    I'm not sure where they would accept since they won't accept Rio
    Grande. You can try Hoover & Strong 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/resources/detail-hoover_and_strong-1615.html

    which has a very wild selection of metal stock and mountings. I have
    bought from them in the past when I needed specialty stock and was
    VERY please with there service. 

    Personally I gave up on Stuller when they closed down Swest. Swest
    was much more of a personable company to work with and I was in the
    Dallas branch two to three times a week picking up metals and other
    supplies. I pretty much switched to them exclusively since I was
    given an automatic quantity price any time I purchased. Well Stuller
    decided to shut Swest down and promised a smooth transition for the
    customers. After several weeks of phone calls, I finally got my
    customer number, but they had not transferred my quality pricing
    over and refused to set me up with any level of discounts for
    metals. I decided to go back to getting quotes from other places and
    Rio was coming up cheaper every time in the 50oz to 100oz range for
    Sterling so I just threw the Stuller catalogs and stuff into the
    archive filing cabnet in the back and went with Rio for most things.
