Stopped by the GM n the Fort today, just to price some ammo and to fondle some lever action rifles. Found a lever action Browning .22 with plastic woodgrain stock for $600. I just shook my head and put it back on the rack.
Saw an Uberti Cattleman in .357 with the 4.625 barrel in the used weapon display case. They wanted $499. I bought mine brand new on Gunbroker for $250 plus $25 S&H and $25FFL.
Saw another man purchasing a S&W Bodyguard. Did not hear the price, but I had to force myself to walk away. I wanted to warn the guy, but decided MYOB was the best course.
What would you have done?
That Browning doesn't have a plastic wood grain stock, it is walnut, but it does have some kind of hard coat finish over he wood. The BL-22 is one very nice lever action gun. TI is far nicer than the new Remlin Marlins 39A's that are being pumped out. And it is a better gun than the Henry, especially in the realms of workmanship and accuracy. As for the price, GM is always high....if you think their NEW gun prices are bad, look at their USED prices.
