The collecter market is confusing to me. Some guys pay over $600. for a well used Winchester 94 carbine. Scarse? Not hardly since these have been made by the millions. Yet a slightly used commemorative model 94 with deluxe walnut and fancy engraving sells for less because it was fired a few times. Go figure.
