I went perusing Pawn Shops and Gun Shops.
Well - that is what the signs read anyway...
Not a single shot shotgun , especially in .410 to be had.
Not a single shot .22 rifle (like a Remington 514).
Folks didn't know what a Nylon 66 was...
NO Marlin 60's, Rem Speedmasters or Fieldmasters .
Where'd they go?
I used to pick these up all the time for very little money.
Back when [tm] before the Pawn folks and Mom&Pop Gun stores I knew an d dealt with either retired, died, or both...These folks would hold back and call me when this stuff came in. I don't know how many over the years I have bought and given away.
I guess perhaps smaller towns is where these are??
Now I did learn Remington never made a pump .22 Rifle. And that 10/22 with the thumbhole stock in ...well...kinda a cross between "Planet of the Apes" and "Mad Max" ...lets just say it was "customized" is what the folks in the Sandbox are using for Special Covert Urban Warfare...
That's news to me coach... Far be it for me to agrue with a guy wearing his lunch and a Hyundai ball cap.
Yes I know one can get new H&R Toppers, and the Rossi .410s, along with Romanian Trainers and new Marlin 60's for little money.
Still - where be the OLD Rem, Win. Savages ... etc single shot .22 rifles? What about all the OLD single shot .410s?
Please tell me these are being hoarded for memories and young'uns. And not turned in to buy-back programs. Please.
Sigh...
