Why aren't there imported repro Foxes, Lefevers,etc.?
I do own a repro Parker that was made 20+ years ago in Japan. I also know there was an attempt to make repro Ithaca's in Italy about 8 years ago. But rather than manufacturing new designs such as the Huglu, S&W, SKB, etc. overseas, I wonder why they aren't making repro Lefevers, Foxes, and Parkers? Wouldn't the Parker tooling still be available from Japan?
Wouldn't it seem worthwhile for a Turkish, Vietnamese, or
Chinese company to make an A.H. Fox copy for under a grand?
The biggest problem is licensing. The Ken Hurst Lefever will most likely never be called a Lefever on the gun. Why do you want to put Tony Galazan out of business by importing Fox guns? The other reality is that the American market for a sxs is very small no matter what the date of manufacture.
