Sounds like good news.
They were a sound brand. I have a little 20-bore BLNE and a little used 12 bore BLE that I didn’t really need but could not resist snapping up at auction when it was going ridiculously cheap.
Ditto.
Perhaps a decade ago, in my case, and the guns are lingering at about the same money today that they were then. The English gun computer sites are awash in Spanish, non ejector boxlocks for less than £100. The stock could be fitted better on my copy, the bluing is ho-hum, but, it has nice case colors, amateur engraving that doesn’t make me want to puke, serviceable disc set strikers, weighs under 6 1/2 lbs, passed Spanish proof at 3”, and it goes bang when I pull the triggers. I didn’t feel bad opening the chokes and I won’t feel bad feeding it steel if they make me. A guy could do worse on a rainy day gun.
Mr. Robert’s dim viewpoint reflects a sad reality, I’m afraid. There is little market for a boxlock at $4K, anywhere.
Best,
Ted
