Joe: I think we just have different definitions of what makes a gun "cheap." When I think of a cheap gun, I think of one that shouldn't have been shot even when new. I agree that the gun was "tarted-up" a bit and share your thoughts about Belgium, but the Belgian shops have always been capable of high quality, low quality, and everything in between. From this limited perspective, I see that gun as falling somewhat above low-quality. TT
