When I have more money, I want to start collecting old rifles, starting with a Mosin Nagant and work my way up to getting the more expensive 03s and I've always wanted to get a Tanker Garand.

My wife was just talking to me and when she learned about the prices on the shotguns ($200-$350) she informed me that we can swing that - as long as the shotguns are , and I'm quoting her here, "truly nice and collectible". There is a "truly nice" Winchester Model 12 with a 26" barrel and an English style straight stock in 16 gauge ,"sweet" 16 they used to call it, priced for $300.00. I might be making a return trip tomorrow.
I'm not what you would call a shotgunner, but I like the Model 12. 16 gauge is a bit more than 12 gauge, but it is still made and plentiful. Plus it would make a nice addition to my collection of "old" guns.

That's great - sad to say, for the collector the introduction of new gun control laws can be a great time. I started collecting right around the time the former long gun registry came into force up here. I remember walking into SIR (now taken over by Cabelas) and finding the racks full of all sorts of great old military rifles for under $200. I just wish I'd had a real job back then! Now I basically run the used guns in the Winnipeg store we rarely get anything that interests me. Lots of Remington 770s though...
Interestingly we're just starting to feel the squeeze of the panic buying up here. When there's that much buying going on in the US, Canada is always at the bottom of the list to receive stock. Small rifle primers are already getting scarce, and I suspect it's about to get a whole lot worse.

Of course, JCordell. I know you're smart enough to also realize that when the Libs take all the EVIL and TACTICAL guns, they won't stop. They'll go after everything, even the nice old stuff (which I like too).

It is the gun I'm looking for, wood grips, blued, small sights, small slide release and safety, full sized hammer and what not. Can't decide if it's worth it or not. The gun is in good to excellent condition, and according to my Gun Trader's Guide that price is right between good to excellent.
