I've never heard that, but I guess it's possible. But what does "entirely by hand" mean? Are they filing up raw forgings for the action, forend iron, etc? If they are, I wonder who is providing them?

What about the bbls? Are they drilling their own tubes?

And if a company uses CNC-shaped parts and then fits them by hand to Best quality, I wonder if it really matter.

Thanks

BTW: what do you mean by "Purdey-style" locks over on the other board? Do you mean a Beesley action? And do you mean Hellis is making guns on Beesley actions?

Thanks again.
