1. The gun I saw is a SxS sidelock, not a boxlock
2. Beretta SxSs are common guns
3. The fit and workmanship on this gun was incredibly fine - it was definitely not some low-end job
4. Kemen has just responded to my enquiry and it can be converted to a DT with a new trigger assembly, but that's a deal-breaker costwise
5. This is the first Kemen SxS that I've seen, it's clearly not the only one in existence. The gun handles extremely well and the fit and finish is incredible for an under-10K shotgun. It's just too bad about the silly single trigger.
6. I think there are available parts in this country - there is a Kemen USA in Texas. But in all the years, I've only need a few shotgun parts - one was a broken "V" spring that I broke myself on a 30-yr old Spanish sidelock; a mushroomed firing pin on an AyA. I only have pretty decent DT SxSs and they are very reliable guns if cared for.
7. I still lust after this Kemen
