Even the artisans at Purdey's utilize CNC machining extensively to get the metal and wood down to the point where hand-fitting and finishing are then brought into play. It's the skill, time, and attention at the final stages that make all the difference.

Why would you take away large amounts of metal by hand when it can be done by machine ? Seems to me to be common sense.
After all, barrels have been made by "machine" for a long time.
