While we all agree these are finely made guns & worth every penny, it has been my experience that the BAR is a somewhat slow seller in today's market. Since you inherited it & don't have x-amount invested in it, you may need to discount it to make it move, IMO. Might I suggest you hang onto it & not sell it????
