MGE — live catalog on Project Parabellum
MGE Wholesale runs a smaller, focused catalog and delivers it to Project Parabellum as scheduled file drops rather than a live API connection. It fits best as a supplemental account in a dealer's distributor mix — a narrower catalog checked alongside a bigger primary feed rather than run instead of one.
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 MGE lists the most of
MGE 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 MGE lists and which other distributors carry it.
- MICROTECH at MGE712
- Ruger at MGE384
- Magpul at MGE335
- Spyderco at MGE314
- Taurus at MGE237
- Henry at MGE212
- Hornady at MGE188
- Winchester at MGE181
- Springfiel at MGE158
- Kershaw at MGE147
- LEAPERS at MGE132
- Kimber at MGE129
Counts are active listings at the last sync. The list stops at MGE’s largest brands, so a brand missing from it is one we have not counted here, not one MGE does not carry.
What MGE lists most of
MGE describes its catalog in its own words, and we resolve those descriptions against one shared vocabulary before counting. A category below therefore means the same thing here as it does on every other distributor’s page. Counts are active listings.
Largest categories by active listings
- Firearm
- 3,665
- Knife & Tool
- 1,765
- Other
- 1,009
- Ammunition
- 465
- Optic
- 286
The list stops at MGE’s eight largest categories. A category missing from it is one we have not counted here, not one MGE does not carry.

“At MGE only” is read one row at a time: it counts UPCs MGE 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 MGE carries anywhere — that would need every distributor weighed against every other at once, which these pairwise numbers cannot do.

Where they will ship it
- Ships to your store
- Yes — Every distributor here ships to your own licensed premises — that is what a wholesale account is, not a policy any one of them publishes.
MGE publishes nothing about shipping a dealer’s order anywhere else. That is not a refusal — ask them.
