Am I the only one

I sure love the contrast of opinions expressed here in this forum. For me, I look for quality in guns new or used and newly imagined. Looking at these new levers being produced now verses the old levers back then, gives me a big WOW factor!!! I have to give the manufactures of these firearms a big thumbs up for creative uniqueness and feel of these newly imagined custom guns. I for one like some of these changes that are being made in the firearm industry and some of those changes are in its simplest form. More metal is good, Hate the Plastics, love the wood. Balance of all three or cut the plastic all together. Weight is the result of producing a quality firearm. The finish by hand and fitting by hand makes the feel of a quality firearm in hand.
Well if you go have a look at all the best spoke shotguns made in Europe on the best cnc machine available today, you will find out that the last part of finishing and fit will all be made by hand, we are not talking Remington and Winchester here not even beretta… we are talking $10k and up guns with perfect fit and finish. You can argue as much as you want but it doesn’t change reality!
I agree with everything that you list but I have a question for Harley drivers...... why do they find it necessary to crank on the throttle when they see you on the sidewalk? You can be in the middle of a block yet ...... blaaaaaat noise for nothing other than?????
I have a couple of theories, one revolves around lack of attention as a child and the other is compensating for being poorly endowed.
There are probably more theories out there but it is a start.
I actually really like the no cross bolt safety approach here. I’d prefer a more snag-free stock, maybe a laminate.
For the same reason truckers hit the Jakes near an audience, even when not going down hill

An argument could be made he’s pointing a loaded rifle at himself. Looks good in the movies, but not really a great practise.
I’ve done this with unloaded slicked up 92’s, but I’ll pass on doing this with live rounds.
Are these ones the 92 clones with cast aluminum receivers? I saw some like that in person at the lgs, half the price of a steel Rossi. The store clerks were pretty critical of them.
I'll take it. Looks more like her hot young granddaughter lol
While beauty might be entirely subjective, the fact that modernized leverguns are more capable tools is very much objective lol.
If someone finds it good looking as well, cool.
It’s a bit of both. They can make it perfectly functional right off the machines, but they won’t make it beautiful.
The best engraving is art, done by hand. The best polishes are burnished to very fine grits, by hand. The best oil finished stocks are wet sanded by hand. The next bluing on high end guns is rust bluing done by hand. On the best guns, even screw slots are cut by hand after fitting, to ensure all the slots point in the same direction.
It’s about form and function meeting together.
It does not appeal to everyone, but for those that appreciate it, craftsmanship very much matters - and you pay for it.

I'd rather have a cold Big Mac and a flat Coke to drink.
Got ya. I don't know if its possible to do or not, but I just figured IF it was, no one would be paying current H&H, Purdy etc prices for it. Would be the death of the brands, even if there was absolutely no quality changes.
