Rimfireboy Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 When I'm travelling around the country I always try to seek out any gun shops in the area I'm staying. I most like the old style little gun shops. Found a nice one just on the way out of Exeter the other year. It's got two rooms but can't remember the name of it. Friendly chap with a goaty beard was serving if I remember right. I also like belper tackle and Neville's. I like to have a look, might see something I like. Anyone else know of any shops that are worth seeking out for the experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Malmo near Garstang is the best shop I have come across. Tim McAvoy at Standish and Bamfords at Eccleston are first rate. I also think highly of Jim Nevilles at Alfreton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaserF3 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I don't go to many shops but as Gordon says Malmo's are very good to deal with and I like their attitude to customers, but Rosie will dress little Flo like a monkey Poor little girl is going to look like a bunny at Easter, if her mum can find her an outfit. Malmo will shortly be introducing a new range of cartridges soon, hopefully they will be priced competitively too The teas not bad as well.

pegasus bridge Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 it doesnt have a shop anymore - just a workshop - but if you are ever birmingham, Benjamin Wild & Sons is well worth a visit. old victorian building, up some narrow steps and into a workshop that i would imagine looks the same as it did 100 years ago, very friendly people, smells divine!

labstaff Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I like Nevilles too, but I've had good deals at Melbourne Tackle and Gun and it was really good service too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chr15j Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Barn shop near wimpole near Cambridge is good, that's where I bought my CZ! Simpsons of Newmarket is also good! If your out in the fens, there is one near match worth a look too! For shotgunning etc, churchills of Dereham is pretty good The country store in sawston near Cambridge is also pretty good, if a little small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Fenland Rural Sports in Warbouys is well worth a visit. Bit like a charity shop in appearance but a gold mine of a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloggs Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 I haven't actually visited the shop but as I've said in another thread the service from Kelbrook Lodge is first class Closer to home, Philip Webster offers an excellent service too and his prices are very keen indeedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedd-wyn Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Penrhyn Guns, Penrhyndeudraeth, not really a store, more of a living room really but you're guaranteed a good crack with the owner who's 70 and always happy to give advice.
