Gentlemen:
The wisdom from you all is well-stated and prescient. However, regarding JB's prediction that classic doubles will suffer value depreciation due to non-tox, I must demur.
There is more than enough private land to take your Parker hunting. Also shooting preserves are on the rise. Either welcomes lead. So do a host of sporting clays courses... which is where most of my guns get the most use.
So... unless the Fed Fairies ban lead ammunition altogether, I believe the cognoscente will still see sporting value in good double guns. Here's hoping anyway.
Best, Kensal
