wyatt Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Came across this in an email. Interested to know if anyone else is aware of it? http://www.hortonguns.com/#!investment-page https://www.angelsden.com/project-view/W-Horton-Gunmakers/ I've never considered investing in a scheem like this but am a little bit tempted. Not sure how they'd get on though, a few gun shops have been and gone in the centre of Birmingham.. would they stand out enough? It would be good to see a success though! Bringing more gun manufacturing back to Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 The problem in this for me is it would be nice to bring gun making back to Brum but any hand made gun that they make would be well out of most peoples price range so if people with that kind of money hanging around want a Brum made gun then let them stump up the funds to get it going.

GunQuarter Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 It's picking up week on week, although I wouldn't recommend it to restore your faith in humanity is all I can say. Just a snippet from this week that makes me want to scream... A chap emailed us from Scotland "will the Loden Green Breeks match my Jacket" (No pictures attached or detail of what the jacket was). Anyway after a bit of backwards and forwards he sent us a picture of a 20 year old Laksen coat. So we advised that a match is impossible and maybe a contrast colour would look good. Spent an hour and a half offering suggestions and delivering what we think is top notch customer service. He finally made up his mind, then it all went quiet for two days. Did a bit of a chase up and he informed us he bought them elsewhere £4.97 cheaper!! No wonder everyone who owns a gunshop is a grumpy ***!

GunQuarter Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I don't think you've read the post prperly. WE ARE OPEN. Also we try to serve everyone who shoots, we have secondhand guns from £600 and offer competitiove finance packages to help people get the gun they want. We sell semi autos and m,atch just cartridges on prices. Steve Horton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pothunter Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 We...match just cartridges on prices. Steve Horton To be fair, that's quite a modest claim. What you get with just cartridges is a huge range, and convenience (and good service). It's certainly not cheap though. Your shops sounds great, mind; though I'm scared to visit, because I'm trying to save (for a new rifle - do you sell rifles?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
