Economy, Economy, Economy.

You can't have a contracting or stagnant economy for six years and not expect it to have a serious effect on disposable income. Look what happened to the gun industry world-wide during the Carter years.

At least there are some nice deals out there right now. Most people seem to be negotiating on their prices. Local auction prices for Field and Mid-Grade vintage guns are very reasonable. I'd say that right now is the "Bottom of the Market". Buy, not sell, this can't last forever.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
