Big Al Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Out through the lay by opposite Mourne Park. I didn't even know he was there! I'll be in Rostrevor next week and I'll give him a look in. Thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman1997 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yep that's it! Go up that road at the picnic area for quite a bit and he is on the right.

He not always there so i would phone first! House: 02841769705 Mobile: 07901627129 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nagantino Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Errol is a gentleman but he doesn't have a great selection of guns. He's good for cartridges though, very competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently trying to sell two guns - their replacements will be bought from England / Scotland / Wales. The last "deal" I had with an NI dealer has left a very bitter taste in my mouth. How they can repeatedly shaft such a small group of consumers is testament to our stupidity. I, for one, have had enough. I will always have time for the Newells though.

Not 7.5s - 7s Spanish style which equate to 6.5 UK. 28g. They are very effective. Let me know if you are interested and I will pm you. I'e also heardthat Tommy Beattie is selling "TB Trap" in 7.5 or 8 for £48 per carton for a limited time. They are made by hull or Gamebore or someone like that.

Cannon Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Another thread resurrection. My latest dealings with McCloys have left me feeling disappointed with the place. Eunan? is only interested in the money. They are still as pushy as ever and seem to be stuck so far up themselves that they don't even recognise their own ignorance. It's as if you've stepped into their world and if you don't play by their rules then you aren't worthy of being one of their customers. If only there was a way to take them down a peg or two. Charging people for services that they haven't even provided, and doing everything they can to avoid having to admit liability for something that was their fault. Never again will I use them.

Wb123 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 If we are resurrecting this thread I will put a plug for Hollow Farm. Cheap, always a pleasure to deal with, and always have a solution to any problem or know someone who will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Spent a bit of time in Young Guns today in Magherafelt. Must say it was a pleasure. Mervyn was very helpful and knowledgeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
