I got 4 hour tour of H&H by their plant manager about 10 years ago. The man who arranged it was a plant manager at Ford. He was very familiar with manufacturing operations. As we went thru. my friend was muttering "I would do away with him" Or "why not combine that job with the guy next to him?". The Plant manager said "Jeff - a few hundred dollars difference in a $100,000 gun doesn't make a bit of difference".

H&H had at that time about a dozen or so different receivers. Almost all of them had been coverted to CNC machining, but they had several which they chose not to convert, claiming that if they did that, they would lose the knowledge of how to do it "the old way",and that was not good. For example, I was able to handle a 20 gauge SxSxS which obviously would have been done by hand
