First the Parkers went through the roof, so I cleaned em up oiled em and put them away. Then the Elsyies started climbing, then the Foxes, then the Ithacas. I cleaned and rigged them well and put them away each time going to the 'lower valued' gun. Now the NSs and Fox B guns are appreciating to the point where I can't bring myself to use them. (I've actually lost girlfriends because I'm so cheap) If I can't frow it in the bottom of a jon boat or power through the brambles using it for a cow catcher what good is it? Maybe the Turks got it right, put out a cheap piece of crap that will never appreciate and they'll throw it away when it dies and buy another CPofC.
