    SoCal Folks: Best Gun Buying Source?

    I was out at Victoria Gardens/BassPro late last year and they were more or less well-stocked, especially with regard to handguns. Went out there yesterday, and the handgun stock was practically gone. The long-gun stock wasn't quite exciting, either.

    With the goof-a$$ed microstamping thing taking effect in 1/2010, I figure now's a good time to score a semi-auto or two, but obviously not from BassPro.

    [In case you're wondering, I'm not a fan of BassPro, but they were offering a pretty good deal... spend $600, get a $100 gift card, which I thought would cover some magazines and ammo.]

    Anyway, I'm looking at GunBroker and AuctionArms, but have never purchased in that fashion. I'm not adverse to purchasing from local B&M gun dealers, but I am willing to try something new, too. Here in my local area, the choices are Turner's (not my first choice), Fowler Gun Room, and a few others. For a good deal, I'd probably travel 40-50 miles, tops.

    From someone I know, I heard about "California Wholesale Co." on 6th Street in San Bernardino. Never shopped there, but if any of you have, I'd like to read your comments.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
