Dick, Bowers said it all in his web site, First and foremost he is a Buisness man. Did you notice that there was not one single brown gun, in the guns he shows I can see that every last one of them is sporting a clean blue job, sometimes over parts that should have been case hardened, and tha the stocks have all been varnished when most were an oil finish.
Can you say Snake Oil Salesman;
This character is not the onloy one out there doing the same thing. There are plenty of dealers who clean up and over polish every gun.
