Makes me sad what the American Rifleman magazine has become in my lifetime. Every month there was a home gunsmithing tutorial with common tools, a featured firearm disassembly and assembly, practical stuff for a person on a limited budget. Now? Plug and play, out of the box, turn key, ready to go, plastic and stainless. I'll be a croaker in a few years, but it would be interesting to see what a polymer gun looks like, or a carbon fiber barrel, when they are 150 years old like some of my still functional and accurate rifles from the 1860's.
