re: #153 William Barnett-Lewis
Nothing that I can go down to the local gun shop and buy is any different than what I could have bought in 1950 except for cosmetics.
From a manufacturing engineering perspective, that’s kind of hard to imagine. Over 62 years, the materials, machining processes, and industrial controls have not improved the finished product at all? Same rate of fire, accuracy, interchangeability, cooling, magazine capacity.. no difference except for the looks?
