I would like some places to contact for a shootable old Reminton Rolling Block or a 1895 Winchester. Does not have to be in great shape, but shootable. Prefer 50-70, 50-90, 45-70 or 45-90. However, I would also be interested in a .43 Spanish, Egyptian or Turkish, which I assume would be more reasonably priced. My max price range would be $400 to $500. Any recommendations of places to start looking?

Take a look at www.antiqueguns.com They have old Rolling Blocks on their site quite often. I bought an old1867  .50-70 RB there early this year, for $450, and it's in great shape.
Ballard, the great American Rifles!

You can also try Guns America, which is a classified listing page, instead of an auction site.  The URL is http://gunsamerica.com/ , and they have several rolling blocks listed in oe near your price range in various calibers.
