01
It Started With A Curio & Relic License
Beverly Supply Company LLC was started in 2021 with a simple goal: to provide customers with a more enjoyable, straightforward, and personal firearm-buying experience. The road here ran through an unexpected detour. After retiring from the trucking industry due to medical reasons, I spent some time on disability — and during that time, a friend introduced me to the Curio & Relic (C&R) license and the opportunities it provided for building a personal firearm collection. What began as a way to stay engaged turned into a genuine education in old military rifles, surplus handguns, and the paperwork that moves them across state lines.

A Relocation To West Virginia — And A New Idea
After relocating to West Virginia, my interest in firearms kept growing, and it eventually led me to start my own gun shop. I had experienced firsthand how frustrating buying a firearm could be at some shops — long waits just to get help, followed by even longer waits to complete the paperwork and check out. Standing on the other side of that counter, I felt there had to be a better way. That belief became the foundation of Beverly Supply Company LLC.
03
Buying A Firearm Should Be Enjoyable — Not Stressful
What began as something to keep me busy quickly became something I truly enjoyed. I believe buying a firearm should be an enjoyable experience — not a stressful or time-consuming one. So the shop was built around that idea from day one: no long waits to get help, no slow line at the checkout, no mystery about what happens next. When you walk in, the person behind the counter is the owner — the same person whose name is on the license, and the same person who answers the phone the next day if you have a question.
04
Upfront About Costs, Paperwork And NFA Requirements
I make every effort to provide personal service, answer questions, and make the process as clear and efficient as possible. I'm also upfront about costs and paperwork, including any additional requirements associated with NFA items, so customers know what to expect before moving forward. Nobody hears about a fee, a form, or a waiting period after the fact — if you're considering a suppressor or another NFA item, you'll get the whole picture before any paperwork starts. The same standard applies to an FFL transfer on a rifle you bought online or a box of ammunition off the shelf.
05
A Pause In 2025 — And A Full-Time Return
In 2025, I had to take some time away from the business for additional medical reasons. I'm grateful to be back at it full-time throughout 2026 and have continued growing Beverly Supply Company LLC. We've expanded our selection to include NFA items as well as a wide range of firearm accessories — optics, slings, cases, cleaning kits, reloading gear and more. The time away didn't change the shop's direction; if anything, it confirmed this is exactly what I want to be doing.
06
The Goal Hasn't Changed Since 2021
