Has anyone here been in the market for a particular style of firearm, and opted to buy a "old" "relic" or "antique" "obsolete" firearm (for whatever reason) over a new model?
ex: Right now I am looking to buy a pump shotgun for trap/bird hunting. I am a college student so I am looking for something under $300. I chose to pass on the Mossbergs, Remingtons, Pardoners, and Mavericks. Instead I bought a early 1900's Stevens 520 humpback pump. I realize all the benefits that a new firearm has, but instead I chose to purchase a firearm with some extreme miles on it. It just seemed way to interesting to pass up.
