I thought it was a good piece because it's the only time I've seen the DelGrego's in 'person' or any good shots of their shop. I always want to go there when I am in NY but it is so far in the middle of nowhere, I never do.
Although I have no particular love for journalism, I do have a good bit of education on that topic and I think a freshman in college could have done a better job....I'm amazed at how poor writing has become. For example, the story title is 'How a fourth generation gunsmith survives' yet it really gives no insight as to how that happens other than 'he works on guns'. A gunsmith who works on guns? Really?
Most of all, it would have been pivotal to include at least a couple sentences on the Parker gun. You know, "Considered by many to be the finest American made shotgun, the Parker was handcrafted for over 7 decades and is still prized today for its handling and style..." Can you imagine a story on Pierce Arrows that neglected to mention they were a cut above Model T's?
