To me it is the contrast of young verse old in our females and guns. We want our females to always look and feel like they did at 20, but our guns to look and feel like they do after a hundred years of wear, tear, repairs and just being so worn out that they are junk. Little real thought about how they felt when new, as gunman says. And several ounces removed from the barrels can make a big difference. The gun gets lighter in the barrels and more butt stock heavy. Then sleeve the gun to original weight and we think it is now barrel heavy when all it is is restored to original conditions. But we only know what the end was like because we never knew the gun as it was in its youth.
