Reliability was always a question with them, single action bar is probably the biggest downfall. The trigger group is second, prone to breaking. Don't get me wrong there not total junk. I have a 20" police with rifle sights that I use for home defense and a deer gun. It will shoot with most rifled barrel guns out to 90yds. As for collectible: all depends on how bad someone wants it and the condition. Its not my favorite shotgun but I do have 5 of them now. Hmmmmm? maybe it is?
