I'm under the impression that gunmaking sprouted where there was water power and iron. Not wind power and tulips.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

wind or water can drive machine tools...
however, one cannot make steel without iron...
perhaps rob has hit upon something here?
however, many gun making countries were also eager to sell barrels, receivers and other metal parts...
for example, many early american, swedish and italian made guns have german made krupp barrels...
and many english gunmakers sourced their gun parts from belgian makers, located in leige...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Never thought about this before but the Dutch being a colonial power in Asia & Africa in the 16th & 17th century they must have had a gun making industry. Portugal also.
The Dutch made Lewis guns in WWII.
Maybe they got all their doubles from the Belgians & had no need to manufacture themselves while the neighbours had it all in hand.
O.M

why no canadian, austrailan nor new zealand made doubleguns? Those three are Commonwealth countries with England as mother. They supplied primary produce in trade for many English manufactured items. No doubles made there that I know of but there is firearms manufacturing in those countries. O.M

There was at least one Canadian double gun maker- Tobin, and Tobin was succeeded by Crandall. I can't recall about O/U guns, but I have seen quite a few Browning firearms marked Made in Portugal.

FEG - Hungary
Curiously, FEG made SxS's and O/U's that were stamped with the name "ADANAC", which is Canada spelled backwards.

I had heard the the IJ Hercules was for a period "made" in Canada by Cooey, but according to the interweb, more precisely:
"[The] Iver Johnson Hercules was finished and assembled by the Cooey Firearms Company in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada. Cooey had an arrangement with Iver Johnson from about 1932 to at least 1939 to finish guns for the Canadian and British market."
Sounds like an arrangement not unlike the former Ithaca assembly and repair plant in Dunnville, Ontario.
