Looked nice however a bit out of the prices bracket. A general point you may be able to help with. A couple of FWB's out there as well as the Hammerli. They all seem to have been manufactured in the 70's tho. Is it really OK to be purchasing kit of this age to use on a regular basis rather than to put into a 'collectors' cabinet?
Many thanks for you your help.
