[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 4353088, member: 6777"] D&B was located at 18th and Boston downtown. In the seventies there were very few gunsmiths advertising in the phonebook several part timers operating out of their houses. In 1975 there was basically D&B 18th & Boston The Gun shop (next to Thrashers carburetors on Admiral) 21st st. Gun shop (across from sears) Tulsa firearms (11th & Sheridan) Sportsworld (newly opened at 58th&Lewis) There was a pawnshop about 3rd and Cincinnati/Detroit that did smithing I opened my place in 1980 and this was still basically all. Then Spartan school of Aeronautics opened a gunsmith school and dumped 100 or so gunsmith students into the Tulsa area. Steve Vanaidis (the Greek) first burst onto the scene Big at 21st and Sheridan @ Howard Gibbles "Gibbles Great Outdoors" then, opened at 11th & Harvard, then Admiral and Harvard Joe Mac Cool graduated from Spartan. Joe first opened at Tulsa reloading/ Tulsa shooters supply on 31st then moved to current location on southside of 31st. Nowlin was from Claremore and was unknown till late 80's [/QUOTE]
