[QUOTE="pdpratt41, post: 2219704, member: 30398"] Hi everyone. Im new here and this is my first post. I'm not much of an expert on guns or buying them yet so I'm going to post this here. I'm hoping to get a nice 1903 Springfield soon and was wondering if anyone here had any advice on how to go about that here in Oklahoma. Should I stick to the internet or is there somewhere that has some occasionally? Or should I wait until the big gun show in Tulsa in November for the best shot? Im from Norman if that helps with my questions at all. I'm looking to balance quality and price of course. I'd love to be able to get a "correct" rifle (whether original or an original WWII rebuild) rather than a hodgepodge of parts. And I'd like for it to be fairly well taken care of and in shooting condition. Preferably no rust or pitting to have to deal with nor a completely decimated stock. I'm slightly picky as you can tell but also trying to work on a budget of no more than $1000 if possible. I know the more I spend on it the nicer I could get but I'd like to find an appropriate balance on it. Any help or insight into my search for one of my dream guns would be much appreciated. I've got the ache for one now like I had for a Garand a couple years ago. I'm going to attempt to remain patient in my search until I find a beauty that I can shoot and take care of at a price I can still afford. I hope the question is appropriate for this forum and topic and hope the newbie question doesn't bother anyone. Look forward to getting to know everyone and interact in the years to come I hope! Thanks guys! Dillon [/QUOTE]
