Hey CanAm, could you make this?

you have it all wrong Canada ammo you're willing to give the Chinese money for the cool 12 inch Norinco shotguns when Canada should be manufacturing firearms for Canadians. it would help a lot of machinist in the Canadian job market. and I think it would be the ultimate survival / backpacker shotgun. and remember you can't bring an ar15 with you camping or hunting but you can bring a shotgun what has way more practical uses there for a wider market.

A repro would cost more than an original if Canadian machinists built it. There's a reason everything is made in China.

When people say that, they dont understand that the price will sky rocket and it wouldnt even be cost effective for a "for profit" biz to do that.
 
WOW!!
Beauty,eh!
While a replica of this Burgess might be cost prohibitive and not feasible to undertake,I would think that the folding concept would be "relatively" inexpensive to design and produce an O/U version that might do well in the survival/bear defence/birds in the pot for the big game hunter market?
I think one of the biggest challenges might be getting it approved as NR with in its sub 26"OAL folded configuration?
On the other hand,if it's designed to be inoperable when folded....??
Wouldn't that make it no more of a concealed weapon then any other existing takedown design??
I WOULD BUY ONE(at least one,more likely one each in 12ga and .410?)...MAKE IT SO!!

Canada Ammo is more than happy to spend his money in Canada, however the shotguns will probably end up costing exactly the same price, if not higher than the originals they were copied from, that just doesn't make any business sense.

The original is 13,000-19,000 usd. Neat firearm I don't think it would cost that much to make it would cost allot to figure out how to make it but the actual cost to make the firearm wouldn't be that high. It's the tooling and design that eats the money. It's all about how many they can make how much it costs and how much to set it up. I don't see it happening due to the cost of setting it all up plus finding a firearm to copy then figuring out how to copy it. It's a simple effective design though.

So your saying there is no factory in China that could do something like this?

Correct. No factory would take the job, as they are moving away from the fiddly jobs.

Also, getting a gun to China is nearly impossible. And we'd need to find one
