I saw a triangular sign. Three corners had "Faster", "Better" and "Cheaper", one on each corner.
In the middle it said "Pick two." I always liked that sign, figured it explained a lot about making all
sorts of "stuff". A Russian M91/30 is a good example. You can have one nice rifle or three
REALLY ugly rifles that work. Your choice.....and the Germans were pouring over the steppes. Looks like
a failed 8th grade shop project, but it will work.
And Bret - except for the shotguns....have you been sneaking around in my basement?
Post #35 hits pretty close to home for some of us gun cranks.
Bret, - have you ever seen a Turnbull gun "in the flesh"? The first I saw,my jaw dropped,
and I was a bit disoriented. It was a real Win 92, but it was NEW and PERFECT and GORGEOUS,
but it was a REAL Win 92, they are old and beat.... does not compute. Next to it was a Win 73,
same condition. Looked up at the guy at the gun show table after a couple of minutes....it was Turnbull himself,
we had a short chat, had no idea who he was (many years ago) but was in awe of his work, and told
him so. Like he didn't already know.
