I don't suggest that MAC-1 steroid guns will be collectable in the future, instead, I think it's a clear fact. What makes me say this is that one of the driving forces in vintage American airguns has always been how well the gun shoots. A great example of this is the Crosman model 160: by far, the most valuable model of the 3 main types is that last one, for the simple reason it has a much improved trigger.

When it comes to shooting, the Crosman/Sheridan guns with MAC-1 mods outshine anything else when it comes down to the basics of shooting. These will be even more desirable in the future. Heaven forbid, but if MAC-1 ever closes shop...... buy up every Steroid you can get your hands on.

I don't think future collectors will have too much trouble picking out the wheat from the chaff.
