What is the current price range for "standard" Darne SxS's?
That question has become the kiss of death to more than one hand made gun company-witness the Spanish makers who have exited the "standard" market.
During my run as the importer, Paul and Hervé were trying, hard, to get away from building anything lower in grade than an R15. They were working off of inventory on parts, and building a 28 gauge Darne R13 cost them a set of tubes and a small frame R action that would have been far more profitable to use on an RHS. Second sets of barrels cost them a gun.
Sad to say, but, if you have to ask the price, good gun makers aren't interested in you.
Best,
Ted
