The new guns are shrinking continually and chopping more and more material off - which his great, and I love the prospect of such a compact gat. But there's no room left for any sweet milling to add character etc.

I guess the trends are going for bare minimum and easy wiping for fast turnaround. Functional and slick...but a tad boring after a while
