When someone says the gun is vintage we should be quick to ask which vintage that is.


Probably the best answer. I was thinking along the same lines myself, as this is often done with regular antiques.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
