Alan,

I wasn't "pissing on their camp fire", just being a bit realistic.
I am more than hapy to help people find guns and get into big bores.

Go ahead, prove me wrong - I would be glad to admit I was wrong
but I just don't see YOUNG people buying a very ONE dimensional gun.

Even at Wholesale prices (which I know as I buy from some of the biggest distributors in the US),
it doesn't change things that much - so take $200 off per gun, good luck.

I just checked with 2 firearms dealers that I supply. The answer was:-
1. Mossberg's and Marlin's 12G bolt action shotguns with fully rifled barrels
have been available here in the past and may still be.
2. They both sold "a couple" but demand isn't high and at least one of the
importers and possibly both have dropped them from the stock list
3. The ones they sold were sold for about A$590 Retail Inc GST.

Good luck.
