Something we have all been hoping for for a long time has been an airsoft retailer that carries everything we need, is based in the center of the state (1 day ship), and vends at all major games. Obviously this would help grow the sport and make things more convenient for the state's player base by providing for their needs without them having to spend a lot on shipping or wait for things to come in for days. We all like the added benefit of doing business with someone we know and trust, and someone who is local and can really pay attention to our needs and wants.

We were all very excited about it when Adrian (Grimwulf) opened up Southeastern Airsoft a while back, it did well and we couldn't have asked for a better guy to give it a shot. It looked like it was even heading for a storefront. Sadly, he was so good at his day job that he ended up having to choose between the two, and unfortunately is no longer in the airsoft business (though hopefully we will see him on the field again soon).

Well, after that, I was disappointed, but hoped that someone else would come along and take the monetary risk of starting their own airsoft retail business in SC. It didn't happen. A few months ago I started thinking about doing it myself, and since then have been doing what it takes to make it happen. I didn't say anything because I wanted it to be a surprise, and I still had a lot of issues to work out.

Well, I am pleased to announce that I will be opening SC Airsoft Supply in Lexington SC shortly. I will be vending at games with most of my inventory on hand, including just about everything you need. I will still do tech work of course, but now you will rarely have to wait on parts, as you can simply buy them from me and not have to pay shipping or wait for them as long as they are in stock. I have a broad enough inventory to cover most of what you need, and will be looking forward to your feedback on what to add to my inventory. The more I sell, the larger and broader of an inventory I can stock. I hope to have just about everything you would ever want me to carry within the next year. My initial stock purchase was not small however, and I think you all will be pleasantly surprised. I will post a sneak peek at some items later on.

I will almost certainly be doing a pre-opening 'opening' this Saturday, since some of my stock arrived early and Smitty will not be able to be there to provide for you this weekend. Again, you can expect a full opening of the store by TDC, meaning the website up and SC Airsoft Supply vending at all AOSC games.

I hope that I will be able to gain your confidence and valued business at SC Airsoft Supply in the same manner I have done so with my airsmithing, by doing my very best for a reasonable price and actually caring that you get your money's worth.

Airsoft in general, and especially the sport and it's players in this state, have been a real passion of mine for some time now. I really enjoy everything about it, and I genuinely want to make the sport great for everyone. I see this as one more way I can try my very hardest to do so for you.

Henry, I love you.

P.S. If you open an actual store in Lexington, I'd love to be your coffee boy.

I am so proud of you Henry and I wish you nothing but the best in this business venture! Since I am no longer actively pursuing Southeastern Airsoft, I will, without doubt, now be giving you all of my business! Congratulations!

If things go as planned, you should rent out one of the open areas at the old mill in Lexington.

That would be great...especially seeing that I live within a couple miles of there.

I literally live next to it so I can just walk there

so you can give me a bag of BBs to replace the ones you stole . And that is awesome Dom. I can't wait

that sounds great hope it works out and wish you the best

WOOT!! this will be osm!!

Gratz Dom!  I actually have an order list for TDC that I will put off for a few weeks till your online store is up and running!

Well I know where I'm buying all my stuff from now

Sweet, I have just checked in part of my initial inventory, which includes almost everything you would ever need to build any gearbox version in any manner; along with mags; bbs; eyepro; slings; externals of all kinds; batteries; etc.

I will try to get up a list of what I will have at the game beforehand, and though the planned launch date is just prior to TDC for the website, I will do my best to have it done sooner.

Until I have an inventory not lacking in anything, I will be putting as much into it as I can. So, everything you buy from me now just means more options for you later down the road. Two things I have always found annoying are poor in-stock/out-of-stock updates and small inventories that leave out key items. I aim to stock everything you need sooner rather than later, and I will wait longer to see a return on my investment if it means I can grow my inventory faster.

This is a great suggestion, and I will look into it as soon as my bottom line allows. My grandmother actually worked there for 30 years back when it was a textile mill.

If not, there are like 6-7 shops for rent on main, and i think theres an open place down hwy 1 outside of town limits.

Congratulations Dom! I will be buying things from you at games, and it would be nice to see a list of what you'll have.
