I understand dealers can't get them now and they are making them this month. That seems like a good time for a price increase. I hope not because I want one. What do you think? Do mfgrs usually/often/sometimes raise prices at a time like this?
Failure to predict its success? That's my hunch.I just wonder why they don't make more of the 1894C's to begin with.
On the other hand, people are paying nearly the same money for Brazilian Rossi knockoffs of old Winchesters with wood that can't cost more than 50 cents a stock (raw wood, I mean).
One of my reasons for being interested is that I can shoot it at a range down the street from my house that allows only "pistol calibers". Shooting a rifle caliber is less convenient and more expensive, for me.
