amazing what they can do when they want to.
I was watching a video of them assembling some recent commemorative 870's the other day.
the guy actually took a little care, put a part on and tried it, then took it off and got another part out of the bin and tried it.
it took him about 7 minutes to assemble the gun after looking at, trying, and wiping down the parts.
then he function tested and checked the go-no go on the chamber.
he was in no hurry, and he was explaining what he was looking at.
he wasn't a master anything, and wasn't even looking real close at the parts but he did actually look at them.
the bluing was nice and deep, the buffing wheel work looked real good, and you could hear the schick-snap of the parts fitting together.
so up the line there is the capability to build a quality gun [well a couple hundred of them anyway]
unfortunately they still cost an ounce of gold retail.
