I imagine it's what everyone has been noting for the last few years Perry, except for our little circle, very little interest in double guns.
I can't agree with the observation above.
If there was actually very little interest in double guns, and that remaining interest was concentrated in "our little circle", then demand and overall sales would be near zero.
There would be a good number of unsold doubles after auctions closed... and prices would be dropping like a rock.
The greatest negative effect on double gun supply and demand has been due to the large scale dumping of guns by gun owners in countries that have imposed draconian anti-gun laws and ammo bans. But hey, all you Fudd's out there just keep on voting Democrat. Maybe you'll finally connect the dots after it's too late to matter.
In addition, the all time record for visitors to this double gun website would not have happened in April of 2024.
There is still interest in these old guns. That interest can be maintained and cultivated, and new enthusiasts can be drawn in. On the other hand, doom, gloom, and negatively can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy. And voting the wrong way has been proven to lead to greater costs, more regulation, and eventual attrition.
