Gun sold, SOR, payment to me only part made
kevin55 replied to kevin55's topic in General Shooting Matters
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

Gave My ( Best ) Gun Some Fresh Air Today .

It says I think B Norman, so a Suffolk gun As a left-hander I took some getting used to double triggers, which are invariably canted for a right hander Having recently acquired a single trigger (stupidly) I find I go to the trigger guard for the 2nd shot I've never knowingly selected the left barrel first, as always shoot right then left -
Peter Green for me

That's what I heard about 1 big buyer

I was told by a gunshop employee that the 1 person who was buying big bores stopped and the market is flooded (Giles Marriott have 72!) I did watch the live auction and few of the big bores even got a bid, which may mean bargains for someone

Very nice It trumps my oldest by 10 years

A1 ground Barnet is closing at the end of July, too many noise complaints I think with "continuous property development in the surrounding area"
