    Not lately. They use to have odd ball stuff like Berdan primers, obscure ammo. Prices were high but not unreasonable considering.

    Old Western Scrounger was originally located in CA. They sold out to Navy Arms/Gibbs, in West Virginia years ago. Don't know if the original company's are still in business? Or somebody else is using there name for business purposes. The last actual brick and mortar store that Old Western Scrounger sold out of, was in El Cerrito CA. Many moons ago.

    Just a slight correction on OWS, started in El Cerrito, CA (Old Wet Gun Room) then went to Montague, CA (near Yreka) then to Silver Springs, NV (near Carson City) then back East. In his early years worked for Interarmaco on the Thailand deal, that was the big cannon deal. Always a good day when visiting him, found lots of goodies...

    Never been there but I just opened an account today and ordered some ammo. so far no complaints it shipped right out. Pricey yes but what isn't these days.

    IIRC there was a detailed thread on another gunboard, how OWS sold ammo to a guy, he put it in the wrong gun or something, and it exploded in his face. hurt some people or worse ? pretty sure it got settled out of court. don't know which owner it was. I bought some ammo from the guy in Ca. years ago. he used to ship it US Mail parcel post (smirk)....
