Someone got one heck of a deal

[SXS OHIO]

This was a fair deal. The sold price is pre inflation dollars for a single trigger repro 26" with common IC/M. While the wood looks good, I'm not a fan as it has the look of sap wood in a way, not my favorite. I think the price reflex's the slow economy for sure and that is gunna get worse next year. We will see a stronger market as we head into fall hunting, but cash is still tight, and sales will continue to be off. I am a full time FFL# dealing in mostly new hunting guns and the new sporting gun market is sluggish. Oh...Just a heads up....powder is in short supply and has been for a while. The ammo makers are running short of powder, demand is up for the war effort. We have trade warnings in place as I type. Telling of canceled ammo orders for the wholesalers. So, get any live ammo you need now as the demand and lack of availability is certain to drive up the cost, all due to the shortages and panic buying. The same thing they are saying about oil and gas prices to come. SXS Ohio

The wood is a major negative for me. Claro just does not belong on a double. But yes, the price on the gun was less than expected.

Brian,
What is it about claro that makes it unsuitable for a double gun?

That's a good question. All that have guns stocked in Claro or are considering restocking a gun with Claro would like to hear Brian's reasoning for making his statement that "Claro just doesn't belong on a double."

It just does not have the right look, for one. Not traditional at all. And it is rather soft. Does not hold checkering as well.
