Buzz - spot on!
Some customers take the view they'd like a new gun built on the old action.
They approach it as they would buying anew gun, but they have the action and locks, the heart of a vintage gun of class and character.
I really do think this does have a future. While I am a purist like OWD and crave originality, an old gun does not deserve to hit the scrap pile just because the barrels are rubbish. It still has the Heart of a Lion, and a story to tell. Upon seeing the marvelous work of Heritage Guns at the Beinfeld Show in January, I realized there is a market and a place for these "born anew" guns. I would rather have a born again Hammer for 20k than pay 70k for a new Purdey example---any day
