I've never bought from the English gun auction houses. I understand from posts here that double the hammer price is good general estimate for firearms, but how much does a hard gun case cost to ship to the U.S.? A little more involved than putting it in a hard case and mailing to USA. Its the paper work , import and export licences ,plus the fewer and fewer carriers will take guns of any sort .

All true, as well as the broker fees and inland delivery. Overhead has increased dramatically in the last few years. I have kept my prices down by increasing volume.

Re Harrington & Richardson as the importer of Scott guns: The Crawford & Whatley book on Scott lists 1971-75 for the years when H&R was the importer. Back then, I was either overseas (where I bought an Ithaca SKB Model 150 sxs for $162 at the Navy Rod & Gun Club in Rota, Spain . . . A new Winchester 101 20ga OU would have been about $30 more) or back in the States as a grad student, or in my first year as a high school teacher. In any case, I remember admiring those guns, but they were out of my price range.
