Two days later, Lin Yu'an received a call from Earl.
"Lin, tomorrow at ten in the morning, at that 'Old Gun Barrel' bar in the west of the city, I'll be waiting for you. I'll take you to meet an old friend."
"He is willing to craft a genuine Winchester M70 for you by hand."
Lin Yu'an knew the old friend Earl mentioned, Hops, a living legend in the gun manufacturing circles of Texas and all of America.
This elderly man, nearly eighty years old, was once one of the top gunsmiths at Winchester Company, involved in the refinement and customization of several classic models of the M70.
After retiring, he opened a small private gun workshop in a small town on the outskirts of Austin, serving only those fated individuals who truly understand and cherish guns, providing personalized customization services.
Lin Yu'an was filled with anticipation, as this was a rare opportunity to get intimately acquainted with the craftsmanship and culture of gun manufacturing.
