"Just off with a load of cash to visit someone I've met on the internet" Despite my instructor telling me that pump action shotguns are only for poor people and bank robbers I was looking for a cheap pump action 12g and managed to score 8 out if ten on my last purchase. Not a bad morning, always feel a little worried that I am visiting an unfamiliar area with cash but have always been ok, in the past I had a possible scary moment when 4 blokes in a transit turned up to meet me in a deserted car park one morning but they turned out to be genuine and on route to a construction job when I was selling a Ratcatcher. My score system is: 1 point for within 45 min drive to view.(Prefer face to face) 2 points for item matching description not a rusty pile of **** or having driven to a shop , been told "Just sold it mate" 1 point for buying from a home and not a badly lit car park / lay by. 1 point for offer of cup of tea/ coffee/ au pair (you never know) 1 point for friendly chat about guns history. 1 point for being worth more than I am paying.(Did point this out at the time but he just wanted to get rid and have cabinet space). 1 point for not stabbing me, mugging me and running off with my hand full of fivers. Anyone else have a positive / negative shopping day? 10/10 would be cartridges/ extra chokes/ shiny things or a gun slip chucked in with purchase and offer of a meet at a clay ground to try gun out with a bacon sandwich.
