List your Firearms or Gear Related Business in the GunLink Directory

GunLink DirectoryIf you are reading this post, you obviously already know about the GunLink Blog.  You might also visit the GunLink Forums to read or participate in discussions, firearms related or otherwise, with fellow firearms enthusiasts.  But are you familiar with the original heart of GunLink?

GunLink’s origins (and name) come from the GunLink Directory – a yellow pages of sorts for firearms, hunting, shooting and gear related businesses.  It is no secret that many popular search engines, social media outlets, auction sites and similar websites are rabidly anti-gun, so we wanted to provide an online resource to help firearms-friendly businesses connect with customers and potential customers.  Thus, the GunLink Directory was born.

Buy, Sell and Trade on the GunLink Marketplace

Marketplace PrizesIt is no secret that many companies are anti-gun.  There are stories about PayPal freezing accounts used to purchase firearms accessories.  eBay seems to selectively police what is and is not allowed for sale on their website on a whim.  Amazon recently announced changes that will allow fewer types of firearms accessories to be listed for sale.  Facebook disallows firearms related advertising and, along with Instagram, is cracking down on private sales of firearms.  If you have ever tried to post wanted or for sale ads for  firearms or accessories on Craig’s List, you know that they are almost immediately flagged and deleted.

Putting aside the politics and the theory that this is just more propaganda to demonize anything related to firearms, it makes it difficult to complete legitimate, individual, private sales of firearms and accessories.  Let’s say you have a box of holsters you don’t use or a firearm you no longer shoot or magazines for a rifle you no longer own.  How can you sell your items if you can not list them on eBay or Amazon to get widespread exposure or even Facebook or Craig’s List for the local crowd?  This is a familiar, frustrating experience for many people in the market to buy or sell firearms and firearms related accessories.

All hope is not lost, however.  The recently-opened GunLink Marketplace is a section of the online GunLink Forums with sections to post for sale, wanted and wanted to trade ads for legal transactions between private individuals.  Forum members are able to post their buy/sell/trade announcements in the forums, communicate with the other parties to the transaction, view and leave feedback and more.

As a bonus, since the GunLink Marketplace is brand new, to get things started we are even offering an opportunity to win some prizes just for posting your ad.  For a limited time, when you post a buy/sell/trade ad in the GunLink Marketplace, you will be entered for a chance to win some great prizes like firearm-related stickers and patches, knives, flash drives, paracord gear and more.

GunLink Makes Twitter Top 50 List

The Shooting 50Just in time for the 2014 iteration of the NSSF SHOT Show, GunLink made the cut on Wide Open Spaces’ The Shooting 50: Top Twitter Accounts to Follow in the Firearm Industry, which they describe as their “list of the most influential Twitter profiles in the firearms industry.”  To be sure, we’re in good company.
