freedom Group which is that conglomerate that ruined Remington, Marlin, and Bushmaster.

I'm a Distributor now with Copes. I don't think they have stock right now. Also got setup with MississippiFirearms as a Distributor.

Thanks for the help guys.

I contacted Tapco direct to try again at becoming a Distributor. Spoke to a real LIVE (nice) person this time. They don't 'usually' consider my business as being a 'distributor' type business. However, since I'm in Texas, they may make an exception. (Don't know what she meant by that, but OK with me). I'm waiting on a call back. Say a few prayers they let me become a distributor.

Well guys, the Gun Gods have blessed us. I'm now a Tapco Distributor. I got a super deal on mags. I can likely sell you Tapco, stock, 20's, SKS mags (or other capacity) for 15.00 plus shipping. Depends on what it cost me to ship them here. Ordering 1 or 2 probably won't save you any money as I have to charge 10.00 shipping to cover Priority mail costs due to weight. I suppose I can get stocks as well if you want them, or other Tapco products. No idea on cost for stocks, but the markup will be minimal. I just don't want to lose money on the sale. I don't mind breaking even with you guys though. Let me know if you have any requests.

The Tapco guy who called me was very nice. He (apparently) went to my web site and looked at what we do. He seemed impressed with our adapter line that uses their mags. Why didn't this happen 5 years ago? Oh well, it has happened now.

We don't normally share sales info but, I think selling about 1,000 Tapco mags tipped the scales in or favor.
