Perhaps AA or a custom tuning house could purchase 100 95's from Hans and re spec them in house and re stock them to a one off run of a tidy spec' d break barrel.

The custom house or AA would still be shelling out 40k for a gamble of what kind of mark up and turn around on your outlay, marketing and investment ?

Perhaps a pipe dream but what about a pay up front bbs boinger special, if you want one sign up and pay up to a custom house 100% of the estimated final cost, they will then source the suggested spec items and assemble to the design spec, only once the final true cost has been established and final payments made would the new one off rifles be able to be owned by the new individual of the collective.

There may be a minimal run that the first supplier Hans could do so maybe 30 to make it worthwhile for the U.K. gunmaker to assemble and turn out, kinda like MG of days gone by.

This may be the only way to see a limited run of a Break Barrel anytime soon.
Well the amount of interest I didn't have when selling my custom HW95 (it's sold now) probably proves that people want other things, when ever anyone puts up a "what rifle" thread, instantly you get HW99 or 95 mentioned by 80% of the replies, so I found it a little strange that there wasn't much more interest in mine considering mine was how a lot of peoples end up like, if you were to add up the total cost of getting my rifle into the tuned and customised state it was in would cost you well over £800 if you bought everything separately (not sure if a custom house could do it for less) now that sold for £270 plus post (£300 posted in the end), now yes I agree with you lot who are shaking their heads in dismay and disgust (I can actually see TonyL pulling his hair out) that I must be a bit bonkers to sell on such a lovely rifle but I have a strange way of doing things, now at the end of the day if AA did a few custom 95's that all it's going to be, it will still be a custom 95 with a fetteling from AA, no different that what V-mach, SFS or Wonky does, now all the tuning info that gets put up on here about short transfer ports and short stroking etc, AA would have to produce a rifle with all of those things perfectly (to not get any criticism from Jon Budd) now if they do that with a bought in 95 then it will still have the same specs as a 95 (unless they really go the full hog and reduce the length of the transfer port and make proper pistons to get the right swept volume but that cost a lot of time and money), what ever gets made needs to be made from scratch with everything designed in on the drawing board.
