Theres only really a handful of good shops for C&R's left, my fav is Gunslingers in Azusa, cant guarantee they've got a Type 99 right now though. Also Gunslinger Auctions (same company different location) always a ton of C&R's there, but they're only available for auction once every 3rd month (they don't sell anything in store).

As a side note, I'll sell you one of my Type 99's if you'd like, I've got a pretty basic one, and a really oddball/cool one with a Russian PU Scope attached to it.

Not LA County, but if you're willing to drive down a bit into Orange County, there's the Fowler Gun Room over in Tustin that carries quite a few C&R guns, saw Swedish Mausers, a Finnish M39, and sadly there was a Type 99 just missing the monopod & ladder sight aircraft wings there but I think it was long sold.

A great store in SoCal for C&Rs was Martin B. Retting's in Culver City, before they closed down a few years ago. I've had the best luck finding C&Rs through PPTs anyway: a bit of patience can net some great deals, and you avoid paying sales + 11% tax. Better yet, you can get your FFL03 license and have C&Rs shipped to your door.

Surplus is pretty much dry and I would highly recommend not over paying. Gunslingers is very good but don't forget that they get you with an auction fee, dros, and 11%. Flowers over charges for what they have and expect to pay 200-400 higher than market price. I would say call around or go into some of the pawn shops in the area for a deal or trying looking at the classifieds or calguns.

Post in the want to buy section also. Sometimes you get lucky and it comes to you.

Just don't waste your'e time going to Fowlers IMO Joe has really F'ed up that store they have always been high but know it's ridiculous.

Should add that their selection is almost nonexistent, all the gun racks that they had on the floor with used and C&R are all but gone.
