However ive heard 1 day of good waterfowling could make as much as 10 days wage as your average worker so the price difference may have been negligible to a professional waterfowler ? Theres probably alot of caveats to that however and alot of variables I would think .

Though if you were waterfowling for a living and you just needed a big gun for the job a grade 1 or 0 would have been cheaper .
