Through forbearance maybe.....if that was the situation they were in, in the frist place. The name i would figure may be in the possible $100m range?

I sure hope the people at Winchester can spell better then some of you guys......!! Of course I can see now why some people used their 30-30's as "jack Handles"..... , that's possibly what it says on some 30-30 winchesters.

Only one thing to say to that

Well shucks (do people even say that anymore ?? ) Its out of my league.

I wonder though if Winchester goes down does that mean there guns will go up in value by stores that wanna make a few extra bucks ??

I'd say so.....as soon as that plant shut the doors + $$$$!

Word is that the distributors are seeing a run on Winchester 94's 70's and 1300's by the gun show dealers. Some distributors are already out of stock.

This weekend should tell the story if any of you are going to a gun show. Report back and let us know about any price increases.

Some gunshops are pulling the Winchesters off the shelf and holding them back to see what happens with prices.

Hmmmmm....... I don't have a winch ester in the place...... I guess that makes my collection worth more already...... !

Last year, the dealers couldn't sell them and now they can't get enough to sell. It sure would be a kick if Winchester turned around and said they changed their mind. Best sales figures they ever had.

Bushy and 10ring, I am mistaken. I do so have a Winchester. I forgot that I have a Win Model 2200 12ga shotgun..............!! I haven't used it in so long I forgot it was there. I came across it today, I better keep looking to see what else I have that I didn't know I had!!!

You don't want that do you??? ......I will gladly do you the favor and let you ship it to my FFL.... and even pay the shipping for me to take it off your Marlin hands Wouldn't want you poisoning you fine collection with that.

I do not know if this is true but I read that a Hunting and Fishing store here in So. Cal bought out all remaining stock of the 94's. The store is Turners Outdoorsman. I only saw this one time and that seems that it would be a little expensive. Has anyone else heard anything like this?

Well I would but I haven't used it in a long time and I'm not sure if it still goes bang, (even though it looks like new) so instead of wasting your money shipping it to you, I'll put it back where I found it. Besides I don't think they made many model 2200's, did they........?

My money ......I thought i was being nice taking it off your hands since it would taint all that is good (your Marlin collection ) . But since you want me to pay shipping, yeah, you can put it back where you found it.......on top of everything else laying on a velvet pillow
