Put any label oe name on me that you want to Edgar, but I guess I’m just ‘old school’.
If I send a fine American classic side-by-side - that never had a weep hole indiscriminately drilled either new or if sent back to the manufacturer for re-browning - to a reputable shop for accurate RESTORATION it had better NOT have a weep hole drilled in it during “restoration.”
These are valuable guns that we take a great deal of pride in and we don’t expect shortcuts to be taken in restoring a gun to original condition.
If your comment wasn’t directed at me.... it doesn’t matter - I still feel the same way.
