They are the guns that nobody in the states can produce, today. Lowly tools, that went about the business of protecting stock, filling the larder, or, resting behind the kitchen door, a sentinel against the dark and the vermin that came with it.

Imagine what a Western Arms double, or, its cousin, the Nitro Special, would cost to produce today. Interesting to note, the author pretty much admits those guns would not have happened, if tariffs hadn’t allowed it.

Best,
