canvasback - thank you for your input. But, again, "having guns made by the trade" is an ancient tradition, and in the modern globalized world I don't think it really matters what country the trade is in. My definition of a "British gunmaker" is a shop in Britain where you can go to and have a gun made for you. Like I said above, if I list Powell, Evans and Chirchill, so I ought to list W&S and Christian Hunter as well.
