[QUOTE="Wall, post: 1324117, member: 7420"] [B]First off, this post isn't directed at any 1 person.[/B] It always amazes how little regard people have for craftsmen. There's a reason why gunsmiths are always busy, not many have the skill & patience to get it right. There are very small tolerances. It takes precision down to the thousandth (no exageration). Changing a rack & pinion or repairing an electric service, whatever, doesn't require anywhere near the attention to detail or the patience to hand fit the parts. No, it's not rocket science, but I'll bet the people making these statements couldn't produce a product half the quality as any of the resident gunsmiths. While you could order parts & assemble a functional pistol, functional doesn't mean it's right. [B]I mean no disrespect to anyone[/B], but I think a person trained & practiced in a skill such as gunsmithing deserves a little more credit than what they seem to be getting around here lately. And of all places, a gun board. [/QUOTE]
