Some of you old guys think of what the last poster said. Salaried toolmaker to building this gun, 36 years. 1976 to today, 36 years. Not really such a "huge gap". What were you doing with tools in 1976 that you can't do as well or better today? Our poster Bolero must be a young guy.
Hi, my reference wasn't an attempt to imply anything other than it was a long time or huge gap from when he was actually employed in guns and machining to when he actually assembled the gun...
I think your reasoning is sound though...
I am fortunately 71 years young...
