      Here are pictures of the actual finished custom side by side double rifle sent to me by Jean Verney-Carron of L'Atelier Verney-Carron in Saint-Etienne, France, makers of fine and custom firearms. Verney-Carron is France's oldest hunting gun maker and one of the oldest in the world with roots in the gun trade going back to 1650.

      Very nicely done! A lot of folks find fault with French arms but they are sadly mistaken. The Chapius makes a very solid rifle that is accurate and well balanced. They will go the distance and are double tough. I am sure the Verney-Carron is just as well built. Congratulations on a very nice rifle!

      I'd be afraid to take out of the safe for fear I'd scratch it. Beautiful piece of work. Can you imagine the hours involved and the years of skill needed to complete that work of art? The ones at DSC this year were great also. I only wish----
