The fact that you don't own or want to own a "prettied up safe queen" doesn't mean that you can't look at a gun like the one posted in this thread and appreciate the craftsmanship and skill of the men that created it. The talent and skill of the men is more admirable to me than the actual gun.
Every "Iowa Hick that loves guns" should be able to appreciate that....
Very well said, thank you for posting your most excellent reply.
I ( and I assume most people here ) like old guns because they were made manually ( a skill that isn't common today ). While I normally won't spend upwards of over $7k on a gun, I appreciate the art and skill set required to make them. I'm just a rural Kansas hick but I appreciate quality and expert craftsmanship, especially in a area I'm interested in.
