Hey please don't compare them to that seedy worn out pimp of a mascot for a failing magazine company.

Not in the sense they are talking about though. He's referring to the era of manufacture when making a single gun took a mile long wearhouse, and each piece of the gun took a line of 20-30 single operation dedicated shapers pushing form tools over custom fixtures. The little ejector in a p08 might have taken 20 dedicated machines to produce. This is a very long sight from putting a VFD and a DRO on a bridgeport.

@SigneOtter I agreed that old tools are good. Also I don't disagree that machine tools are machine tools. What I was trying to convey is that the kind of tools you are describing as widely in general use aren't what most of the guns were produced with at the big arsenals. They had machines specialized for mass production rather than a one off part. You aren't going to find shapers and huge rifling lathes at your local fabrication shop. You will find a small universal lathe, and an end mill. Sure they are period machine tools, but they won't recreate the methods of production used for mass production in that era. I would love to have any of the above though. My current tooling is very limited.

@warshipsatin8764 nope. Referring to him as a pimp is accurate regardless of degree of choice the women have. Are you arguing that prostitutes never have agency?
