Mr H-


This definitely looks to be quite the bold maneuver.
I'm keeping my eyes and ears on the story for sure.

From what I've seen of the US-built Rigbys, and most of them have looked more or less like this one, image pinched off the gunsinternational site

and this


and not like this, also pinched from the gunsinternational site



I know that there are different action types shown there, but what I'm pointing to is a general style and level of presentation and finish.
I'm very much interested to see what the work of this new London-based effort will look like - and how it will handle and how it will run.


What legal issues there may be - that could very well end up being quite interesting, but I doubt there will be OJ Simpson-esque transparency to the proceedings...



Cheers

Other than a website, do they have a real presence that anyone has seen?

It seems kind of odd that their launch hasn't been mentioned in the UK sporting mags.

Or maybe it has been mentioned and I missed it.

OWD-


I can't speak directly for this group - but from what I've gotten via off-line conversation is that they are definitely living, breathing men with time and experience in the London trade, also with real-live metal and machinery piling chips behind the business of production.


As incendiary as this (seemingly too early) outing of the new Rigby effort might seem - one thing that appears to be true is that it's not vapor-ware and that these guys believe in what they're up to.

I hope what they build doesn't look as cheaply made as the three guns you posted.

As an aside, what is that drippy greasy shiny stuff that Puglisi smears on all his guns? Wonder what it smells like!

Looks like someone was eating fried chicken while handling the guns! No, not possible!

FWIW;
Was in Westley Richards Agency building in 1997 as they were getting ready for the SCI show. Bob Francis and Simon Clode were discussing how every gun got a light wipe each day with a silacone cloth to "improve" the looks of the gun during display. I even got to hold the bottle of magic elixer made for WR.
