I have never seen a poor quality French double and I've owned a few. The French have a penchant for being different. They gave us the Citroen (possibly the ugliest auto ever made), the Renault, the Darne (with appologies to Ted), and many other things which though proven perfect by the Brits and Germans, the French nonetheless had to add weird attachments. Good luck with your gun as I'm sure it is well made. Oh, yeah. They conceded to perfection with the Granger guns. Chops
