OvEr_KiLL Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) well if it helps my first gun i traveled 3h after seeing pictures on the net and the one i have now in my sig i traveled 2h without seeing pictures both were in good condition Edited March 19, 2013 by OvEr_KiLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Avalon can be great but my advice would be either get it sent "on approval" to local RFD, ideally one with a facility to shoot the gun, or take the day to visit. They are right near a big outlet shopping centre in Street, take the missus and make a day of it! I drove from Cardiff to Rugby to buy my 525 (twice!) As its probably a 4 hour drive make aweekend of it and perhaps drop into http://www.greenfieldguns.com/used_shotguns.php on the way past. They have 2 on their website also.

Ah, in that case be very very careful buying a a cast specific gun Avalon sold a right handed member here a cast on gun............... Give "the Gun shop Rugby" a call the owner is a left hander and they generally carry a few more Cast on guns than other dealers (hence why i went there for mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive bought a few things from there before and they seem friendly enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
