Hmmm... Ever wonder why Holland & Holland or Purdey doesn't have warranty repair stations?
Then again, that's just being a gun snob...
That is because they want all service work done at the factory. You can find Purdeys and H&Hs made back in the 70s and 80s that aren't up to snuff, and there is a another current thread discussing problems with A&S Famars, which cost more than most Spanish guns.
If you take apart an Arrieta 801/802/803 or an AyA Model 1, those guns are well finished, and at $10-15K for a completely bespoke sidelock, you will be very hard-pressed to match that quality anywhere close to that price. Arrieta apparently does not make much money on their 500 series guns and may drop them and limit their production to higher end guns like Grulla and Arrizabalaga have done.
