As per the title. Must be perfect and in original spec.

Enjoy the experience. That's the one from Park Street isn't it?

Permanent I wonder?

Try a few gunsmiths. They are always replacing those pads with a kick-eez or something similar and they usually get chucked in a box.

B25's take a bit more looking after than the modern 425/525's but they are a world apart when it comes to handling and balance. The bores will go orange in the time it takes for you to get home after shooting but its nothing to be concerned about. You can buy a reasonable B2G for £2k and it would be a pleasure to own and shoot.

Coombe Farm Sporting have one for sale for £95. Tel 01460 279595

Daffies are out here in Somerset - but it most definitely is not Spring!

Guntrader are going to have to get their act together very quickly. The UK gun trade depends on this site for sales, stock control and as a 'front' to their business. The current situation is unacceptable and I expect their phone lines are glowing red!

I agree with all of the above. At first sight it looks good but navigation around the various categories is a nightmare. How do you find gunshops in any specific area if you don't have the postcode? A backwards step I'm afraid.

Hull High Pheasant 30g in 5 shot. Lovely and smooth

You have a PM

It's all relative. There's a brilliant AYA No3 for sale on here for £150. If you had scratched and saved to buy that, your SO6 would seem like the ultimate, unattainable gun.

This is a ridiculously cheap gun!

Walking with an SO10? You must be joking. If I had one I would be carried everywhere and fed peeled grapes by dark eyed maidens!

I don't have extravagant tastes but a Beretta SO10 would be a joy to own.

Yes they are. Loads on Guntrader.

We have fruit cake with cheese - has to be Wensleydale. Might have Lancashire but only as a last resort.

Braised lambs liver and onions with tinned peaches. Sounds weird but it works!

Looks fantastic! I'm starving!

What is being described above is common amongst all sorts of retailers not just shooting businesses. The bad ones appear to have no customer empathy and as a rule of thumb, they are almost all one-man-bands, sometimes ‘lifestyle’ businesses with no great incentive to make a profit. The better ones are usually busy most of the week and understand their customers needs very clearly. They are driven by the need to make a profit - but not regardless of common sense and always with an eye on future business. It should be a pleasure to buy from a retailer who understands his business and his customers.

They were responsible for loads of fires in hay/straw stacks over the years!

What you experienced is not uncommon with Boots. The whole business has the smell of death on it and I wouldn't be surprised if it vanished before too long.
