Smith owners that believe that their guns have anything even remotely in common with an actual good gun.

Dewey: could you please explain your animus toward Smith guns; in language a gentleman could understand and appreciate.
Were you not responsible for restoration of the Peary gun in the DGJ article "The Robert E. Peary Gun" by Tom Archer, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 78?
Is it entirely the gun, or a Smith owner that riled you?
And I'm simply asking, not challenging, and very glad you have returned to gunsmithing/gunbuilding.

a downhand 6011 type weld pass, with the SMAW, not TIG- wow- turned that old fluesie into a real POS.It doesnt bother me that Dewey has a negative approach to Elsies- I love mine like I do my children and grandchildren- But Dewey is a real gentleman, unlike many of the "carriage bolt oriented azzholers" who patrol these hallowed halls of doublegundumb-- 5 summers ago, Mavis and I, both History buffs, were en route to Williamsburg VA, and AA routed us through Gettysburg PA on our way down. At that time, Dewey was in Liditz, home of the Victor animal trap Co., and that was just a jog out of our way. He was most gracious in extending an invite to stop and visit and see his shop. Time, weather and car problems didn't allow that to happen, unfortunately, but I will always remember his kindness in extending an invite to someone he had not yet met, but shared with some interests (machine shop, welding, and double guns)held in common. Glad you are back in the "gun game" Dewey- good on you!! RWTF

Drew,
You know very well the answer to your second question to Dewey, and I suspect you can get the answer to your other questions from the owner of the Peary gun !

Are you sure he is referring to the LC Smith or is he referring to gunsmiths?

How 'bout the "The Monagarm Gun"; represented as a Turnbull restored, Cody lettered 1911 20g Monogram Ejector, with the rare and exotic "Whitwroth" barrels   Dick: indeed.

That engraver has probably never seen the inside of the Hunter Arms Company factory.
