Cumbrian Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I hope it is permissible to give a brief plug for a particular gun and gun shop. I have just returned from an enjoyable visit to Michael Price and his gun shop, Heritage Guns, Shaftesbury, where I purchased a Winchester 5500 in really good condition. Michael specialises in Winchesters, if he can get hold of them, but he has a wide range of other shotguns, including some unusual ones (see his website, not always updated however!), and his prices are very fair, I think, especially as he looks for guns in outstanding condition in and from odd corners. It is the nicest small gun shop that I have found and Michael is a very good person to deal with and have a chat with. (I should add that what I have written is simply my own disinterested and unsolicited opinion.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Not sure this permitted. Basically advertising a gun, but not on Gunwatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 If the moderators object, I'd be happy to edit my post to leave out details of the particular gun. I believe that I have read opinions about actual gun shops here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have edited your post, Whilst we don't mind people saying they have had a good deal or experience at particular shops. We have to draw the line at advertising their guns for them. Sounds like a nice place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Had a gander but couldn't find any mention of Winchesters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I emailed for more pics but got nothing back...prime dealer for GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Had a gander but couldn't find any mention of Winchesters. I am very surprised. Did you get the other Heritage Guns, perhaps? They deal only in old side by sides, mostly for the US, and have as their site heritageguns.co.uk. The site for the one in Shaftesbury is heritageguns.net, which is dfferent, though confusingly similar at first glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Had a gander but couldn't find any mention of Winchesters. Click on the over and under section, some on page 1 and some on page 2. The guns on the home page are "just in" ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian Posted November 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 I emailed for more pics but got nothing back...prime dealer for GT. Yes, I am not entirely surprised. Michael is not at his best with emails or voicemail messages, I have discovered, though he will answer his mobile if he can (07854964256). He may not be good at sending more pictures either, though I have never put in such a request myself. I have heard it said that there is Greenwich Mean Time, and that there is also Dorset Time - if you get my meaning. Essential to make sure that he will be in before travelling there.

Cumbrian Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Nor a lora of good in this day and age then wack. No, I'm afraid not. It isn't too bad for me living in West Hampshire to go to Shaftesbury - apart from the pain of getting through Salisbury - but I can see that it is a different proposition for others. Still, if you happened to be passing that way ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
