I don't believe that it really matters how much is hand made and how much is done by machine. What matters is the end result. Really nothing is completely hand made since the stone age. And if you want to split hairs probably not even then. The only reason they used a hanmmer and chisel 100 years ago is because they didn't have a machine that was capable and now we do. It still took a great deal of knowledge and talent to make the machine and program it to do the job. The more proficient the manufacturers are with their machinery the more high quality guns we will all be able to afford. So not much is truly "hand made" any more and that is not bad its progress.

BTW Steve, I think you could go to prison for that post but I will agree it is hand made.
