Some great words for Real Men
“Then out spake brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his gods”
― Thomas Babington Macaulay, Lays of Ancient Rome
While it is not one of The Old Winchesters of ancient to some folks time. When Winchester use to be THE symbol of a high end firearm. It sure beats the new and vastly ugly scatterguns out there in the looks department. Like this sad looking puppy below. Grumpy
Sorry guys but I still say that Blued or case hardened steel, brass, aluminum and some good looking hard wood like Walnut or Birch etc. Is the way to make a classy looking gun. Yeah I know that usually this is not always economically the world looks. But it still does not change the facts as I see them!
This what happens when you get somebody that really knows their way around a Machine Shop. Who is also given some really great material to work on and then has the time to do it right. When the rare event happens this is the end result. Grumpy
