I got all of my best gun deals this year, some because a local gun shop closed back in June, some off of the internet buying through gun forums, and a couple from gun shows.
My dad is the one that gets the really good deals. A couple of years ago he scored a Winchester Model 94 Trapper for $75 and a very nice S&W Model 36 Chief's Special, also for $75.
Here's a list of my best deals:
New Uberti 1873 Springfield Trapdoor Carbine - $350
New Uberti 1885 Highwall Carbine .45-70 - $350
New Uberti Baby Rolling Block .22 - $250
New S&W 637 Carry Combo - $250 (it was stolen from the gunshop and returned with a nick on the cylinder)
Near new S&W 646 - $425 (probably the best deal I got)
Near new S&W 315 Night Guard - $550 inc S&H
Near new S&W 586 L-Comp $575 inc S&H
Used (<300 rds) S&W Classic Model 22, Model of 1917 - $475 inc S&H
Used AWA Lightning .45LC - $200, traded it straight up a week later for a new RIA .38 Super 1911 GI
I bought several others but these were the best deals.
