I imported them for about 15 years, Gil, and heard from people, and forwarded parts and advice, all over the world during that time. I still hear from 2-10 people a month, usually just asking questions about their guns. Eric had a problem I could help with. Sometimes, it doesn't end that way.
My first task, when I got to St. Etienne, back in the day, was to type answers to a stack of English language correspondence at the plant-with a French language typewriter.
No, the keyboard is NOT identicle to an English language one. None of the English language inquiries were from the US, as I recall.
I could easily get by with 6 guns, Gil. I can't get by with any government official telling me I can only have 6.
What, "Beware the 7th and most deadly gun"? Arbitrary, and irrational.

Best,
Ted
