LOL, Politics, guns, lots of bird watching (loons :-)
Okay, how about this - what metal working have you seen on guns that was either very impressive or not so much.
I'll stir/start it up with an on the fence comment - the welds on the receivers of the HK MP5/94/SP89 and the G3/91 - those guys are just showing off.
Anything built to John Browning's drawings.
Well since Browning is taken, I'll have to say Paul Mausers designs.

I am disappointed. No one added Eugene Stoner to the list.

Sorry you are disappointed but I'd put John Garand on the list before him. I haven't decided whether I'd put Bill Ruger before or after Stoner.
Frank de Haas ("Mr. Single Shot") and Charles Newton (turnbolt).

? Garand's chief accomplishment was being a Springfield employee, which meant the arsenal was willing to cast aside other designs and bend over backward trying to make the M1 reliable and accurate.
My nominee:
Dieudonné Saive, designer of the Browning HiPower, FN49 and FAL.
