smokinggun Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I am having a day in Milton Keynes with the wife on Saturday and wondered if anyone could point me towards a good friendly gun shop close to centre selling carts at decent prices, i'm not looking to buy in bulk just top up some clay carts and get a few boxes of fibre ones to, also just to have a look around. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onefulham Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Donaldson's in Fenny Stratford is very good, head towards Bletchley, just by the canal Bridge there is a turning into some industrial units, it's in there, if you fancy a drink there is Pink Punters down the road, or maybe not !

Cheers for that, it'll be nice to have a look around a different gun shop, i googled the Pink Punters although i could have guessed what it was gonna be, think i'll give that one a miss, reminds me of the Blue Oyster bar from Police Academy Just looked at my last post, looks like I'm offering to meet you at Pink Punters, sorry def not what I meant !! Ah right okay i'll put my gimp suit back in the wardrobe then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 At the opposite end of Milton Keynes to Fenny Stratford is Stony Stratford where R&K Stockcraft is located. Here's their website such as it is, they don't 'do' the internet! http://www.rkstockcraft.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Donaldsons are sometimes good on price but R&K stand head and shoulders above on service, I'd highly recommend then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while you're at it have a wander round Stony, some nice shops, cracking pubs and of course Castles hardware / army surplus type emporium, if you leave there without buying something I'd be very surprised, I never have!

bruno22rf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Stoney has a couple of famous pubs-The Cock and The Bull.During the times of the stage coach travelers would stay at these Inns and be entertained by local story tellers-the more outlandish the story-the more popular the story teller became and thus the more Ale he was given.This is where the term "Cock and Bull" stories came from!

Aaz Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Couldn't agree more with the Donaldsons quotes, father and son nice enough but a bit lacking on knowledge or perhaps couldn't be bothered, which I fear is probably more accurate - I'll not be returning unless I really, really have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlistairB Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Donaldsons do a lot of business through eBay as the 'countryclothingoutlet'. Agree with everyone about R&K, i really like the service in there and rarely leave without something, but i wouldnt say they were that cheap on carts.

I don't think lack of knowledge is the problem with him, possibly apathy. However, I have to say he's always been fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
