I wonder if anybody was thinking about the Crap Cannon in ‘58.

Screw the "guns of the future", I want some of those "guns of the past". Especially at the prices of the past.
I know the dollar was probably worth 10x as much then, but I would still pay $750 in today's dollars for the super-fancy, ultra-rare Circassian walnut stock blanks.
Looking from 1958 to today, they could comprehend the mechanical part of "modern" weapons (other than why the US abandoned the M1911). Modern sights and night vision would be mind-blowing, due to advances in computers, electronics, and optics.
And, of course, there are far more computerized machines making weapons today, and fewer human craftsmen.

What fun going through that 1958 Gun magazine.
Thanks!
