"Well is the new Model 21 produced by Galazan really better? It's not hand made. Is the steel used up to the standard of Winchester Proof Steel? How would one know; do they put these guns through rigorous proof and violent proof testing like Winchester did? Also, what about the future in terms of collector values? Are all these fake Winchester Model 21's going to depreciate the values of the real ones? Are the Galazan Model 21's going to hold their value and be collector items? I guess only time will tell. "

The above questions have been hashed out many times over the last decade. One makes one's own decision with your wallet. -Dick
