Like anything else in the bolt action and lever action will depend on the gunrags for generating sales. When the gunrags were writing up story after story about the 45/70 Guide Guns and Cowboy Shooting, Marlins took a big jump in popularity. All the Cowboy guns stayed with their shooters. Most of the GG's started to end up as used guns on dealer's shelves since most of the youngsters just couldn't handle the very fast recoil of the 45/70 with high performance loads.

It'll be the same for the Whizbang Short Mags, once everybody tires of them, you'll see a whole bunch of used ones on dealer's shelves. Everytime a couple of PAID writers write up something, sales seem to increase. Way it is.
