That was the past. Any mechanical design can be mass produced as long as attention is paid to tolerances and material quality. This is more true than ever given the quality of cnc manufacturing today.

No. If you've ever owned a Python or Diamondback, you can feel the difference. The actions are like butter and can only be duplicated by fitting, disassembling, polishing, refitting, etc. Why do you think no one is producing those guns? Because, it can only be accomplished with by master gunsmithing. There aren't even many gunsmiths that can work on the old Colt snakes, much less build them.

Now, there was a period in the 1980s when Colt's labor force went on strike and the managers tried to build the guns. It was a mess. And those guns are still out there.

You must be starved for attention. Stop posting to me. You're ignorant. You obviously have never owned a Python. You have never worked on a Python. You know nothing of what you speak. You're pathetic. I stopped reading your posts long ago and am not reading anything you have to say. The entire forum is made dumber with every post you post. Shut up.

Again, I'm not reading anything you say.
