Where do you guys get your brass/nickle silver/copper flat stock

[groy87]

Where you guys get your metal liner (brass/nickle silver/copper) flat stock from? I've been purchasing from Jantz but I am curious if there is a cheaper option out there.

Thanks in advance!

I just recently ordered copper and 416 bar stock and pins from Sheffield supply. Good price and they had a few different dimensions available.

I just looked them up only about an hour and a half away did you call to order? I don't see a website

Yes I call in orders. They have a pdf catalog so I just write down the numbers of the item I want and call it in.

 

[groy87]

Do you have a link to the catalog? Several of the links in google aren't working :/.

 

[Josh Rider]

I couldn't access it either.
Here's their number: 1-800-874-7007

Sheffield seems to be a old school. You can download their print catalog but you can't order on-line. Just call them up and tell them what you need and they will immediately tell you if they have it or not. Seem to be very nice people. I get the feeling it is a family operation. My experience with them has all been good.

Looks like last activity on their facebook page was a couple yr ago. Sure would be nice to have a webpage that was active. Their http://www.sheffieldsupply.com/ doesn't seem to work at all.

Most often: http://onlinemetals.com. I do use Sheffield for hard to find stuff.

I've used onlinemetals in the past, but it does seem that http://www.industrialmetalsales.com/ tend to have better prices overall, especially when shipping is factored in.

In my experience as well ^^^^^

I've had good experiences with Sheffield as well for liner/bolster materials and micarta. I agree that I would be more willing to pull the trigger on things if their website had even basic online ordering capacity. Shopify.com Sheffield if you are reading this!!!!!!

I actually just placed an order from online metals for copper sheet, silicon bronze rod, and some 3/8 A36 square bar that was on sale for extra cheep. My experience was that, for a 77.00 order, shipping was going to be 40 bucks. Out of curiosity, I changed the lengths of my order, raising the price slightly to see if shipping would be cheaper, lo and behold a window popped up saying I qualified for 50 bucks off shipping. Changed my order a bit and ended up spending 80 bucks with free shipping. :thumbup:

Don't you use the 304 SS for bolsters and 316 for pins?

I think you'll find most folks tend to use the same material for bolsters and pins - that allows the pins to "disappear" better when finishing. Using different materials makes it VERY hard to get the pins to disappear.
