got into a couple of collections of english gons last year...

learned a lot, still novice in that world...

big question....why is there such a disparity in perceived values...

understand the box lock/side lock thing...and the level of wood and metal embelishment thing...

but, what about the rest of it...all english made gons i have handled appear to be made to a very high standard of fit, finish and reliability...

dont git why some brands demand five figures and others do not...

what i really like about english gons vs american gons is the lighter weight and better balance one finds with english made gons...

after handling several english guns, i find american guns to be too heavy and clunky...

i used to be a fox guy...but not anymore...

Really Ed. You don’t know anything about consumer branded product and how the branding of a name….. like Nike…..can affect how much people will pay for a product?

If you really don’t you must have somehow avoided retail stores for the last 50 years.

I'll bet the owners of ed's English gun collections are thrilled with the deal ed gave them.

“Go nuts”

How appropriate.

Best,
