Still waiting to hear back about the U.S. importer/dealer. They've replied with emails that don't really answer my questions so I might just call.

Does anyone but me think that this is likely a scam?
I'd certainly insist on some kind of business references from the company before sending any funds.

I spoke with their "US partner" yesterday, this importer has dealt with them with only their low end hardware store type guns--not their high end sidelocks, but has visited their factory in Turkey and seen the sidelocks there. He described the high end sidelocks that he examined as "they compare favorably with a Holland & Holland". These were his words, not mine.

Thanks John sounds good. Let's see how this develops. Shotgun: I talked to Mark DeHann and he knows the Mfg. and says he is honest, but he hasn't handled any of their guns, so he doesn't know how good/bad they are. Hope this helps.

John, does the $350 fee to you mean that there will be additional shipping, excise, and other charges ? Or is that the all inclusive fee to import ?

I also spoke with the dealer yesterday. My experience pretty much mimics "Wild Skies". He wasn't much help. Though he did say it would run about $350 extra or so for shipping and additional transfer fees.
At this point, I guess the only thing to do is call the factory directly.
