Imperdix,
That is a very cruel and inaccurate comment!
Most of the British Guntrade did have factories or workshops , but of course it is a product that relied on the skills of many outworkers if you happened to be a small manufacturer.William Evans should be congratulated on being able to open the wallets of many gullible individuals. Some years ago I loaded for an American who kept his gun at William Evans in London to save flying it back and forth . William Evans Ltd looked after his guns and needs . The Gent shot extremely well on very high Welsh Pheasants despite his gun not having any multichokes fitted because William Evans had forgot to fit them.
