Didn't expect it to.
Couldn't care less if you buy one or not.
Just trying to put these guns in perspective.
Better quality than the H&R.
Prices reflect that.
Not intended to be a "kid" gun, not strictly intended to be an "entry level" gun.
Actual parts & service, if needed.
Can't say that about a hundred-dollar foreign version that some seem to compare the Henrys to when discussing single-shot shotguns.
And some people happen to like steel & walnut single-shot rifles.
If there's enough people who do look beyond the price, the guns will sell.
If not, the guns will disappear.
These are not built to sell on cheap pricing as the primary determinant.
