Patience in all things, Red…
Do I like it that A-O, when it was still based in West Hurley, advised that its Models 1911 were "Made In America" (big yellow sticker on the plastic gun case) when in fact the slides and frames were investment cast in Spain. A-O's hedge was that they were, at that time, machined in Vermont and assembled in New York. I pulled their pants down about it, and they went right on doing it.
Not all shotguns manufactured in Italy are top-line, "Old World" sporting pieces… one of the worst POS smoothbores I've ever seen, marketed here as, among other things, the Sile single shot, came straight out of the Brescia Valley. Sucker regularly discharged upon opening the action if the line was called and our friend the Ol' Sarge was still armed. (We all learned a great deal about the value of Cooper's Codified Four Rules of Firearms Safety back then, and the biggest hit anyone ever took was Ol' Sarge had to pick up a couple of laundry bills.)
And I've seen some fine pieces, certainly knock-offs of Italian designs, come out of everywhere from Spain to the former Yugoslavia. (I won't mention Japan, because that's not the opprobrius connotation it once was.… the Philipines and mainland China are another story.)
So no, in answer to your original inquiry, I don't like misrepresentation of any sort. Flying false colors is bad form in any business or discipline. Which neatly segues into…
In regards "your site," pretty professional-looking for a retired 'smith cum wood-butcher. What's up?
