Well yes it is pretty nice. I guess some people have the available funds and if they want it price is no object. The production run on the T99s was about 3.5 million. At gun shows and gun shops they are very common. I guess I should be happy I bought mine when I did. It just irks me that gun collecting in general will never be the same and my future aquisition of arms will be limited. Iknow, I know --supply and demand. Salt Flat
