Mr. Harm: You're right. Most of the better American guns (pre-WWII) didn't. Probably why they are now considered "classic". Almost all of the more modern guns utilize drawbolts as a means of controlling costs. Some are even made without a human hand ever touching them, start to finish. CNC controlled machine work and lazer engraved. Even the checkering is done by computer-controlled lazers.
