I like cycling the bolt.

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.

Actually CnC machines are dribbling their way out into the hinterlands
as long as old doesn't bother you.
I am trying to work a deal on Henk's "old" one.
