The short message,from memory,Mr Skeuse was a Parker man and used his technical ability to make computer drawings of same.He wanted to make a few himself. They had Winchester contacts,also as I remember, Olins and he were Cornell men(Chemistry ,I believe ,which was some common ground during our talk as I was teaching a bit also.) So,off to Japan and 12,500 guns which sold like hot cakes sorta.Wore off halfway. Ended up selling to 3 wholesalers.Then, Parker owners raided for some parts and flood water got the rest.At the time of the talk,they still owned the computer stuff and tooling,but thought costs would be too high to continue.So did Remington at that time. It was a lesson in gun economics 101 at least for SxS at that price.Cool guns, somewhat limited market.
