"However there were also some of the finest guns ever made that came from the Basque region."
Yep, but they weren't imported by Dakin. In fact, though, even many of those high quality guns were made exactly as I described, just with good quality control. Even AYA guns show a lot of hand work. Some folks consider that a sign of quality; I consider it a sign of primitive industry.
Every time I tried to work on those guns (and I worked on good ones), I failed to be impressed; I still like being able to replace the hammer on a Remington 870 without a file and ten hours labor.
