LD - Like I said I always wanted one for its historical value. Mine shoots well, and is fairly accurate, but I didn't like it well enough to shoot it over the past 20 years. You should get one before the prices are really too high. Around here, sometimes you can find one for $450.00, but it isn't much. To get a good one, they start around $600.00 and I have seen a pristine Rockola go for $1950.00, last fall. It was sold by its' original civilian owner (87 years old) who purchased it from the DCM the first day they were available, way back when.
