Bucks County Pawn Shops - Anybody Haunt Them?

[Arcana71]

I have a bit of a hankering for an inexpensive new toy. To be honest, I'm thinking of picking up one of the old H&R/NEF 9-round 22lr revolvers. I'm not quite sure why, but I've wanted one since I was a kid. The people who have the old break-top 999/Sportsman models are holding on to them, but I believe the others are probably out there for sale at very reasonable prices.

That's when the light bulb lit up over my head: "Scour the Pawn Shops, dumbass!"

Of course, that was quickly followed by the realization that I don't know where any are, least of all any good ones. Maybe some board members can help me out with this dilema. But then again, there is a difference between simply finding one and finding a good one.

Any ideas, anyone? The help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I do not believe Pawning guns in Pa is legal. That is why you really do not see any guns in pawn shops. I may be wrong though.

I've never trusted pawn shops for anything. Personally, I would put the word out to some of the local shops that I was looking for this item and hope they could do the leg work. Guns N Things in Penndel, Surplus City in Feasterville, RAF in Bristol, Classic Pistol in Southampton...good luck in the hunt...Mike45

Guns N Things in Penndel!! Erinie & Mary Ann are TOPS!! Check them out. I & others in my family have bought from them for yrs.!!

In truth, I've been to every shop mentioned with the exception of Classic Pistol. To be perfectly honest, I was simply playing with the notion of a relatively inexpensive "project" .22 revolver. Just something with which I could tinker... a knockaround gun.

By the way... you're right: Guns n' Things, Surplus City and RAF (my boys) are all good people. Haven't been to Classic Pistol yet, as I said. But while we're at it... has anyone had any dealings with Phoenix Wholesale, also out of the Feasterville/Trevose area? Just curious.

Thanks.
