Yes that sort of attention to detail would no doubt only be used on their high end stuff, hence the price I guess, I do enjoy watching how the high end stuff is made, just beautiful to see the true craftsmanship that goes into them.

If you have a custom one made to order they're about $150,000 or something I thought.

You can assume from there how much of the work shown there gets cut out on a run of the mill one.

Always love seeing the fabrication machines doing their thing.

Amazing we have such automated precision IMO.

Those people must go home after a day at work and really feel like they'd done something worthwhile. Personally I'd rather have one of something so well made than a great raft of mass produced black plastic. Too bad most of us will never be able to afford it. Wouldn't do though to have a Cape Buff trample all over it, especially if you were still holding it. That sort of craftsmanship never goes out of style, regardless of how many AR style clones get churned out.
