Yes! Weekly has an interesting article about a gun factory in Jamestown that produced weapons for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Another article relates how the area was known for the manufacture of guns. Worth a look…

This reminded me of a visit I made to DAra Pakistan IN 1971. It is famous for its gun making and is very close to the Afghanistan border.
Here is a video of that area:

Boy, you REALLY have been everywhere, Fred! Was it in connection with the DEA that you made that trip?
TC, yes it was my job with DEA that took me there. I also got to Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi and Peshawar but the gun making in Dara was fascinating
For the record it was 1981, 1983 and 1983.
That’s amazing, Fred. Roads not traveled very often by other Americans, and for good reason…
