Stan,
I don't think the Italian Gun Making Industry is all that healthy.
Many of the smaller makers have liquidated exactly like Arrieta dfor exactly the same reasons.
Indeed Perazzi have been on the brink a number of times.
As I have always said poor marketing is largely to blame .
Kemen & Grulla have both made and still do make quality products , bot who has heard of them and who actually buys them nowadays , and why?
