I was just gonna post about this also. They have an ungodly amount of .303 Savage brass left - and it's Norma brass at that!!
I placed an order for a bunch of stuff and the process is kind of convoluted. You fill your shopping cart and check out. Then they send you an email assigning a purchase order to it. Next step is you call them with your Purchase Order number in hand and your CC info, whereupon the ordering is finished and they'll mail your stuff. You cannot call them to place an order, has to be created online. Calling to pay has to be done between 7AM-12:30PM Pacific Time, Wednesday through Friday only. Calling any other time won't work. Warning: this sale is known about far and wide and they're flooded with orders - be patient. Stuff is disappearing from the place rapidly - I'm only able to actually get about half of what I ordered - so don't wait.

When I talked to the girl who answered the phone yesterday she sounded like she was at the end of her rope!

Yeah, I was going to grab some of that 25 Rem brass, until I saw the antiquated ordering process and decided to pass. Order, then call to process payment once you have a PO? Nah... I lived through 1997 before.

Their websites says they will call to finalize sale.
Did you guys call them once you received your P.O.?

No, placed an order and got an email. They called me a couple days later.
Gave them my credit card info over the phone.

They've been in business for 76 years. The current owner is 87 and retiring.
I don't think their business model failed them.

Thanks for the heads up. I placed a purchase order and am waiting for them to contact me for payment. Good deal. I bought a bunch even though I don't currently need them but I will.
Never used norma brass but I hear good things.

I talked with them this morning on an order I put in a few days ago. I've spent a great deal of my adult life going into Huntingtons on Oro Dam Blvd. in Oroville. And every visit always felt like what it would have been if you walked through their front door in 1965. I say that with a high degree of affection and not because I can't move on with the times. But instead because loosing a piece of the "neighborhood" always takes a toll. In conversation I heard two factors for their closing. One was Fred being 87-years old and the other was competition with the internet with Mr. Bezos' name coming to prominence. I'll miss cruising their racks of firearms for lost "average guy" treasures and taking the obligatory walk through Fred's museum in the back to gaze on some truly remarkable treasures of our firearms history.

Well put, Jeff. It's always sad to see an icon from our youth disappear.

I just placed a rather large order. I'll be pleasantly shocked if they actually have in stock what I ordered from their website. I guess time will tell. I had emailed this place a couple months ago about something they listed and no one ever responded. I'm hoping this time I get a response because I can't find this item anywhere else online. Thanks for the info on their ordering process. Without it I would have given up.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Got my order in for 303. Mark put 3 things in his cart and got a “”Sorry, all 3 items are sold out”, e-mail.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Got my order in for 303. Mark put 3 things in his cart and got a “”Sorry, all 3 items are sold out”, e-mail. I got an order in for 400 .303. Now I need to start looking for a decent rifle. 🤣 They were out of the 7-08 and .35 Rem brass I was looking for.

I ordered 200 pieces of 303 yesterday. With guys saying most of the stuff on their orders was already gone, I just ordered 200 more. We shall see?

Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, we are sold out of the cases you want. Sorry we couldn’t help you.
Sincerely,
HuntingtonsI'm not shocked at all. I tried grabbing any 25,30,32 or 35 Remington brass they had listed. Oh well.
