This site does not have as much stuff as mc master does but it definitely carries more then any local hardware or building supply. ( at least any I have been to ). Here is a link to the raw materials section where lots of useful things can be found that are normally un available or very hard to find for most Canadian nerfers. I have just ordered some poly carbonate and assorted plastic rods from them. It ships out of the USA so shipping is more then local shipping. If anyone has a better alternative to this site please feel free to post a reply. Hope this helps

If they ship out of the US why not just use McMaster-Carr?

I do use McMaster. The only resin they will ship to me is because I order is threw my families business. McMaster will not ship to Canada unless it is to a business. I posted that web site for anyone in Canada that does not own a business or does not know anyone that owns a business that will order for them. The location of that sites warehouse is closer to the Canadian border then any McMaster warehouse if I'm not mistaken so shipping would be a little less expensive.

That site seems to have some good prices but a $30 minimum shipping, not so good. Alternatively, I can get you materials if you like with some shipping cost because Canada is expensive to ship to. Sweet deals

Or hell, Spiderbite has sweet deals on this stuff now, so there's really no reason not to Rainbow.

Ok, thanks. When I order from Mcmaster I usually order a lot, it would be pointless for mw to pay shipping on a McMaster order and then again on one from you. The only thing you stiock that I need is the nylon and delrin. thanks for the offer though ill contact you if I'm ever just ordering rods or something else you carry.

Just out of curiosity, what are you buying from McMaster that I don't carry?

If you carry more then what is listed on the post linked in your comment this will be wrong. clear pvc 1/2, 1.25 inch. thick wall pvc 1/2 inch. polycarbonate tubes, pvc wye joints, t joints, end caps and bushings, stand offs, petg in multiples sized, brass in multiple sizes, stand offs, felt pads,[k26] springs, delrin rods and square rods ( you might have those I don't remember) trigger springs, catch springs, fbr and skirt seals.

I'm not sure if "thinck" Wall PVC is a real thing, but I definitely don't carry it. Also I can get you very cheap K26s and K25s separately. Just PM me.

If you are looking for opaque fittings, except for the much sought-after 1/2" PVC wye, then just check your local hardware store. I can still get you some in your order for cheap if you want. FlexPVC.com sells 1/2" wyes and other odd ball joints and they ship internationally.

I do carry clear 1 1/4" PVC, it runs $40 right now.

I have standoffs, In several sizes. They have been added.

1 3/8" Polycarbonate tube is carried on Amazon.com with Prime shipping for crazy cheap.

I have added catch springs.

ok well thats grate. I didn't memorize your list so a lot of mine was wrong. It really does not make sense for me to order from you and Mc master and pay shipping twice especially when Mc master gave me a quote of $15 for shipping on a 300 dollar order. I know flex pvc sells wyes, but like I said there is no resin to pay shipping more then once if I can just get everything I need from one place. Thanks for the offer, ill let you know if i ever want anything
