bowdog Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Would love to have that one in the safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I have shot a $15k Perazzi shotgun before and in all reality I am very happy with my $1k Browning. I can appreciate the time and craftsmanship that goes into a custom gun like those but still can't justify the crazy cost. Heck I can't be bothered to upgrade to a $3k Citori as my current gun does its job so well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 That's an amazing amount of craftsmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 I thought it was interesting to see what they automate, how much technology goes into it, and how much they still do by hand, highly skilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Pretty cool. I envision my mossberg 500 was crafted in the same manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Pretty cool video. NIce to see a decent amount of craftsmanship on a semi-mass manufacturing level. If you want craftsmanship to gawk at check out Westly Richards. Their stuff will make you wet yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Pretty cool. I envision my mossberg 500 was crafted in the same manner.Only that the workers in white lab coats are actually orangutans. I could have made some of the parts in my mossy500 better with a piece of steel scrap and a couple of dull files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hand-forged, filigree'd , scrimshaw covered, hand checkered ebony handled hammer doesn't drive a nail any better than a $5 harbor freight hammer. Just looks better doing it.

vf1000ride Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) There is no doubting that. I did have the mossy fail on me one time. The set screw in the middle of the safety slide came loose and allowed the gun to get stuck in the "safe" position. Lost a day of sporting clays due to it. It is now very well locktighted and secured that it will not come loose again. Would hate to have that happen to me during an emergency.
