The challenge I face is living in SW Oklahoma in a city of about 95K. This is adjacent to Fort Sill, a "bum you-know-what" part of America. I do not want to buy such sought guns online or at any auction. The nearest major cities are Oklahoma City about 100 miles north and Dallas-Fort Worth about 200 miles south. This leaves me gun shows, local pawn/gun shops and Armslist. I'm not in a hurry to find though. I want to inspect each and every gun in person before putting down any money. I don't have the financial resources and time to spend traveling wide in pursuit of the guns. I have all my sought guns listed as Wanted to Buy on Armslist. My Armslist subscription is $6.99 these days. I figure if you live in or near a major metropolitan area, there are going to be many more used guns (and used vehicles and used lawn mowers and used washing machines) in circulation there. If somebody has a primo Colt Lawman or Savage Model 99, it's not apt to be up for sale in the first place. My local gun shop in Lawton is full of present-day plastic/tacticool guns. There was only one wood-stocked long gun in the whole shop. The nearest major gun show is in Tulsa about a 3 hour drive from me. More pre-2000 Mossberg 500 shotguns have been sold than Mothers cookies so there still should be plenty of those in circulation. I would think a Husky Model 3000 Crown Grade rifle to be quite rare these days. Yes, some of the classic guns are getting rare and expensive like 1960's muscle cars and 1950's Chevys and Fords.
