I spoke with their "US partner" yesterday, this importer has dealt with them with only their low end hardware store type guns--not their high end sidelocks, but has visited their factory in Turkey and seen the sidelocks there. He described the high end sidelocks that he examined as "they compare favorably with a Holland & Holland". These were his words, not mine. I think you are looking at all "hardware store type guns".....if the guy compared them "favorably with a Holland and Holland" I'd have hung up on him real quick.

Has anyone ever seen a Turkish gun that was even remotely close in fit, finish and overall quality to a London best? I have not.

Yeah that old sad thing.....I sure do suffer carrying her. Ever get the action straighten out on your old Scott? You know the one that has the bent bar in an amateur attempt at putting it back on face.

This just to dispel any doubts about the company: Kommando at IWA 2011 JC P.S.: I was invited to visit them in Nürnberg by their Export Manager, but he forgot to enclose airfare.
