Purdey is introducing a new, lower-priced O/U. This gun is is being delivered in-the-white to them by P&V.

Purdey will then complete these guns in the UK to their standards.

This O/U is a boxlock and it is not replacing their sidelock O/Us.

As far as I know, Purdey's SxSs and sidelock O/Us are still being made in the UK by Purdey's people.

Asprey was outsourcing their guns to independent guys in the trade. So while Asprey has stopped having guns made, the freelance gunmakers are still producing work.
