Oklahoma Taarr and Soup-Lie.

That's it!!

You can also just leave the 'U' completely out of Supply for a Spplie effect.

Yeeesh... I just noticed that last post put me at 6660 so I figured I'd better throw another one down quick for good luck.

Mashburn became Gunworld.

That's Oklahoma Tire (pronounced Taarr) for us oldtimers.

They used to be awesome for finding old surplus ammo too!

Worked there through high school and a couple of summers in college. Bought one of those FIE .22 revolvers as well but we had a Charter Bulldog I wanted in the worst way.
Bought a few million bb's and .22 shells there.

OTASCO was a saturday morning tradition. Dad scored free coffee and we scored bb's and 22's also. I miss that place also.

I still have the Smith pre-37 Airweight that my Dad bought from Andy Anderson's in 1954. The pink copy of the sales slip shows he paid $50 for the gun and another $5 for a box of 158 grain ball ammo. We were living in Pauls Valley at the time. He kept it in a manilla envelope in a desk drawer down at his office.

Speaking of Oklahoma Tarr & S'ply, What about Western Auto? We had both.

the counter at old paris was capt ron taylor of okcpd. i bought a s&w 629 4 inch there for 309! also bought a ruger 44 mag semi rifles for 309. prolly bought a half dozen or so when i was broke. the deals were to good to pass up. i think i lay-awayed most of them

I bought an AR15 at Masburn Arms I don't remember everything I bought at Southwest Shooters.
What about AMC I bought a few guns there. White's Auto and my favorite ammo store when I was young, Gibson's Discount Center.
We still have Shamburg's in Clinton

What about Western Auto?

Not in the town we frequented, just 6 miles south in the next town. Never spent much time in it. Dad was pretty loyal to OTASCO. One of his service buddies worked there.

What a treasure! I'm assuming you still have the box the pre-37 came in? I'm a little surprised that ammo was $5 a box. In relation to the price of the gun, that was a little expensive.

I grew up in Enid and we had 3 OTASCOs if I remember correctly. Had some great pawn shops too. When I was a kid in the 70s I almost bought a Savage O/U .22/.410 at one of the pawn shops for $60. The other store I remember was Montgomery Ward.
