bsa,
Oh I'm not disagreeing with battue, I like the older models better too. Seems like manufacturers are chasing the price point on the lower end of their line and there goes fit and finish. Faster it goes from CNC to out the door the better. Had a chance to work on an old model 12 some time ago, something minor for someone, don't remember what. Now that was just plain fun given that it was designed for hand fitting and made with quality.
