CNC machines lower costs, eliminate the need to maintain large inventories, minimise hand finishing. Do these benefits get passed o to the final consumer?
The former production manager of Purdey posed this rhetorical question in an article in Shooting Sportsman and concluded that this is a matter for the marketing department. Presumably this means no, the benefits are not passed on.
Years ago the Gun Digest carried a article titled Prefecting the Boxlock. The ideas mentioned in the article are embodied in the RBL. YEt the RBL is marketed as a result of "innovative thinking" by the CSMC folks. Innovative? Twenty years later?
