A Belated and Sincere Thanks to Tom Armstrong

[Edward Tinker]

Hello, I moved the topic, as suggested by Jimbo.

I am a collector, but probably not as good as one as others. I feel that a toggle pin missing its number does not make the gun into a shooter...

I will probably buy guns over the next 20 years and have trouble selling them because of this imposed handicap, but really believe that extremes cause more problems than they are worth. (I don't doubt Jimbo's feeling on this and understand his feeling of spending money on a "collector" perceived shooter... His comment of 5% makes perfect sense to me, yes many will disagree with me.

But if you used a "scale" of say;

toggle train 75% off of a collector piece
barrel not arsenal refurbished 75% off

firing pins, toggle pins, and the like 5 or 10%?

I doubt the "hobby" will ever really accept this thinking, but it is something that makes sense, to me?
