I think the reason they WON'T build one today is the market simply isn't there. Everyone now wants polymer pot metal high capacity mass produced junk. I fear our culture is doomed. I would gladly pay good money for a rifle made to the same standards and the same materials as the one produced in the 30s.

I have shot a 1947 target master 510 for years that was purchased used for under $10 in the early 1970s.
I was buying target masters at $50 in 2003.
In 2010 they cost $200 at gun shows.
The wake up call for me was in 1995 when I saw someone shoot a 10/22 with scope as well as I could shoot a target master with double peep sights.
