Wow that's as eclectic as high-end fly rods being made in Telluride, CO.

Now there’s irony for you, Craig. I think you meant one to(o) many, but your comment is a gem.

I’d much rather miss with a cheap shell, if I can find one…two, er, too.

Morris isn't selling these shells. Some scalper is selling them. I have no way of knowing whether the shells being hawked, or scalped, are old shells or recent shells in old boxes, packed by Morris. I have bought shells in the blue, black, and white boxes, from RST recently, and they are new shells in old boxes. We don't know what is being advertised on Gunbroker.

seems about right. I wasn't making any presumptions just curious if anyone had seen that box styling before as I had not.

As I mentioned I've gotten lucky on RST shells before on GB for 12 -14 dollars a box so I at least humor the search every time i'm on there. Usually they are from a pawn shop seller......how they got them is anyone's guess and I could really care less.

I emailed them and asked if the price was incorrect etc and they quickly replied that yes I was correct . They also sad they sold the shells in their storefront and wanted to keep the action open for later use , hence the reason the 16’s were priced at $10 a shell . Garry as to miss’s I’d like to think I got all the miss’s oughtta my system 20-30 years ago but it just doesn’t seem to work that way

What's not to like about a Virginian with a sense of humor!
