Happy Birthday

John Moses Browning. 

There are other firearms, but his designs are still in use today. Think about that: over a hundred years, and his designs are still relevant.

Had a discussion with my Dad the other day...What would Browning do with modern manufacturing methods....and materials?

In his day, you started with a chunk of steel and carved away anything that didn't look like a gun. And steel was all he had to work with.....
Today we mold plastics (and metals), surface heat treat use induction heating, have wonderful alloys of steels, aluminum, and exotics such as scandium and titanium....
