The younger generation seems to have lost any appreciation for well made guns. Around here, lightly used Ithaca 37's are left untouched and I don't think the kids know what a model 12 is. But a plastic stocked Mossberg will sell right away. Any steel and walnut gun is overlooked. Of course they all want choke tubes and 3 inch chambers. One kid asked me if my JC Higgins pump, really a High Standard, and an over looked gun if there ever was one, with a plain barrel was a riot gun. He had never seen a plain barreled gun. Another kid had never seen a polychoke.
Don't get me started on the doubles. I was shooting a best quality Scott crystal window gun and the kid shooting on the squad told me that if I saved my money, I could buy a Benelli just like his.
