Greg,
I used to like round actions and wood...now I realize that many round looking guns (wood) have had their sharp edges sanded off...it looks terrible to me now...especially on a L C Smith...even the guns that left the factory like that (Cordy/Gastiene Renette) look bad to me now...(Dickson and Kennedy still look good)

I used to NOT like sideplated doubles...now that I know that the French elevated the faux sidelock to feather weights not achievable with a conventional box lock, I've gained a new appreciation for them...

I used to NOT like any skip line checkering...again the French have changed my opinion


I hope this was the kind of responses you were looking for...
