Amen. They will sell them though, just like they sold zillions of the other 'collectable' 94s etc. And wow, haven't they held thier value :rolleyes:

Greywood will divide them amongst their regional reps, if your smart, and if you're thinking of buying one of these I would call that into question :p , you might consider the Maritimes as a place to put in your order. The rep out here rarely sold the alotment he was entitled to...just a hint.
 
A man who would buy a perfectly good rifle just to hang it on the wall unfired would probably marry a beautiful girl and (OOPS, better not go there, that might be construed as a ###ist remark).

I went to the source (Browning-Winchester).

They verified the following:
- Manufacture will be in Miroku, Japan
- 4,000 high grade guns will be manufactured
- 1,000 custom grade guns will be manufactured

The customer service person I talked to mentioned that they just heard about it in a meeting last week...

I still question the price, but I am relieved to see I was wrong about the source. It simply surprised me that Winchester was getting back into the 1892 business... and the commemorative business...

Winchester Offers Collectible John Wayne Ammunition Cartridges

Howard Communications
12/11/2006
Whether you’re a fan of classic Westerns, John Wayne, Winchester Ammunition or, just a cowboy at heart, the finest set of collectible ammunition ever produced is available to you in 2007.

The legendary John Wayne, Winchester Ammunition, and the classic Wild West have come together in a limited edition collector’s set of ammunition offered in three classic cartridges—44-40 Winchester®, 45 Colt, and 30-30 Winchester—to commemorate 100 years of “The Duke®”. The cartridges are designed with customized head stamps and will come in specially designed embossed packaging.

Born in 1907, John Wayne created his legacy by starring in more than 170 films and earning an Academy Award in the classic Western, True Grit. Wayne was a model of individualism and courage who pursued his life with enthusiasm and generosity.

Along with the impressive career that made John Wayne a popular figure in American culture, a commitment to support the fight against cancer is an ongoing part of the John Wayne legacy. Winchester is making a donation to the John Wayne Cancer Foundation in support of the fight against cancer (www.jwcf.org).

Go out today, and try to buy one, just try. :rolleyes:
Leverguns are getting scarce.

Also consider how much Enfields are going for these days...and there has been allot more of them made.
 
Aw,
Thanks for the info. I've been so busy with Real Estate and Christmas I havent had a chance to look around.
I ordered a case of each ammo along with the two rifles.
I hop it doesnt turn out to be a mistake.

Blasphemy...........WHEN you go to hell for that remark, I hope the Devil hands you a Remington 710 in .308 and makes you shoot it for all eternity;)

I'm sorry, I take that back...it was a little harsh. You will for sure go to hell, but that 710 remark I made was totally out of line...no one deserves that:p

Wow.......FUGLY

I dont' knwo why they continue to take otherwise reasonably nice looking rifles, and stick that gawdy gold inlay crap in them and make them look like some POS form the Franklin Mint, that you woudl buy on the late night infomercial shopping channel...

:puke:

I own exactly zero commemoratives myself. Not because I wouldn't want one, but because I'd shoot it!
I can't convince myself that there is any way that a rifle of any description could sit unfired in my house.

And there would be nothing wrong with that. The commemorative market for Winchesters fell out a long time ago, and in the last 5 years I have seen many comms come in to stores and online, and get resold not to other collectors, but shooters. I myself bought my first commemorative, a Legendary Lawman, specifically for deer hunting. And trust me, I still baby it to avoid rough use out in the bush, but its a good deer gun, not a wall hanger.

Me too. My plan is to have my heirs saying, "You know, these guns would be worth a LOT more if he hadn't used them so much....":dancingbanana:
 
I imagine there are people out there who buy the commemorative guns with the idea that in 25 years they are going to be able to finance their retirement by selling them. Good luck to them. I would rather have a Lee-Enfield or a Ross with a history behind it, rather than a reproduction, and I wouldn't feel a bit guilty about shooting it.
