Reloading supplies to die for? Did you say that on purpose?

I wish they would ship to the US. They had Lee factory crimp dies in 505 Gibbs, custom order only here.

It is a shop I avoid as far as possible because it rips into the finances!

What a joy walking into a shop and asking for something other than PMP brown box 308 Winchester ammo and they usually have it!

They have made finding quality components and tools much easier for us.

I've been there a couple of times. The selection is impressive and I bought 5 books one year during a sale. The salesmen are courteous and helpful at the counters, but entrance to their shop can be problematic for a customer. One steps thru an outer door into a mesh cage where there is another meshed locked door thru which one can gain access to their shop subject to their remote unlocking of the door. During one of my visits I waited to be admitted in the cage with multiple employees in sight (not many customers at all). Thinking that my poor hearing missed the remote unlocking of the door, I pushed on it whereupon I must have messed up the remote unlocking feature. The employees looked at each other and finally one was designated to make the trek to the door to physically open it and allow my admittance. This was a little embarrasing for me but I apologized to the admitting employee for inconveniencing him. It is realized that South Africa has a siege mentality (ever seen the walls and security wires?) but hopefully this shop has made their customer admission procedure a little more user friendly and welcoming.

Hi Gents

Yes indeed, they are the number 1 gunshop in terms of stock in the country.
They also have a great online shop and go above and beyond to help us.

Their online shop is located at

I have bought about $30 000 worth of equipment from them over the last few years and never had a bit of trouble. Most of it done over the phone.

Great guys and long may they prosper
