Sweet video. But even if I had the money to buy one of those...I'd probably just buy a couple Perazzis or Blasers instead.

I would have to have a lot of money to think about making the purchase, that doesn't take away from the craftsmanship to make them. The old American guns pull at my heart strings more...

Great video clip. Thanks for posting. If this interests you, you might want to check out the book: "Shotguns and Shooting" my Michael McIntosh. Goes into some more detail on the process of hand making a bespoke English shotgun and really well written.

Shotguns and Shooting

Also, if you get a chance check out the round action David McKay Brown shotguns, hand made in Glasgow, Scotland.

They are works of art. If I ever win the Powerball......

Amazing video!
I had know idea what it takes to make a fine firearm like that. I also cannot fathom the cost of one or ever being able to afford one.

I diff have a greater appreciation for them now, truly works of art and for a quick second it went on the list of big wants for later down the road. Then I went to the website and yea frick that. I would have no problem spending 30-40k but the cheapest they had was 85. Just cant see spending that on a gun even if I was a millionaire.
