Dayton Gun on Main street was the first gun shop I was ever in, late sixties and was there with a friend as his dad bought him a new Marlin Mountie 22 and I was green with envy ! They moved from there out to Centerville and from that point on I think it went through several ownerships, not really clear on all that but think it was part of Outdoor Sports.
Might have been one of the Dayton specials in the case that day but the only Smith I remember was a new K-22 that I spied in the case but could only dream about at that point.
