Speaking of cost, I can buy any number of very nice, used, condition VG to like new, Spanish box lock SxS shotguns for between $400 and $600. How much does one of your W&S box locks go for?
You can perhaps point to sources in this country for such guns . . . with the same features a W&$ 700 has (ejectors, to start with)? Awaiting the source of said treasure trove.
Its just amazing the degree to which a gun rag writer can be ignorant. On-line auction houses, Larry, on-line auction houses. Youve heard of those havent you? Sites like Gun Broker? I just did a quick query on Gun Broker and came up with a dozen very nice, used, condition VG to like new, Spanish 12 gauge box lock SxS shotguns for between $400 and $600.
See? It really isnt hard if you bother to look.
You avoided my question on the cost of one of your W&S box locks. So I just did a query on W&S model 700 12 gauge box locks on Gun Broker and Guns International. They are priced between $1,800 and $4,000. Youre probably math challenged, so let me do the numbers for you. Your W&S 700 12 gauge box lock is between four and ten times as expensive as one of the Spanish box lock 12 gauges.
And yes, some of the Spanish shotguns have ejectors. Some also have single, selective, triggers, and are factory cut for choke tubes.
Looks like your W&S 700 12 gauge box lock is less gun for a lot more money. But you dont care about that; youre buying the name and not the gun, right?
