2014 is the 25th Anniversary of Wolverine Supplies. From a humble start coming west in a covered wagon, Mr. and Mrs. Wolverine built their business into what we have all come to know and love today.

We thought it would be fun for folks to post pictures of some of their memorable purchases from Wolverine Supplies. If you have something that you purchased from years ago, even better. Post away
and let's see what you have to share.

The staff here have decided to start off this thread with a few pictures showing some of the memorable purchases we have from Wolverine Supplies. There will be more to come from other staff in the days that follow.

Mrs. Wolverine wanted to show off her most memorable Wolverine purchase. Yes, that is a Thompson! Eat your hearts out guys.

Spice Wolverine contributed a couple of pictures showing off her Armalite. This is one of the first ones after the flattops started to become available.

Wolferine contributed a couple of pictures for us. One is of his tricked out SL-8 and the second one is of a strange deer that apparently Wolverine sold at one time, or it could possibly be the rifle in the picture with him :D

Wolverine Guy shared a picture of his SAM Thunderbolt that he loves so much and shoots very well, I might add

Lastly for today is one from Ol' Grumpy himself. Wasn't sure what to post so thought I'd show my old Winchester Garand (1943), British L1A1, British MkV Sten and my trusty old Colt SP1.
The wooden crate in the picture is 1 of the 3 that came in when Wolverine Supplies received the first shipment of BRS-99's into Canada way back when.

Nice.

For those of us who don't know, is there a nicks-to-names cheat sheet of who you guys are on here?

I know who maybe 2 of you are :p
 
I had been on a 'pre-order' for a Polytech M305 for almost two years with another place and got fed up, so I called Wolverine (years ago now) and wanted to buy one you had in stock. However, you were so busy that day I was on hold for some time, but to make a customer happy (I realized since then) I made my order with John himself!!! Not only did I get to talk to the main man, but it shipped that day!

Thanks guys!

Until the next purchase!

EDIT: Picture up. This is a few years after purchase once I got some schwag on it and some practice:

I can't say it was from the actually harvest, or the actual animal... but this one always seemed to taste the best for some reason!

Howdy Mr. Wolverine,

I'm currently reading 'Unintended Consequences', by John Ross, and if you are familiar with it, you'll know that there is a lot of talk about hunting in Africa, and double-barreled rifles. It's all new to me, and when I saw that picture of your double, I thought I'd ask what it was, and any other info you'd feel like posting.

I know you're a busy guy, but I thought I'd try.

Cheers.

Mr. Wolverine is a little busy today so let me see if I can help. The rifle in the picture is a double barrel 8 bore cartridge rifle, made by Jos. Manton.

Thanks. It looks like the Rogers Rock & Co. 8 Bore Double Rifle that's on your site, but it's hard to tell, the picture being blurry when I zoom in on it, and me being a total noob.
 
Congratulations on 25 years.

John, may I ask, what did you do before Wolverine? Were you always in the firearms industry?

Another great thread, keep the pics coming.

Side question; Is Grumpy someones brother, that just couldn't find work elsewhere. Was it like a family obligation, to keep him from riding rail cars across Canada?
Just curious is all.... :p

Cheers all
 
Love the pics....the only comment I have is, Mrs. Wolverine appears to have aged wayyyyy less than Mr. Woverine :)
