I have guns that have taken ten years to complete, many trips by mail, and some that have taken twenty or more. However, my late Purdey Whitworth barrel round action bar in steel hammer heavy proof pigeon gun was a stroke of luck, found in a retail store within forty miles of my home, and has not required the first trip to a gunsmith. What a wonderful gun Owen has. Unfortunately, at 80, I don't have thirty years to enjoy mine.
