Got a call from Lou @ CSMC earlier this week. He was just checking in with me because we did not make it to the Southern SxS. We had a good, long conversation about the current double gun market and how much things have changed and how the double gun market is winding down. Bottom line, they are moving away from the double gun mfg. business and toward the current market for modern firearms. Sure, they will still build a Mod. 21 or A.H. Fox if you've got the coin, but even those are probably coming to an end before too much water goes under the bridge, and the days of introducing any new o/u or sxs, or a repro of either, are pretty much over. The new Savage/Fox offering is probably a last hurrah.
I could see this coming when they introduced the DP12 double barreled pump shotgun. It was certainly a nice run from Tony Galazan to give us what he did. Wish them the best going forward...
