Georgy Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Nelson street and Coopers have both closed within a week of each other. Nearest alternatives are Taverham, North Walsham, Wymondham or Attleborough AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_jay Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Maybe a "norfolk cartridge" thread would be in order, if we posted what price, what cartridges and where from it would give us an idea where to part with our hard earned ?

No difference buying 1 or 100 boxes I got 250 Hull pro sport in fibre from taverham last week, they were £50.75, the comp x were £44 i think, pretty sure there was nothing cheaper apart from 21grm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Been told there is a strong chance Frank is going to take on the shop I've heard this too, but I dont want to start rumours. I paid £44.36 for 250 Kent Velocity at North Walsham ...But its probably best not to keep posting prices as im sure the prices can fluctuate regulary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I hope frank carries on . We dont want to lose one of the only proper gunsmiths we have locally . Frank is a loverly man and a dammed good shot as well . He is the same age as me and I asked him when he was going to retire and he said that he would never retire and he would be found dead at his bench . Lets hope he do's take the shop on . Harnser .

He just needs a rifle man in there, IMO of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
