... took 17 weeks until FEO visit and another week after that. I live in Burton-Upon-Trent, Staffs so if anyone else has submitted their application in Staffordshire i'm guessing your's will be of a similar duration.
Now, onto more important matters, buying my first gun.
I understand based on my budget of around £600 + sundries that i'm either looking at a new Lanber, Bettinsoli etc or a secondhand Browning or Miroku etc. Now, i'd rather not lose alot of money from a new gun but then again i've not seen any Browning or Miroku of good quality for that price. Am I looking in the right places? I don't mind getting the car and travelling 30-40 miles to go get a quality gun so my question is not what I should buy, as I think i've worked that out for myself. But rather where are the best places to shop for guns? I've tried the local area, e.g. Doverridge @ Derby, Nevilles @ Alfreton & a place just down the road in Tamworth. Does anyone know of any good places for quality guns around here?
Many thanks.
