The show is for local needs. It meant as a treatise on all thing boxlocks. I think it does fairly point out that there is under appreciated value in a good box lock. He does not often get into other countries guns but does hold several of the guns from Japan in high regard. He also considers most American guns finished to a lower level which is true enough. Guns were built to a level that filled a need, no more, no less. And the box lock flooded the low end with sheer numbers and built to a lower standard because that was all the buyer was willing to pay. I often heard Uncle Dan would love to build the highest grade only but was forced to bring out a series of lesser grade guns to stay in business because that was what sold.
