Trap Guns

Can anyone tell me the name of the gun store in Ohio that sells a lot of trap guns? I think it is located aroud Vandalia, where the big shoot is held each year. I lost my link to it when my computer melted down. Thanks Alan:assult:

Your probably thinking of "Jaqua's fine guns". They have a building on venders row but it's only open during major shoots. The real store is in Findlay, OH 900 E. Bigelow ave. 45840.
Phone # 419-422-0912. Website www.jaquas.com
What you see at Vandalia is only 20-25% of their inventory, I get a quarterly list from them of what they have on hand. The current list is 22 legal sheets long single spaced. I wanted a Brng repro of the Win mod 42 made back in '91. Browning only made 6000 of them and when I went to Jaqua's to buy one they had 900 of them sitting on the floor to pick from(60% had sold tags on them). At any time they have an inventory of $30-$40 million on hand, the gun room is a giant vault, the door is a foot thick.

Yup, still haven't been there, only live about 45 minutes away from it. I'm off work this whole week, maybe they'll find me there drooling on the gun counter!
