Top condition guns have and will always bring top prices----any guns. Factor in the market's hunger for Triple Locks, and any wonderment about this price seems misplaced---to me.

When I see a gun like this, my first thought is, "WOW--- I wonder how long it will be (IF EVER!!!) before I see another one like this?!!" My second thought is, "It might be a good idea to snap this sucker up. If/when I find an original this good, I can dump this and get that. In the meantime---I'm a happy camper."

And guess what?!! If/when this gun's new owner finds an original this good. and dumps this one, he's going to get more than he paid for it. Now, are all those who want a nice looking TL going to be standing in line for this one? Nope---but it only takes one---and there are A LOT more than one out there.

So it is written by me---just one.
