Chapter 203 The Unrecoverable VO Falcon
"Mr. Fred, although he doesn't want to admit it, this gun... to be honest, the value of repair is almost gone. Look here..."
After carefully examining the exquisite hunting rifle, Ye Qing said with regret, and pointed at a depression on the barrel.
"Looking at this depression, your grandson is still young and hasn't smashed it too deep. But I believe you also know that top custom firearms have a mysterious balance. The sheet metal can push it back into its original state, and it is not difficult for those who can't see any trace when dealing with the appearance."
"But there will definitely be abnormal twists in the rifle inside the barrel. Perhaps it will not affect the safety of the gun, but the damage to accuracy is undoubtedly fatal. In other words, if you want to repair the barrel, you have to re-made a brand new barrel."
"I know, alas. Mr. Ye, you are very honest. You didn't fool me with your appearance, and I am very grateful for this. But..."
Fred wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ye Qing's hand.
Just as the old man said, although the other party's offer without a limit made me very moved, this gun is indeed no longer a simple repair.
If you want to fix it, you might as well remade it unless you destroy some original things.
"Look here again, on the butt stock. I just counted it carefully. There are 24 fine anti-slip burns on the butt stock of the falcon and the anti-slip grid in inches. Have you seen it?"
Ye Qing held one of the defective positions with his hands and pointed it to Fred and Luca. Hearing this, Fred quickly took out his reading glasses and came up.
"Yes, a small piece is spent here. I'm old and I can't see this before... These fine anti-slip patterns were done by Mr. Olson himself."
Fred sighed heavily after seeing this extremely insignificant injury.
"It's a problem now. As far as I know, the walnut base material selected by vo The walnut base material selected by falcon is all aged walnuts that have been air-dried for more than four years. In addition, you have to find beautiful patterns. This is not easy to do!"
Although Luca's position in Sigsauer is the brand operation director, he is also in charge of sig sauer exclusive. Over the years, although he will not change guns, he still knows the cost of these raw materials and the difficulty of obtaining them.
"Yes, neither of these places is very obvious. I don't need to say where the pattern on the metal parts is damaged, it's obvious. So, it's really no different to making a new one."
Ye Qing shrugged, feeling a little regretful. This trip seemed to be in vain~
"I think, Mr. Fred. When you found Mr. Vigo Olsen, he should have told you the same, right?"
Vigo Olsen is the producer of vo The owner of vo gun factory, and also the royal gunmaker of the Swedish royal family.
He and his son, Olsen and his son, are the souls of vo. The assembly of this gun and some key parts are completed by the two of them themselves, while the rest of the gunsmiths can only be responsible for some pattern carvings that have little impact on performance.
"Yes, do you two want one?"
Hearing the "death sentence" that Ye Qing said, Fred sat down on the chair next to him with some depressed disdain. Then he took out a cigarette box from his pocket, and after dissipating the cigarette, he lit one.
"But Old Montes can't wait long, and he hasn't been buried yet, so he's just waiting for his children to come back. Do you still want me to fly to the Federation to find hope?"
"It's useless. The Federal modification companies or studios don't have much exposure to shotguns. In other words, their ideas are different from those here, just like those I did before. Most of them are mass-produced guns for modification, because this sells better and the market is more famous."
Fred's cigarette seems to be homemade hand-cooked cigarettes. The taste is very different from the tobacco-cured tobacco that Ye Qing usually likes to smoke. But the taste is very good. Ye Qing, who was savoring the fragrance of tobacco, said without thinking after hearing Fred's words.
This may be a bit exciting for Fred now. But it is better than an old man flying across the Atlantic Ocean with hope and returning empty-handed.
"Is there no way to vo? For example, if you change the delivery order, you can sell it to you in advance?"
"I asked, their orders were all five years later, and even if they were willing to, it would take four months later. Their batch of walnuts had not been completed yet. With Vigo's character, he would not accept the defective products from leaking out. Moreover, I don't want to give poor Montes something to deal with."
Fred smiled bitterly when he heard this.
These top gunsmiths are undoubtedly a group of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. Without this personality, they would not be able to make such exquisite products.
This characteristic is a manifestation of silence in the eyes of most businessmen, but it is this silly spirit that strives for excellence in products that sublimates the original tools into art.
The spirit of craftsmanship is nothing more than this.
"Is there really no way?"
"Yes, Ye. Think about it, is there any compromise? Even if...even if you don't ask for exactly the same as before!"
Looking at the last trace of expectation remaining in Fred's eyes, Luca also asked tentatively.
Don't ask for exactly the same? Didn't you mean to be exactly the same?
Ye Qing was stunned by Luka's words, and then looked at Fred who had not spoken out.
"Mr. Fred, are you sure you can accept something that is not exactly the same? If that's the case, maybe I can think of a way."
Ye Qing's words are correct. Carving the rifle of the barrel is a slow and meticulous task for ordinary gunsmiths. It will take at least two months to draw the rifle by hand to ensure that there is no mistake.
But Ye Qing is different. Not to mention the super absolute stability created by the previous crazy life. Just talking about the existence of the system training ground can make Ye Qing try and make mistakes repeatedly.
Another more important point is Ye Qing's age.
At a young age, there may be a gap in experience, but when it comes to physical strength and hand stability, he is undoubtedly much better than Vigo.
Ye Qing can now design a vo falcon so that the balance between performance and luxury, weight and precision can be achieved to the best fit according to customer differences. Ye Qing cannot do it.
But if you put this aside, you will slightly reduce the quality. To achieve more than 99% of the repair, the difficulty will be much lower.
After all, the difference between super and excellent is the last one percent.
"Do I have any choice now? Ye, please! I believe in you!"
