May I ask why the price has been reduced to 1/4 of the original price (or -$7000)? I understand lowering the price when it has been on the market for a bit, but was the original price a mistake, has something happened to the piece or is there another reason I am overlooking? I think it is a fair question to ask, how did you come to own such a piece? Not sure I'd be willing to throw $2,500 at it, but it looks like it's in impressive condition and it certainly is a piece of history.
I'm going to assume it is Range-ready?
I did indeed make a mistake when I priced it the first time. Not a typo, an honest mistake as to what it's value is. I didn't do nearly enough research. I recently brought it up to a friend of mine who still owns a gunshop, he has a much better reading on the market than I do. He reminded me that using gunbroker's current listings is not the best way to judge the true value. It's much better to search for completed auctions of items that have actually sold. To that point I came across this:

The gun is indeed range ready, nothing has happened to it, and the $7000 reduction in price was merely me accepting reality.
