Do you know what a new multi-axis CNC mill(just one of the machines required) costs? Wire EDM, Sinker EDM, CNC lathe? Trained operators and engineers are not cheap. Parts that come off the machines still need a pile of hand work.
Do you know of Ian Clark? Ian supplies many of the Best makers with raw parts including the new rising bites from Rigby. The guns still take many, many hours of highly skilled hand work to complete, even using the most modern technology.
How many guns do Perazzi sell in year? And the British Best makers? Not the same game.
I will agree with you about the oil bottles and scarves.
