GUYS,
I don't think this project would eliminate any American jobs. The SxS's I have in mind are the field grade Americn classics that are not worth a $3k restoration job by a quality domestic gunsmith.
But they may be worth a $1k "foreign" restoration....
I'm sure you all see "rough SxS's" with $300 to $500 price tags on Sterlingworths, Ithacas, Elsies, Remington 1900's, etc. that really need a new stock to be used. Maybe the old stock is cracked, broken, too short, too much drop, etc. so the gun sits unused, even though the basic metalwork is still sound.
The idea would be to bring these oldtimers back to usage, instead of them resting in someone's closet.
JERRY
