The closest thing I know of in a local store is 80 grit aluminum oxide at Harbor Freight. Brownells sells some smaller quantities of media than I have seen elsewhere if you're looking to avoid high shipping costs. Their "coarse" is 120 grit.
Where or what type of store/supplier do I go to locally for 120 grit aluminum oxide?
I've looked online, it seems to require ordering from specialty supply houses. I thought I should be able to get it locally. If not, who do you that use this stuff recommend?

120 mesh is 120 grit.
Any sandblasting supply company in the yellow pages listed under sandblasting-supplies.
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
for what do you need sandblasting media ? It#s very abrasive.
For gunparts I always use glass bead blasting, nice matte touch and less abrasive. Strong enought to remove rust.
GunKote pretty much "requires" it before applying. I called the company and the techs would not budge on that. They said it is needed for proper adhesion. I have yet to try it, but I am also hoping it will create a textured, matte surface. I would also like to see what I can get, finish wise, with the glass bead blasting.
I just checked Tractor Supply website and they sell some. If your local store doesn't carry it they can probably get it with free shipping if shipped to the store.
