Greetings from Maine

Hey everyone. I'm a Mainer who just brought home a Model 8 today in 30 cal. It caught my eye yesterday at my LGS, and after checking around to make sure the price was right, I went back today and bought it.
It's in good shape (will post pics tomorrow), and as it turns out, my great grandfather owned one. I never knew that until I spoke to my father and he said that he remembered his granddad having one. Pretty cool how you sometimes find that there's some history to an item you buy.
Now that I've cleaned her up I'm on the hunt for ammo, but seems like the common issue with these is the lack of availability. I didn't know finding some was going to be such a challenge, and to make it worse, I don't reload.
I've scoured the internet and don't see any retailers that have any Remington30 ammo in stock, but I did find two retailers who seem to carry it. Are BuffaloArms and Ammo-one the "go-to" places for ammo?
If not, and tips on where to find some ammo would be greatly appreciated. My LGS said they don't carry it and there aren't many gun shows around me.
