Bit like my Dumoulin at Holts a couple of weeks ago which sold for £4800, they built it to see if they could compete on a "mass produced" double with Heym and Merkel, they used a Browning B25 action (dunno what that cost them) but barrels and regulating for the .470 come in about £5000, they had it in storage for a while, tried to sell it at Holts with a £6000 reserve, it failed to sell, I got in touch with someone in the trade who told me they would unload it for £5000. I agreed to £5000 if they put double triggers on it (previously a single inertia trigger, not a good idea on a DG rifle !) which they did. Why a converted 10 bore shotgun should sell for that money I have no idea ?
