I agree that the market has changed dramatically.However,what I am seeing in my appraisal business is that really mint collector class guns are bringing more than ever. What has changed is the mid level condition guns that people used to buy to hunt with has gone.Those were the guns that held the market up.Mr.Dallas is correct that young shooters now shoot over unders or semi autos.The double gun market is turning into a pure collector market.This is not only true for doubles,but all "claasic" guns.Winchesters,Colts,etc. are all seeing the same change.
