"Hurrah" for the American Makers, who produced guns that even us "Po Boys" could afford.
It's somewhat like asking whether a Ford or Chevrolet is best because neither is as good as a Roll's. Either is far ahead of walking if you have far to go.
I have over the years enjoyed shooting with various brands of the American made guns, even the lowly Stevens, & enjoyed my times afield with them all.
Had I been required to wait until I could use an "English Best" I would have had to go armed with a Slingshot.
I simply find Mr Vickners to be highly prejudiced against "ANY" American & frankly in the Famous words of Rhett Butler in GWTW I don't give a *(#@%.
I love my Lefevers & don't truly care whether he likes them or not.
The ball joint does its job & so what if it made assembly a bit cheaper, all the better to keep the cost down.
