Default RE: The Win 70 Is Back

Take a used car, give it a paint job and try to sell it for 3 times what it is worth. That is what this company is trying to do.

Winchester is NOT back in buisness, what has happened is that another company has bought the patent and is going to manufacture the Model 70 Type rifle.

A 1955 Chevrolet cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $3000 new.

I could buy the patent for the dies and the design and manufacture a brand new 1955 Chevrolet. But with a price tag of $150,000 - I do not think that there would be many people that would be willing to shell out that kind of money to buy one.

I would not be called Chevrolet, I would not be allowed to call myself Chevrolet. But I could manufacture their style of automobile. I could buy the name Chevrolet, but I still wouldn't be the origional Chevrolet.

Invest you money in worthwhile ventures and not fly by night companies.
