Good Morning Gentlemen,
To clarify, our barrels, are not 'Monoblock' We manufacture the entire barrel set including the'monoblock' section and forend loop from the same billet of steel there are no joins whatsoever in our barrels. We start with a 62lb billet of steel and the resulting (30") barrels weigh approximately 2lb 14oz.
Hello Gunflint Charlie, you are quite correct the investment needed to produce guns in this way and to our level of quality and precision is a very significant factor some of which (in our case) has to be recouped
My best wishes
Elaine
