I have to ask WHY? on this piece. A cool piece of history yes, but $600 for a fire and forget weapon that would have a Saturday night special looking down its nose? Here, I lose the the plot. Lots of cool guns on offer though. Maybe next year.....
FQ13

What I've heard, about the originals, is that very few were actually ever "dropped" or used.  The rest were destroyed.  Because they were truly cheap POS, nobody thought to preserve any of them or take care of them.  A few years ago people started to realize they were actually rather scarce, especially ones complete in good condition are scarce.  

When I checked about 10 years ago they were only valued at $200-300.   Now they're 10 times that.  So it's not surprising that replicas can command $600

I got picked out of the masses by Remington for a chance to win a new shotgun but haven't received a call yet so I guess my bad luck still holds!  LOL
