The current Hendershot's really makes me miss the Original Hendershot's in Hancock .

Take a ride down to Greentop just outside of Richmond some Saturday. They have loads of new and used "regular" rifles that you can handle and buy.

I spent a fair amount of time and money in the old Hendershot’s

It was like an annual pilgrimage to leave there and eat at park and dine during our pre-season scouting trips (when deer season was 1 week).

I miss the old location, but it's still a regular stop for me. Bought most of my powder and way too many rifles and shotguns there.

They have way more than what is listed on the website.

Reluctantly, I’ll add another suggestion.

The Gun Center in Frederick

If the “owner” is there, you might as well walk back out the door since he’s more likely to ridicule you than answer questions. They do, however, have a fair assortment of guns.

I wouldn't touch that place with a 10 foot pole after seeing their prices and how I was treated, when I was seeing what was available.

TGC has a long and horrid history on MDS of a lot of negative and only about 4 positive.

OP, the prices in there, last I checked were beyond outrageously high for what it was. The last time I was in there, they charged a guy $1800 for a NIB RRA LAR-8 midlength A4. That thing is MSRP at $1300, when this occurred.

I have been out of gun buying for 20 years or so.
Used to love browsing and buying used rifles - .22s, Minis, etc
Getting back into shooting and small game hunting lately.
It seems most gun shops are wall to wall "tacticool" rifles, with just a few basic guns in the corner.
What shops still carry a lot of used plain old wood stocked rifles?

If you're up in Hagerstown, stop into Hendershots. Lots of lovely wood-centric long guns. They're in a whole separate room from the tacticool and handgun area. They tend to skew towards the finer long guns, but if you're in the area, take a look, as they have some beauties.

Do they have a good selection of shotguns? The website suggests they are very rifle centric.

Haven't really prowled their long guns for a while. There are always quite a few shotguns, but with so many huge variables in style, budget, etc., can't be sure it's going to make the trip for you. Call! They're very friendly.

Scotts Gunsmithing always has anywhere from a few to quite a few used guns including consignments. We are an IP on this forum (the 'we' reference because, in full disclosure, I work there). I bought used firearms including c&r guns long before I worked there.

Duffy’s has a large wall of “wood stocked” guns as well as older stuff they buy from estate sales to go with their wide range of “tacticool” stuff.

They normally have a few WW2 MGs which I like to breath against the glass at and drool at too!

Zeke at Delmarva Sporting Clays has quite the selection of non-tacticool rifles. Take a couple of firearms with you and make a day of shooting and shopping. Hit a couple of other eastern shore shops on the way there or back.

There's also Brownstone Trading in Westminster. His back room usually has quite a few old ones.

Worth the visit

It's been a few years, but when I lived in AA county Scotty was my "goto" for buying and selling, and he has cut many a barrel for me.

If you’re willing to make the drive to Hensershots, for my money, I’d drive a little bit further and go see Tim Hafer.

Great selection of both used and new, friendly and knowledgeable staff and his bulldog is very friendly. The new store is easy to get to, parking is plentiful and I never feel over charged (can’t say the same for hendershots)

Agree with this 100 percent, plus Tim is one of the most upstanding dealers and IPs I have ever dealt with. Great selection and NOT all tacticool. You won't regret the drive out.... Go on a nice day and enjoy being "closer" to freedom. Well at least geographically......

Forgot to mention - if you like BBQ, stop by smokin toad in downtown Williamsport. It makes a great trip even better!

Hedershots, Hafer's and Gun Shack in Mt Airy are all regular stops for me looking for used guns, have found a lot of nice ones at all 3 shops and all can have a bargain.
