Shawn Hoague started collecting militaria at 8 years old and firearms at 12. By 16, he had 44 guns. That obsession turned into expertise—he's spent decades studying military markings, reference materials, and the details that separate a $500 rifle from a $5,000 one. Now he runs Dogface Supply in Addison, Vermont, selling collectible military and commercial firearms with the kind of specificity only a real collector can provide.
"I show the item, warts and all, and an HONEST description. Buy with confidence."

"I value my customers and their time, so please call ahead to make sure I'm here." — Shawn
Dogface Supply is the opposite of big-box firearms retail. You're buying from someone with 40+ years of knowledge who can tell you why a specific 1951 Remington 722 in .222 Rem is collectible (only 3,803 made), what makes early Kimber Yonkers pistols sought-after, or whether that M1 Garand is the real deal. No fancy photography hiding problems—just honest descriptions, competitive pricing, and no unnecessary tax charges for out-of-state buyers.
