[quoteDugaboy1: Actually, the reason they are selling it so cheaply is that they aren't regulating it. They expect you to do so. Since most of the cost in a DR is labor for regulation, $600 makes sense to me.

Robert, you are quite correct in your opinion that regulation is one decideing factor in the final cost of building of a Double Rifle. Eventhough there is a great amount of skill, and time taken regulateing a Double rifle, the real time consumer is the "layer of smoke" fitting of the barrels to the action, and the percision in the makeing of the locks, fitting, and finishing of all the steel, and wood. The way this is done, is far more important to the strigth, and quality, of a double than any other thing except the steel used, and the hardening process! The hand fitting of the action, and lock work, costs ten times what the regulation costs! Almost any good regulator will physiclly regulate a double rifle for you for $400 + ammo, check, and see what it will cost you to have a set of barrels fitted to your action!

we are talking thousands.

The reason the Biakal is so cheap is simply because it IS CHEAPLY built, and poorly fitted!
