Ya think so? I spent all day looking for a couple of 1/4" NPT-1/4" hose fittings a couple of weeks ago to plumb the gas system on my new MIG welder with, and nobody in town had them. I finally found them in plastic at an oldtime hardware store on the town square! All the FLAPS have just about stopped stocking brass fittings of any sort.
