    Fantastic. More patience than I would have.

    Forget the product, look at the craftsmanship.

    Great post. I hate to think what one of those sells for. ...edit: Wiki suggests around 60,000 pounds ($AU 160,000) with a 2-3 year wait...

    Probably!?! Probably more than a top line BMW! That is an amazing video, thanks for posting the link Schtoo. It's wonderful to know that craftspeople are still trained to do that sort of work by hand.

    Cheers,

    Anyone reading this should sit down with a cuppa and watch this..(it's long, but worth it)
    Absolutely outstanding craftmanship.
    Attention to detail bought to a new level by these people, the skill and dedication is awe-inspiring

    Thanks Schtoo

    At about 300,000 bucks (131,000 pounds) I'l take a Royal Double Rifle.

    I'm not really into guns but what an absolute work of art. Thanks for the link.
