That Culver City store was probably Martin Retting. They’re still there. Still one of the best around for Hollywood film guns and other curios if you’re a known and welcomed customer. They don’t appeal to younger shooters with no sense of history who are just looking for the best retail prices on something mundane. Back in the, 80s and 90s, their consignment cabinets had some real jewels in there, mostly arms being sold by the families/inheritors of long time Hollywood studio employees and actors. Some people have been reported being treated like snot at Retting, but I just regard Retting as having some class. If they know you, it’s a different experience. I love places like that.
The B&B Wholesale I shopped at was in Orange County in Westminster.
Man, those were the days.
Martin Retting sure rings a bell. Been 40+ years since I haunted those stores.
