I think the future money is in quality small bore guns.

I firmly believe I have bought my last 12 gauge. The only shotgun I have for sale is a 12.

My hunting buddy is 30 and loves collector shotguns. He says he will buy everything he can afford, put them in a gun room he will construct, and smoke cigars while ruminating about the days take. He is trying to marry my daughter. Stay tuned

I went to two big decoy auctions in New England last week. Prices were STRong!!!. The Copley sale was near 5million with an average lot price of $27,000. dollars! Auctions now make the market in high end collectibles. Most of the bidders were on the phone or internet. Decoy shows and gun shows are dead in my opinion.

I agree they are about dead, and I really really miss them.

Went to National Gun Show (Chantilly, VA) this weekend and there were only 4-5 tables throughout that featured vintage shotguns, including Parker, Elsie, Lefever, Browning O/U and A5's. It's billed as the nationals largest regional gun show. Every table seemed filled with defensive type guns, hand guns of any/all make, AR rifles and .223 ammo. Show was crowded. Full of tatoo's, midriffs and Dailey Duke's. Not exactly a Parker crowd. Picked up some good deals on shotgun ammo.

You forgot to mention the amazing selection of body armor, MREs, designer purses, knives & tomahawks, martial arts geegaws (think throwing stars & nunchucks), and bra holsters for concealed carry. Also (almost forgot) the dangerous-looking middle Easterner selling the wonderful selection of fudge.

You sure it was fudge... and not C4?
