All lock development has been made to make things easier…. Ie: less skill required
Match to wheel to flint to cap to breach loader to repeater to simi/full auto just moves skill in to the machine, it doesn’t make it do the job any better.

The fat guy with the cigarett is John Daly, a former Arkansas Razorback golf star. This picture has appeared elsewhere as being representative of our state. He is not representative. If I could delete that pic, I would. Color me offended.
