There was a test similar to this back when the Ruger GP-100 was first release. They threw it down a cliff, ran it over etc and it still worked. back when Ruger was till chasing police contracts.
I have a relatively early striker fired auto in 32 and even with what I assume are original springs it still runs. Only malfunctions I've had is the slide hitting my hand. Gripping too high. The trigger is actually really good. Better than a Glock
400% your dude ship. I love all things that are that era when a new idea comes and everyone tries an different idea. Like first fuel injection on cars, first revolvers on guns etc. No one is quite sure how to do it and because there's not accepted standard each has to be a short or hand made run. The entire brass era not just guns is my jam.
Sauer & Sohn made beautifully finished handguns & rifles for the civilian markets, even during the war years. It's a shame, as Sig Sauer pretty much shit the bed on all the quality they used to be known for. Many such cases. Sad.
Yea sadly a lot of these companies get taken over by MBAs who run it like any other business (into the ground)
its because they were hand build for the most part. they came from the late 19th century when machining was very expensive and hand labor was very cheap. now machining is basically free and hand labor is very expensive. its why the new Luger costs 5,000 dollars.
Even in it's hayday Lugers were on the more expensive side because machine or hand toggle locks are kinda a bitch to make and deal with.
Agreed. The Frommer Stop and some of the early Bergmann's in particular are some of my favorites looks-wise.
Guess that shows he's aware of Matt(Fuddbusters) dunking on him for his weird shit. Outing his own poor workmanship like that is hilarious, does he really think that's acceptable?
I suck at tig so i can affirmatively say those tig welds are ass. With the thickness of the metal, probably could have done Flux-core, gotten the penetration, and it'd be perfectly strong. Yeah he'd have to clean it up afterwards, fluxcore isn't the cleanest process, but at his skill level, he is not suited for Tig.
He's a revolver bro, so literally me lol.
Not quite.
Bitch, have you heard of a angle grinder? Buff that finish off, then weld you fucking retard, no wonder the Tig welds were ass, you introduced impurities into the weld!
Dad bought one in July or August through Silencer Central and it showed up yesterday. Idk what fast times people are on about, definitely pretty standard times I'd say
If you look at the r/NFA monthly approval megathread Some form 4s come back within a month, many within a week. There are still some that take a few months but its definitely nothing like before.
