Why is Hacker considered 'Johnson City?' I understand the Lester Smith connection but I thought Hacker was in VA somewhere. Frankly when I think Johnson City (we're talking TN, right?) I think of Louis Smith who really was cranking those mothers out. Apparently no connection to Lester. And Lousi knew his business too, there are a couple of guys around here with Louis Smith rifles and while they seem a little "too perfect" to my eye, the guy was one $#*! of a gun stocker and especially engraver. I would have liked to have sat down and had a good talk with him. He sure made a $#*! of a lot of rifles, it seems.
