Wow.. Possibly a small bit of hyberbole there (no!) but the fact that those shells (and the lugs!) took a lot of file work is absolutely true! Fischer bb shells were Swiss made, were they not? Interesting that I have not seen any reference to other bits by Fischer.. lugs, misc fitments? Can anyone elaborate?
