You do seem to have a fascination with 19th century technology lately.
I suppose next year it will be flintlocks. At least you will be able
to say it was the gun the framers had in mind. ;-)


I do like mechanical processes that involve the operators. That's
probably why I like lever and bolt action rifles and revolvers and on
cars and trucks, standard transmissions.



There's nothing wrong with that. I'm impressed with the craftsmanship
of older lever action rifles. They aren't any easy gun to make without
CNC machines and investment casting.
