Ironic example is the use of modern quality controls to check traditional work, ie Xraying the joint of chopper lump barrels.
There is some confusion between the result and the means used to achieve it. Personally I have no fetish re "traditional hand work". I have enough technical knowledge to know that CNC machines and modern polishing processes get better results than hands, or that monobloc is the better barrel making method than chopper lump.
My interest is more in the ergonomics achieved in traditional guns and not the appeal of hand work, London addresses, prestigious names etc.
And still cannot fathom the insistence on using 17th century tinning technology involved in ribs on an item made by 21st century CNC machinery.
