Go to Cody next week.  I’m sure you can find some 66’s.  You need to find collector shows in your area.

Don’t buy guns you have not actually picked up and inspected.

Good luck with that–unless you live near Baltimore, Allentown, Denver, Reno, a few other places.  Black rifle shows, that’s different.

Clarence, I know they are harder to find than they used to be.  When I was traveling with gun dealers we went to over a dozen shows a year. Even a couple in Ca.  Next best place is auction houses where you can preview the items.  Some gun shops have antiques too. If you go to a large show there is always a directory for the dealers who are attending the show.  Look in the Winchester Collector.
