Just like it took 15 +- years for the Lending Disaster birds to come home to roost, I am pretty certain the current Bailout extravaganza will take some years also, and when the cumulative effect is known, we will be looking at a completely different country.

As for the future of doubles, as I've mulled over in the past, I keep wondering if some company might be able to concoct an affordable, probably CNC stem-to-stern gun that calls for minimal hand fitting and comes complete with an easily adjustable barrel regulating device to allow zeroing with various ammo. Doubles are fairly legislation-proof, and in coming years this feature may be enough to drive a refreshed double-making industry???
