Thanks for all of the input. My goal is not to make money but to enjoy these great shotguns, shoot them some and to leave them in my estate having retained their value. We all know that the declining dollar will in ten or twenty years $3000 put in the bank today will probably retain enough value to buy new Remington 870!
Better to have a great shotgun today and to have it retain all or most all of its value as the dollar sinks!
I am interested in guns from the Birmingham makers and will shop hard for them!
