Make a list of all the local shops in your area and (at minimum) twice a week call down the list for your items. I have 5 local shops that I call looking for my items. I have found almost everything I have desired using this method. Plus use things like gunbot.com they can help a lot too. The other thing is just get signed up under every site you can think of that has a "email when back in stock" option. I wish I had a better way but this is what has worked for me.
