They are hiding in obscure, off-the-beaten-path shops that you'd never think to visit until one day you happen to stop and score one there... and then you know.

And the trick isn't just to find any old 3rd Gen. The trick is to find a 3rd Gen in top condition, with box and extra mag(s) if possible, for a decent (or better) price!

Of course, there are other places and ways to find them. But if you are talking about local shops only, it takes a lot of time, patience, gasoline... and a whole lot of luck!
