Elmer Fudd references were something I had hoped to leave behind up north. Not sayig anyone ever referred to me as a Fudd, just that it seems a shame we belittle others who are into guns only for the purpose of hunting wabbits.Lots of designs from the past 50 years are classics in their own right. AK, HK roller locks, P210, Uzi, Sterling, Lugers, etc... Those are considered antique designs and classics now.
The elmer fudd wood and steel guns pre-dating those aren't old school, they are methuselah guns.
