I prefer the newer version because of modern metallurgy and machining.
Depending on when during the war older guns were made, the quality of steel
may be questioable, whereas modern chrome-moly steel will last way longer and
cnc-milled parts would be easier to replace (if ever needed)rather than have
to be hand fit due to parts being milled or ground on machines that required
being smacked by a hammer to be adjusted.
