Iron Valley — live catalog on Project Parabellum
Iron Valley Supply's catalog only shows up on the hub once a dealer connects their own SFTP login — like Crow Shooting Supply, it uses credentials tied to a specific dealer account rather than a shared integration key, so there's no general Iron Valley feed syncing independent of any one dealer the way there is for the API-based distributors here.
Catalog and stock counts below come from an automated sync into a shared vocabulary, which is what lets the same UPC be compared across distributors elsewhere on this site.

Brands Iron Valley lists the most of
Iron Valley spells manufacturer names its own way in its feed, and we resolve those spellings to one manufacturer before counting. Follow a brand through to see how much of it Iron Valley lists and which other distributors carry it.
- Winchester at Iron Valley964
- Ruger at Iron Valley837
- Savage at Iron Valley708
- Sig Sauer at Iron Valley625
- Federal at Iron Valley588
- Remington at Iron Valley560
- Taurus at Iron Valley498
- Leupold at Iron Valley455
- Allen Company at Iron Valley424
- Springfield Armory at Iron Valley420
- Hornady at Iron Valley410
- Smith & Wesson at Iron Valley382
Counts are active listings at the last sync. The list stops at Iron Valley’s largest brands, so a brand missing from it is one we have not counted here, not one Iron Valley does not carry.
What Iron Valley lists most of

“At Iron Valley only” is read one row at a time: it counts UPCs Iron Valley lists and the distributor in that row does not. The figures do not add up across rows, and none of them is a count of what only Iron Valley carries anywhere — that would need every distributor weighed against every other at once, which these pairwise numbers cannot do.

Drop ship goes to an FFL, not a doorstep
Their drop-ship service ships to another FFL holder's location chosen from ATF EzCheck, not to a consumer residence; the consumer's details are passed to the receiving dealer, who hands the item over at pickup. ironvalleysupply.com, read 2026-09-04
Drop-ship conditions
Drop-ship orders must be firearms or SOT items only, must be fully in stock with no backorders, and carry a flat $12.50 fee with no minimum order; SOT items must be on an order by themselves. ironvalleysupply.com, read 2026-09-04
Eleven brands excluded
Browning, Glock, FN, IWI US, Marlin, Outdoor Edge, Ruger, Sigarms, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory and Winchester are excluded from drop-shipping, and they keep a “Do Not Drop Ship” list of FFLs who decline transfers. ironvalleysupply.com, read 2026-09-04
Century-old distributor
Founded in Birmingham, Alabama in 1923 as the Stacy Williams Company, later Bangers LP, renamed Iron Valley Supply Co. in 2021. ironvalleysupply.com, read 2026-09-04
