Conclusion: I for one, can't draw one.. For if just 8 of those folks that answered "Unknown" were to decide on am 1873, it would displace the 1892 as the highest ranked "next purchase"! And if, all 21 of the chose to buy an 1866 or Henri .22, it would tie the 1892. That number didn't surprise me, but some of the others did! I really expected the Henri .22 to rank higher.
Well, actually, an obvious one would be that if you were planning to begin production of a Maynard clone, don't!
Note: The second column of percentages are of the total 157 responses between the two polls. (84+73)
