Lowell, I don't think it is the English gun at all, I think a much too large segment of members from all gun forums can't resist speaking from their personal emotions rather than facts no matter what the topic. Washington politics has nothing on gun owner politics.

Hard to believe that after almost 90 posts there have been but few actual answers with just facts provided to the original question "Can any one provide more information on which gun makers are operating from the "trade", local or foreign?"

O.K., so it's not hard to believe at all.

I personally like English guns for what they are, and other lesser guns for what they represent as well. But when a significant number of the initial responses to the question are immediate defenses rather than any factual answers first, my first thought was that there is more than meets the eye involved in this topic.

Who knows, maybe people just like beating each other up on gun topics as much as they do in political discussions. Maybe even more so since inherently the gun is an aggressive instrument that is bound to attract a higher percentage of aggressive orieneted owners.

I'd better head for some solid cover after that last statement.
