What makes a Merlin cocker so special?

[Masonhd81]

What’s the hype behind Merlin cockers? Isn’t the lower tube different? Unsure but they’re expensive

Merlin's also aren't milled on cnc machine their extruded or something like that right, I could be wrong

Extruded, milled, then honed.

The first real 11/16" lower, and well made; it's rarity/ history/ quality all in one.

Many take a different valve and feature a larger valve chamber in an effort to lower operating pressure. As far as hype goes I think a lot of it is nostalgia and the fact that they are recognized as "cool" within the community. Once something is bestowed with the honor of being fashionable and desirable it is hard to shift away from that. That said, I dig them.

The inverse obviously being the ceremonial “casting into the pit of despair” for the markers deemed uncool.
