For those that were offended by George's inquiry... What is the "proper" length of time needed to pass before the "vulture" comments would not be necessary?
I am sure that someone as well versed and knowledgable about double guns as Mr. McIntosh would have a plan in place to properly dispose of his guns upon his untimely death. In other words, I doubt his widow/family would be taken advantage of by some unscrupulous "dealer". He wasn't exactly John Doe that sets up a table loaded with mossberg 500's at the local gunshow. This was a true expert in our field and I doubt that the family would be offended at people who would love to own/cherish a piece of Mr. McIntosh's legacy. Provenance and history add to the value of each gun and most of us here would love to have a shot at owning a piece associated with someone of Mr. McIntosh's stature.
I wasn't offended. Of course, I'm not family, friend or associate - nor can I afford his good stuff anyway.
