Hoosier Gun Works (HGW). We're
upgrading with the move we had in 2004, and are expanding the warehouse. We
have attempted to add most of our parts to our computer, (lots more to
add), to better serve you when you call. And we still have boxes and
crates of goods stacked all over the place.
With the 2 additional phone
lines, we find it hard to keep up (keep trying you'll get us),
or leave message, we will try to get back with a answer. E-mail too 24
/ 7.
Photos are being slowly added as
we
have time to do so, not all items can be done, 200,000 items to
photograph is a lot
of work.
7-08-10 Hot,
Hot Hot. Warehouse was up to 98 a couple of days ago (no
AC). Picking and packing orders has gotten to be (hell). Usual
Summer slow down, expecting to pick up in a few weeks.
2-03-10 We were looking for an New guard dog.Got one
but, she's a white and tan pointer, that will lick you to
death. She was too cute at the Animal shelter, so she came
back with us. She rules the place.. Would love to have the time to
trainer here, so we can get out for some bird

not huge but enough to hold almost all the merchandise we have. 4,000 SF
With office space, warehouse, as well as a possible small retail
area. With this move we can now organize and
inventory our items better and may have some items that will offer as a "Buy It Now" from the site.. We will still make internet orders our priority.
