Good place to buy used lever guns in the Omaha area?

(1/3) > >>

Redstone:
I'm looking for an older Marlin 336 and am wondering where in Omaha has a good selection?

Went to Cabela's and they have some nice ones, but according to the guy behind the counter, they can't unlock them until sold, "company policy," he claimed, and "sold as is." That's crazy since then you can't inspect the bore or action. Deal breaker for me, so I left.

What other gun stores have a good selection? Or at least enough turn over that something might pop up?

Thank you.

David Hineline:
I would suggest a call to a supervisor at Cabelas to verify policy.

RobertH:
Unlocked? You mean behind the glass in the library? They've open it for me, granted years ago.

I bought a Maadi ak there and it failed to chamber rounds, they gave me my money back. Also, several years ago.

Next time they say company policy, ask them to show you where it says that.

Redstone:
David, I emailed them to verify the policy. It's unbelievable.

Robert, they wouldn't remove the trigger locks on firearms on the racks. For a lever action, that means no way to open it up and see down the barrel, and no way to see how the action operates. I specifically asked that, since I could not inspect a firearm, what if it didn't function, could it be returned, he said, "as is."

NE Bull:
They don't get a lot come thru, but I bought mine at Scheels.  At a good price, also, as I caught them sleeping and not knowing what they had.  It ended up being a 336 Texan, but for some reason or another, Marlin didn't roll stamp the "T" behind the model # for a year or two, so I ended up with a Texan for base model price.
