Perception, perception, perception.
Miller, many myths become a reality in that the perception causes other actions. In dealing with the Feds, I see it all the time. If they have a perception or believe the public has a certain perception, they act on it, real or not. I suppose this type (Hunter & LC sidelocks, Fox, etc.) of lockup has a similar result in that there's a percieved value in itresulting in a following and possibly better sales/higher value.
I suppose chopperlump type barrels have such a perception also. Other types have proven their value, yet there seems to by some following of chopperlump types and possibly value in it on newly mfr'd guns.
