"Engravers are not gunmakers. They are artists who embellish metal."
I think you are not quite being honest here, I consider custom gunwork artistry. Don't you?
Jim,
Never said gunwork was not artistry.
But gun engraving only is NOT gunsmithing.
To all gunmaker critics- "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.."- Teddy Roosevelt
