IMO, an extra hole automatically relegates the gun to 'shooter' status and devalues it by at least 50%....
Jack probably understands the collector market pretty darn well. I think the concept of a single 6-48 hole devaluing a rifle by 50% is a bit nutty, but the rare air of the high end collector market may seem a bit illogical to many. The market is what it is.
I need someone to point me toward some Pre '64's that feed like melted butter, drive tacks, and have been D&T for side mounts that I can buy for low LOW $!
