Thanks for posting the video, Adam. Interesting stuff, and I wish those guys the best. I might gently suggest that in these times of Blair and Cameron 'British-made' no longer carries the cachet that it did in the days of Empire and Raj, at least not outside the United Kingdom. Within the UK perhaps it will still count for something.

And that's a great Bob Brister quote. That guy may have forgotten more about shotguns than most of us will ever know. And he sure wrote well (even when the blood alcohol content was a bit elevated, which wasn't unusual). He was no skeptic of things British (the A in the BAC would have been Chivas), and I'm sure his jab at snooty gunroom clerks was friendly. But it does allude to an uncomfortable truth. Things have gotten a bit checkered.
