I shop at Blythe's on a regular basis. Usually the Griffith store. Their customer service has been fantastic. One thing I don't like is their transfer fee charges. They hit you for $50 per transfer, no matter the type, no matter the quantity.

By the way, I believe Fetla's Trading Post is now out of business??? I know they had a "going out of business" sale at the Valpo store. Perhaps the KNOX location was not affected?

I do all my inbound transfers through C.N.I. Inc. Chuck Ivy is the owner, he has his son and a couple other guys in the store too. Its a VERY SMALL shop, not very clean, fixtures are old and the store is not well stocked. But for some reason I really like the shop. You walk in and he has a wood stove burning away, and some wooden stools at the counter. Its the kind of shop where you go in and talk guns, you never feel rushed, and he will get you whatever gun you want, he probably just doesn't stock it. He runs some gun shows on the weekends, and attends others, so you may not find Chuck at the store Sat/Sunday. He's a pretty big guy, sort of gruff, but get to know him and he's a really nice guy who will bend over backwards to take care of his customers. His transfers are reasonable, 1/2 the price of Blythe's!
