Great video. But let’s remember that almost all English guns were built in the same way, often with the same care—minus the music and machinery. And even the plainest continues to amaze me. Try to imagine a rough forged action in the hands of a master craftsman circa 1900. No CNC machines or precise milling equipment—all the craftsman had was his files, saws, chisels, and a lifetime of skill to form an action that often would equal the best of what our computer generated products are able to produce today. God gave man incredible gifts to create perfection with his own hands.
