Bramble,
Well, I sure didn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers and I never intended to do any "scaremongering".
If you are a professional that bills out at £75.00 PH and you put 100 hours into a conversion then, obviously, your conversions are not the type I was referring to. Regarding "cheap conversions": I still stand by what I said about them. There are many people out there that think you can just solder some sleeves into shotgun barrels, install rifle sights, and thereby magically convert a shotgun into a rifle. My hat is off to you for doing it the proper way.
For what it's worth, £75.00 for 100 hours is about $15,000US. Add that to the cost of a suitable shotgun to build the rifle on and you have enough in the USA to buy a "factory made" double rifle on the used market. You can even pick up some new Euro double rifles for less than that.
