I'm on a budget for time and money to spend traveling all over creation. I do have the virtue of patience. Some person just emailed me today about a Colt Lawman he has for sale already from my Armslist WTB listing. I just emailed him or her back to ask him where he is located. There are a number of PAWN shops all over Lawton, Oklahoma and USED firearms is what they often deal in. I did see a Savage 99 listed at a dealer in Oklahoma City and saw the pictures of it on line later last year. I passed it up because of the holes drilled in the receiver for mounting a scope. If the markings were clean and all the gun needed was a re-blue, I might have spent a couple of hours for the round-trip to grab her otherwise. There are millions of Mossberg 500's all over the place and a pre-2000 one is bound to show up at a local pawn sooner or later.

I do have two late-model guns I'm trying sell right now as a matter of fact. Trading out is even possible.
