Did anyone mention Cinderella City yet? I became good friends with the owners of the Gun Room (Bill &Lola) and Ikey Starks next door at Sports West when I moved here in 1984. Wish I still had my Ikey built Colt Commander sigh.

Bill made me a few good deal or three on S&Ws.

I have a bunch of tooling from Ikey’s estate sale.

We have talked about old gun stores in various threads. I remember buying from Deans, Old West Arms and Foothills. Foothills used to have water cooled machine guns set up in the main room. This is all pre 86 timeframe. Unbelievably cool guns on display and for shooting there. We bought an IMI UZI model A, an M1928 Thompson and others then.
