I assume you’re not interested then GamekeeperWales 😴

My old cabinet was too small for this and I had to break it down to store. I just cabinet knock marks doesn’t affect its shooting

Sorry bud, bottom line is listed. It’s had use, but not much. Thanks

.

Take a drive over to Countryways in West Malling. A much better shop and friendlier staff imo Greenfields have the clay ground but I find the owners arrogant and unhelpful

Plus one for going back to Stoneleigh. I haven’t been since the 1at year at the NEC - way too small and packed to enjoy it.

I’ve got a hardly used synthetic 12bore mossy in great condition. £450 in Medway, Kent.

They’ve been really quick lately. Bro in law did a variation in 2 weeks for a 30-06

I went on the Friday and we were straight in. Good start! I've only ever been to the shooting show before which I've found ok. Not been going for deals really, just like looking at the kit. I did think the game fair was a bit more, the furniture and clothing fair with some guns in a corner. It's somewhere I'd like to take the wife but this time I took the brother in law and he wasn't in the market for a handbag. I was after a 30inch SX3 but all that was available were 28" so nothing for me other than a stalking knife. Brother in law wanted an ATM X Sight HD. ATM (show price) £1100 for the full kit, extended battery and IR. We decided to have a walk around and think about it. We had a quick google on the way and the first website had the same kit at £939. I'm sure with free entry, the stand holders pay huge fees so I get that some things will be dearer but this seemed excessive. Anyway I was persisted and fair play to them they did match the price (eventually!) Anyway, it's a cracking bit of kit and for me, well worth the £940 HE spent on it.

I've got a folding .410 for £200. Plus RFD if needed Dan.

Didn't yours include Christmas tho Ben? Either way, when I did mine it was 16 weeks so definitely getting better our way! Long may it continue!

Kent have sorted themselves out too. Brother in law just got his in less than 5 weeks of them dashing the cheque. Essex on the other hand have lost my mates applicatio after banking the cheque in October. An hour and a half on the phone last week and he finally gets through to be told "I'm sorry Mr, we seem to have lost it!"

Yeah, not how I pictured him at all!

I got a nice condition Goldstar but it's FAC rated

Good shout. Cheers!

I've got two off the same guy. Bought at separate times. First one is great but the second one I bought, you can't take the keys out when it's unlocked. ,earning I have to keep the individual keys separate not on the same ring. It was an annoyance at first but I've changed my habit now so not a major issue and I have no problem with build quality.

Who's your FAO buddy?

Famous last words! Ben, how long since application, before you had your interview mate? Brother in law just out in for a ticket so wondering what the current wait is?

Given us his postcode too!

The bores are like mirrors and I have to disagree about it showing us age. Holland and Holland said it's an original parts and the barrels are 33thousand now. In 1974 when as you say it was proofed they were 34thousandths so lost 1thou in 40 years. This gun is dated 21st September 1885 is as tight as ever and shoots beautifully I'll get some more pics up later of her

Thanks Panoma that's very helpful Dan

No it's not an ejector unfortunately

I see, I did have a chat with the local gunshop who said it was only proofed for black powder but I didn't realise it had been reproofed in 79 and as you say probably failed. Gunshop said about loading my own black powder carts, I should have asked him I guess but are the components for this still fairly available? I know there's a few black powder enthusiasts on here.
