I own a couple of Beretta doubles and a Spanish SxS.
Many tasks that these guys are doing can be accomplished faster, better and less expensive using a CNC machine. Unfortunately, sooner or later these guys will be out of work. Businesses either improve their processes or they go out of business. This shop will not be around in a few years. |

The truth of the whole thing is the small gunmakers that only produce a few guns a year, sell all they make. And they are booked up for years in advance. There are many people around the world willing to pay any price for hand made quality.

Thanks for the post and the video.
I was hoping to get a visual idea of how the barrels are regulated, and which shotshell components were used in the regulation process. salty

I've never been able to afford a top-flight double gun, or any other very expensive weapon. Never will unless I hit the lottery or publish my best-seller. But I can handle one of the gems and feel what went into making it a work of art. We have a very fine historical arms museum in my city. I can get lost looking at the wonderfully crafted antique weapons, or the lesser ones redolent of history, and get a feeling I can't get from a Glock or SIG or Ruger. It's the echo of human hands on steel.
