Rough Riders are about the cheapest plinkers available. I have a RR and a Barkeep. cool little guns that didn't break the bank. If these rifles work, they'll be a hit.
There's a big difference between true case hardening (expensive) and color case hardening (imitation). It's like knives that are true forged Damascus and the $20 looks like Damascus knife. These are in no way true case hardened. That would add hundreds to the cost. I really don't care if they look tarnished.
These are going to be worth what you pay for them, maybe a little less.
