treblig1958:
I am sure H&H does not need me to come to their defense. However, I can assure you that ALL Holland & Holland guns are "built" in their London factory. I have stood next to the machines and craftsmen who do it. In the factory. With Holland & Holland management.

That aside, you are correct in the fact that H&H used W. & C. Scott & Son as one source of action forgings, barrels, etc., prior to the construction of their own factory. After that, most outsourcing was scaled back severely. And in NO case did Scott ever "build" Holland & Holland guns.

But, perhaps you have more valid sources than my own.
