It puzzles me, how can Purdey, Holland,Churchill,Boss, Wm.Powell, and now Wm. Evans to a lesser degree have the manufacturing facilities, staff and therefore the overheads to have guns made by outworkers or abroad and still have to pay their staff salaries and overheads? It really does seem like commercial suicide to me.If you are outsourcing, your retainees need to be outed.Hard, but reality sometimes is that way I'm afraid.
