Anybody collect trainers?

[nhetzer]

Yes I did, and no they don't. I spoke with an acquaintance of mine who is a big historical collector on a pretty advanced level and deals in historical arms. He said that though most collectors will view it not being "as collectible", the barrel has most likely been with that gun since it came into government service. He said that when you are talking about an older gun, condition will tell you a lot. And when the barrel and the receiver match as perfectly as they do and are both about the same age, then it's a pretty safe bet that they have been together the same amount of time. That all sounds very plausible and pairs well with what I was told about the gun from the seller. I'm terrible about posting pics but I will make an effort to get some up for you all to see and you can judge for yourself so you can form a better opinion.
