General consensus of repro values

[6pt-Sika]

Jim Tyrell brought a new 28 gauge 26” IC/M and a new WIN 23 Classic 28 gauge to the NSSA shoot at my club along with some other stuff for sale . This was when they first hit the market . He was asking $2400 for the Repro and $1400 for the 23 . I fingered both quite a bit that Sunday . Monday I went to the bank got cash drove to Fairfax R&G where Jim was the manager and bought the 23 . Wish I’d bought the other but that was then and this is now .
And no I don’t have the 23 it went down the road within three years of when I bought it.

Craig, the same Jim Tyrell sold me a nice DHE single trigger straight grip beavertail 26" 12 gauge for real short money. The gun had been sold by HC from Texas and represented as a skeet gun. It was made years before skeet had been invented and the barrels had been cut. I still have that sweet little "skeet gun".

If memory serves Tyrell left Fairfax in the mid 90’s and went to MT to run a club . Not to long ago I “heard” he was in Houston managing “The Greater Houston Club” . He took a little getting to know but was always a decent fellow to me . I know I bought a veritable truckload of loading components from him . Also a few guns , sold him some guns as well . AJ Beard had a LNIB Kimber 89BGR 280 REM Super Grade in Jim’s shop at Fairfax on consignment . I bought that rifle and hunted with it for about ten years and killed a huge pile of deer with it , kinda wish I had it back
