John, I don't know how many BSS Browning sold last time around. If memory serves, I believe Ithaca sold something on the order of 60,000 SKB side by sides over the approximately 10 years those two firms worked together. That's decent volume, and I don't think the sxs market is any smaller now than it was in the 60's and 70's. Tony Galazan doesn't seem to have any trouble selling RBL's for prices that probably average about that of an AyA 4/53, if you don't add too many options.


Where did you get those numbers on Ithaca/SKB production, Larry?

I doubt CSMC has sold 1000 RBL's.
