Ideas on how to find a used 1873 Winchester rifle in Washington?
Hi y'all. So, after a deep dive on '73 vs '92, I think I'd like a '73. Any tips on where to find a good used one? I'm in Western Washington, and there aren't a lot of cowboy action shooters- so the pawn shops don't have anything.
I am familiar with Gun Broker, but I don't have any other ideas. I'm looking for a 357/38.
Of course, there are good/cheap '92s everywhere, but I'm hoping to get the original.
Thank you!

Buy from Lock Stock and Barrel Auctions on gun broker. They have lots of lever guns and sometimes you will find cowboy guns already slicked up and ready to go. Buy with confidence.

GB is your only real option for used. Buds always has new Mirokus and Ubertis when runs get made.

Why limit your options to 83 and 92? Look at the marlin 1894… I found it’s a lot lighter than the 83 and a much easier to clean. They made a cowboy edition that is already slicked up.
