Defunct Lock, Stock & Barrel Sells Customer List to MidwayUSA

lock, stock, and barrelLock, Stock, & Barrel (LS&B), a family-run vendor of ammunition, reloading supplies, and shooting accessories, has gone out of business. We’ve been informed that the Nebraska-based business filed for bankruptcy and that the doors are shut for good.

We’re sad to see any business failure in our industry. Lockstock.com often had attractive specials, particularly on optics. But, ultimately, they couldn’t compete with the larger online retailers, such as Midsouth Shooters Supply, Graf & Sons, and MidwayUSA.

LS&B Customer List To Be Sold to MidwayUSA — Opt-Out Procedure
The remaining inventory and assets of LS&B are being sold off. As part of that process, LS&B is selling its customer list to MidwayUSA. LS&B recently sent out this email notice to its past customers: “[LS&B] ceased doing business and intends to sell its inventory and customer list, including personally identifiable nformation (‘PII’), consisting of your name, address, phone number and e-mail address (no credit card, banking, or other personal or financial information) to Midway Arms, Inc., dba MidwayUSA[.]”

If you are a past Lock, Stock, & Barrel customer and you do NOT want your information shared with MidwayUSA, please follow the “opt-out” instructions in the recent email, or send a request to be removed from the mailing list to: optoutlockstock@gmail.com .
