True, Drew. Guns, even JABC's, were bordering on luxury items when bought new. Everybody and thing on the farm worked hard to pull its weight. It should be no surprise that JABC's (built to the price point farmers could afford) lacked the care and staying power of the higher priced English guns. Never the less, they deserve our respect for their contribution to making America great. Without them many of us would not be in position to enjoy their rich cousins from accross the Channel.
