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.

This is an excellent suggestion and I’m mad i didn’t think of it
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 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?
Slack
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.
There's also Brownstone Trading in Westminster. His back room usually has quite a few old ones.
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.

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......
