Update
Here's a current update on the BRONCO rifles I wrote about in Post #12 on the thread.
Two of them sold at online auctions today, Saturday. One sold in Colorado to an onsite buyer for $250. The second one was an unusual brown color (?) and was being offered as an "FIE GARCIA BRONCO." Ain't no such critter. Very confusing. The auction house did not respond to my email questions as to which company was actually stamped on the gun.
Anyhoo, that one sold for only $150. I did not feel like gambling on it even at that low price since I already have one which is well marked as an original takedown style FIC BRONCO.
