My thinking is for your five hundred bucks or whatever you have a choice of a new gun made elsewhere or a nice Flues in the five hundred range or a LC Smith in the eight hundred range or a small bore Nitro Special. The new gun will have choke tubes probably and maybe better stock numbers for fit. The older guns may go up in value and the new one go down but maybe not.One need only look at the damm Japan made graded 101's that sold for four hundred and now go over a grand and some two.The real cheap Ithica SKBs sure ain't cheap no more so whos to say. As long as the parts are about the same from year to year the Turkey guns might just be OK. The real nightmare is the newer Daly guns of the past thirty years where everythink changes about every year.
