Guns without a soul

[UnionMillsNW]

If the purpose is to make me jealous, it's working. That is gorgeous!

Get an Uberti 1873 and you'll smile every time you open the safe.

Well... 19th century gun factories weren't artisan workshops or gunsmiths making single guns from forgings and castings to final fitting.. but hundreds to thousands of employees operating machinery and handing off batches of rifles, handguns, munitions to the next operators or step.. and tens to hundreds of fitters for final fitment before shipping by rail or ship.. late 19th century to early 20th century factories.

They can look really nice if you do it right.

Not mine; I just think it looks great.

Now, if it had a case hardened, polished blue, stainless or nickeled receiver, that bad boy right there would cross over and have the beginnings of a soul…

At the end of the day a tool is a tool. But I do believe something "crafted" from wood and metal has more of a "soul" than something mass assembled.

My AR is a great tool and has a purpose.

My 1873 is named Annie Oakley... the AR has no name.... make of that what you will.

First name that came to mind looking at it: Black Beauty.

The OG version by Volume 10 is better. Also, they're not Commies.

I'm not interested in any entertainers politics.

Never heard of Volume 10.

I knew a guy that said this sort of crap about newer cars.

My Scat Pack absolutely has a soul.
