Rough 'N Ready Rob Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Does anyone know what happened to The Smith Shop and Bill English? Went to the site no longer there. He was a great guy to do business with. Thanks. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Bill retired , several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OK Dirty Dan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 When I try to go to his old website, it forwards me to onlineoutpost.net. Seems to be an outfit which perhaps bought his stock and or designs and is now making/selling them? I've never heard of them before so it does make me a little concerned about ordering from there with the website all of a sudden forwarding like that.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Even though Bill English was retired, his website was up, selling parts, until very recently. I don't see his modified carrier for short cartridges on that new website, so wonder if that is no longer available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outlaw Travis James Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I just purchased parts from The Smith Shop a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yep, the website was re-directed to Online Outpost just a few days ago. The Smith Shop site had been filling orders until then (as I understand, with help from his kid(s)). The modified lifter for toggle link short cartridges was custom made by Bill, probably upon order. Does indeed look like existing stock went to Online Outpost. A sad loss, but a well deserved retirement! Enjoy, Bill! good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Mulo Vaquero, SASS #55942 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Terri at the Online Outpost has been selling cowboy gunparts for close to ten years. She has taken on The Smith Shop's sales and most of the inventory. She has strived to be a one stop shop for cowboy gun parts and will indeed take good care of you.

Rough 'N Ready Rob Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Thanks for all the replies. I too got the Outpost when I went to The Smith Shop, I'm sure when Bill's inventory is gone it will be for ever, that is sad. I'm glad to hear he retired, I wish him the best of luck.

Online Outpost Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Hello everyone! Terri Little aka Durango Trader SASS 98667. I am taking over most of The Smith Shop from Bill English aka Happy Trails. Bill is doing great and will be keeping on his .45 carrier and still selling USFA Lightning Rifle Parts. Online Outpost sells all of our favorite CAS Gun Parts: Pioneer Gun Works Cowboys and Indian Evil Roy Sure Hit Sights Palo Verde Gunworks Griner GunWorks SliXprings F and D Gunsmithing Wild Bodie Tom Hope I didn't miss someone. I started with Evil Roy and Wicked Felina selling gun parts and firearms about 15 years ago. When Evil Roy and Wicked Felina moved to Dublin, TX I took over their gun parts. I still work with them on their website on an almost daily basis along with Griner GunWorks. I strive to offer the best American made upgraded gun parts available for Uberti rifles and 1897 shotguns. I have worked with Bill English - The Smith Shop for many years and am looking forward to continuing selling the parts he has designed and upgraded.

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Might want to buy the C45S carrier now if you think you might ever need one. They work great, we have 2, but no one else makes them. But I believe in being prepared, can't have too much gun stuff! Look at all those who were caught short with the primers and such.

And it would be easy to sell it later if desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
