Don't think any oxen are getting gored. Some of these gentlemen are like me, OLD, and I like old guns. I think as long as the Italians are in business there will be no shortage of new reproductions. I have 3 sons and 2 grandsons who have been around and had access to guns all their life, but none of them have the same desire for the old ones as me. I am not going to lose any sleep fretting about the old ones drying up in my lifetime. When I'm gone someone will be owning the ones I have. Can't take them with you, so they will be available to some future, OLD,gun crank.
