one thing I noticed when collecting. the farther up you go into the rare and unique models, the less there are....forcing collectors to rub elbows, fight for the best ones, pay more for the best ones, pass them between each other in the glass ceiling of collecting, and rarely allow them to fall into the common mans hands. the guns that do get past the security guards in place among collectors, might sell a few times un-noticed...then all of a sudden a collector sees it and buys it back into the fold. so for the most part...the real nice ones are unobtainable.
seems the lc smiths I like ....only 5 were made!
so, im thinking of aiming for a model or era more available.
advice....are the marlin lc's a good place to start?
I know a lot of the marlin lc's have simmons ribs, and that doesn't bother me, but if I can get a nice mc stocked vr marlin lc trap gun, I might bite.
inputs?
