Here's a 10 minute video put out by Verney-Carron showing the construction of a double rifle. Very well done.

Mark Beasland (

Joe,
Thanks for that. In the same vein, here's another video from AyA about making a SxS. Narration is in Spanish, but you don't need the soundtrack to know what's going on.

When someone asks, "Why does that gun cost so much?" Show them a video like this. That should answer their question.
Beautiful music to boot.
I've had that VC 20 in my hands....some gun, 30" tubes and under 6 lb. I think he has a 13k tag on it. He had it special built. But...I'm not much of a 20 fan.
2holer, if you're speaking of Mark Beasland's V-C 20, I think you need to put a 1 in front of that $3K price.
On second thought, I believe you are correct. I will correct the post.
