Where in Ohio are you?
Gun World (614 876-1657) in Hilliard always seems to have an older AR or two around. I don't care much for the store but it would be the first place (other than a gun show) that I'd look for a pre-ban locally. |

I'm in Northeast Ohio--Cleveland/Akron area. I'm just a little frustrated with gun shows. Last one, I didn't see a single pre-ban Bushy.
Gun World? I'll have to check that out. Thanks. |

Honestly, I was hoping to do a face-to-face transfer. My local gunshop is a pain in the rear to do FFL transfers through, and I'm a little leary of buying online...

Where in Ohio are you? Two of my friends each bought pre-bans at the Coon Dog trials last year in Kenton, Ohio. Reasonably priced, from private individuals...

If you make it down to Columbus sometime, go to Aumiller Gun Shop in downtown Westerville (NE suburb). They also have some Class 3 weapons in there.
Gun World is in downtown Hilliard (W suburb). His selection has thinned out over the past several years, lack of business probably. There are some other shops around town, just check out the yellow pages when you get down here. |

a3kid,
I'm in the Akron-Cleveland area, but I get around. :) In fact, I drove through Kenton the other day actually. Chokey, Aumiller Gun Shop? I'll have to call down there and see what he has. Sounds cool. I get down to Columbus occasionally, so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks all. |

Go to the gunshows. You can always find them there from private owners.
Here are some links of show dates [url]www.gunshow.net/dates-old.htm[/url] [url]www.peoplesrights.org/page7.htm[/url] |

I'm in North Canton, good luck. I have yet to find a black rifle friendly store around here, and the only store near me is a huge sporting goods store that makes transfers a pain in the a$$.

I bought a Veper II .223 through gunsamerica.com. It was through a dealer. No problem. Would use that site again, many choices, good pricing. What about the equipment exchange here??

I live in Canton and know what you guys mean.
Here's two sites I use to keep any eye out for local shows: [url]http://www.ohiogunshows.com[/url] [url]http://www.co.medina.oh.us/comctr/events.htm[/url] If you haven't been to Knob Creek KY, it's a blast, plus they have a huge gun show down there. |

One reason it's hard to find evil rifles in the big cities of Ohio is because they all have their own laws about firearms. "Legally" in Cleveland you need to register your handgun and maybe a $10 fee and no assault rifles, which really sucks donkey dick. That's why I plan to move asap to another state.

I'm in the Canton area. I have a buddy who's looking to part with a pre ban Colt shorty and extras for a reasonable price. Email me and I can hook you up. It's a really nice SP1.

Fin, Feather and Fur is over in Ashland. I'm guessing he's refering to Kames. |

You may also want to try Best firearms in Painesville. Not sure about prebans but they are friendly towards sport Utility rifles.

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I haven't been to Fin, Feather, and Fur, but I've bought some stuff from Kames. They're a hit or miss kind of place, and I haven't been extremely excited with some of the treatment I've gotten there. I've seen Best Firearm's tables at the gunshows. I've never been to their store, though. They seem pretty good. I may try to hit the Medina Gun Show this weekend and see if I can track something down.
Thanks. |

I can you save you the trip to Lima if you ever planned on trying for a Pre-Ban there. Don't bother. Crappy show, very few black rifles. You could try the OGCA. |

I haven't had any luck at any shows around here picking prebans. I rather have private sales myself. Hopfully I'll find one soon. CAPITALIST

Quoted: Ohio Gun Collectors Association, right? How do I get in contact with them? You can go without joining if you know a member. Members get 4 passes for each show and can take guests, IIRC. Passes will cost you $5 when you get to the door. If you would like to join I believe you must be sponsored by a member and the fee is $75 per year. I gave thought to joining but hate the drive to Cleveland on US30. If they move to Wilmington I will become a member. Great shows from what I have been told. I found their site doing a Yahoo search. Follow the link on membership info [url]http://www.ogca.com/join.htm[/url] The Ohio Gun Collectors Association is a private organization - our shows are NOT open to the public. Our organization was founded in 1937, and has over 18,000 members from every state in the U.S.A., and from many foreign countries. To join, you must attend one of our meetings (shows) as an invited guest, sponsored by one of our current members. You may then pick up an application at the meeting, fill out the requested information, and return it AT THE MEETING. You must have two (2) sponsors, one of which must accompany you when you turn in the application. We do not accept mail-in applications. |

Well i'm in Akron right now. There's a place called BBC weapons (I think thats the name) in Hiram Ohio. They sell a huge number of Ar-15s. They usually have a few tables at most gun shows with nothing but AR's. They have a few pre-bans, and are very nice. I bought a stripped lower from them. Hiram is about 30-40 miles east of akron and close to where I live. If you check shotgun news or some of the other FFL locators it should have their phone #. If you wan't I can look it up in the book when I get home.
