My bad if this is inappropriate or belongs in the EE.
I'm looking for a cheap rifle to use as a project gun. By cheap I mean a .22 for less than $150. I don't care if it is a single shot or beat to hell. All that matters is that it is safe to shoot. A Winchester model 67 or something similar would be nice. Any recommendations on places to look around the metro Atlanta area? |
I have found that Outdoor Traders has shown to be a little better than Armslist.

Can't count the guns and stuff I've bought and sold on The Outdoors Trader the past few years. If something is priced well it goes quick.
I get smokin' deals on Trijicon through their LE/military Instructor program. Recently picked up a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9x42mm with box and papers for about $125 less than I can buy them for. Perfect shape, hunted with one season. Seller was a great guy, we met in person. I ended up picking up him and his Dad as training students because of the deal, so win/win for me. As long as you know the value of stuff, you can pick up good deals through the ODT and the E&E here. Caveat emptor! |

In case anybody is interested, I bought a old Stevens single shot break action shotgun to restore. Pictures coming soon. Got some nice ideas at the shot show for products to use during the restoration. Price, location, and links to ideas please. I picked it up at Adventure Outdoors for $75. Here is what got me interested in a project gun. Midway USA EDIT: They also had a bolt action shotgun I considered but didn't want to spend $150 for a project gun. |

Adventure outdoors typically has lots of scrappy guns like that. I got my single shot 12g project gun for $40 there. Lots of old dnr turn ins when I went. No telling what they have now. Single shot 22s were impossible to find. But tube feed 22s where plentiful AO was the first place I thought of. |

So Parker Bros made Shotguns before they started making board games  
Does the shotgun you bought have a nice patina or is it in good general condition? My neighbor in the mountains has his dad's 1898 Ithaca Damascus Side by Side double barrel shotgun. The weapons from back then were as much art as they were functioning firearms. The combination of the Damascus Steel barrel with patina from aging makes for a beautiful looking shotgun. He had some shells handmade so he could fire it again since he hadn't fired it since he was 12 or 13. |

I'll clean it up nicely and try to save as much of the age as I can. As for the stocks, they are going to be changed. I am going to turn the gun into a trap gun so I'll adjust the angle of the stock to make it shoot a little high, give it a nice finish and checkering, etc. |

It's funny how many people actually think that. I own a Trojan from not long before they went belly up. Remington owns the name now and will gladly sell you a $16k O/U. Quoted:
