My point was pretty simple. You referenced a superb gunsmith in a post about a design of gun he refuses to work on anymore. Seems a bit disingenuous to me.
The list of superb gunsmiths who feel the same is growing longer, not shorter.
Out here in Realville, I know way more people who have washed their hands of that design, some with a really bad taste in their mouth, then you see here. The overt gushing about the quality of these superb American shotguns is a little weird.
Beauty might only be skin deep, but ugly goes all the way down to the substandard braze between the ribs, and the lousy work in the bores. It is not uncommon.
Best,
