Uberti revolvers

I have always loved Uberti guns. Thanks for posting.

Cool but it's a misleading stat. Produces 40% of the world's sporting shotguns, not small arms.

The biggest producers of small arms are the US, China, Russia, Germany, Austria, etc. Italian production is not even top 10 on those stats.

A monument to a gun maker. Could you imagine if there was a monument to Samuel Colt in the USA.

 

[Tinman]

There should be.

There should be.

If I won the lottery I think I'd commission 20 foot statues to line the driveway.

Sam Colt
John Browning
John Garand
Eugene Stoner
John Thompson
John Blish
Hiram Maxim

Hell, I'd even have a section for the non US superstars like Mikhail Kalishnakov, Uziel Gal, Gaston Glock and a few others.

Darn, I just realized how many "John"s are in the American list....
