The market is determined by the buyers. Good luck trying to find one of Darcy or Melvin's rifles at a bargain price.
Marlin levers w/ JM markings are doing OK. I'm not finding any killer deals on Kimber or Barrett rifles.A matching numbers Garand or M1 A will cost you a few bucks as will a US carbine. Used rack rifles are like used cars, some are desirable, most are just used. You can make a killing on used Norinco aks
