Very interesting to read all this and see what can be done with a very cheap auction find Was the rust easy to remove without damaging the metal?

And they're out of stock at that price! Cotton wool?

After much deliberation and with some reluctance, we have taken the very difficult decision to retire. Whilst not averse to selling the business for the right price, we have not advertised it for sale. We feel probably the easiest route for us is to simply sell up the stock we currently have at discounted prices and then close the doors.

I came away with 2 some years ago

Very nice indeed

I've still got a Match Aerial my dad bought me aged 11 second-hand from a retiring miner over 50 years ago, 1 drop of gun oil on the spindle keeps it spinning I tried the Wallis cast a couple of times and got into a birds nest. Alan Roe a fellow member of a fishing club teaches it so I'm hoping to learn from him - he has a YouTube video

Very nice! 29" barrels?

Thanks for the replies I gave permission for the gun to go from the original dealer to the person I trusted, setting-up on his own - he said he could sell English Guns to his clients more readily He sold - only letting me know afrer I'd chased him a few times and I then had to chase him for his RFD details I let the Met know as soon as I knew it was sold (without the seller's RFD details) then followed-up with the RFD details K

Received as private individual, emails are to him, RFD details -which I had to chase up - are in the name of a company So gun taken for sale as a person I trusted, he is then director of a company, company sells the gun Lots of emails/whatsapp, most recently "waiting for a customer to pay, latest Friday" that was 3 weeks ago

The gun was with a dealer on SOR, their employee set up on his own and agreed to sell the gun for me, I trusted him and didn't kniow of the limited entity

I think it would have to be against the company which apparently has no money, though the £1000 came from him personally

All Advice needed please Through what I took to be a trusted person I sold a gun SOR in October for £3000 Since then, after repeated phone calls and assurances of payment I've had £1000 (by Revolut) only after a local (to him, -50 miles from me) chased him repeatedly and I got that only in January I was dealing with a person but in fact it's a limited entity and accounts show it's in trouble so no point taking legal action Should I contact or tell him I'm contacting his FEO and advise of dishonesty which is a reason for renewal of license renewal? This would presumably be a serious step I've bought and sold a few guns when this person was based at a ground/shop and never had problems He's plainly got into trouble on his own Thanks Kevin (I've had money problems before with a gamekeeper/car dealer near Newbury)

The Woodward shown in my sign in was bought as 1 of 3 by Charles Napier Sturt in 1882, likely as a 50th birthday present to himself, the poor sod died in 1886 I do like using it

Very nice indeed

21gm Comp X are great
