Guns were once beautifully engineered works of art with deep blued steel and polished wood grained furniture. Then along came aluminum and, once they figured out how to keep parts from cracking, they sold like crazy - usually for a higher price. Then came plastic, and I just had to hang my head - retails for the same as before.

I suppose I'm just a neanderthal who misses the beauty, engineering, and ruggedness that once was.
