This lead ban is coming boys, maybe it won't happen next season but it's coming. And yes, I think it will hurt the market for old guns. When I was a kid in Southern Illinois a Browning A5 Magnum or a 3 inch Model 12 Winchester was like a piece of gold. Now you could hardly give one to most waterfowlers because they're afraid to shoot steel out of them.

I would expect Trojans, V, P, and G's would suffer the same fate, and of course if their value is signifcantly affected then I guess you might as well run the steel shot through them and not worry about it.
