Gruen Master

SPECULATION ALERT

I think you're right about market considerations playing into this somehow. But in that case, why build a 325 caliber at all? Where does it fit? Did they quit production of the 123 for market reasons, only to find that there was still a market - and then they used up dead stock while scrambling to get the Guild 325 tooled up?

It seems to me that the 325 continues the numbering pattern, but in that case, why not number it 125? Does the "3" numbering relate to the Guild somehow? I don't know of any caliber 125.

END ALERT
