Glenlivet Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Visited wabbitbosher's yesterday to have a look at some English SBSs to buy as a restoration project. Came away with TWO guns, an Arthur B Williams with a nicely yacht varnished stock (😢) and a Midland Gun Company ejector which I left with him for a minor fettle before I start work on it. Felt like a kid in a toy shop when I saw his workshop, spoilt for choice wasn't in it!  Now need a new cabinet, I can envisage further trips to the toy shop.....  Great to meet you Mick, thanks for your time and patience! See you at the Shooting Show next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 yes shame he is to far for me, or i would come away with a few guns, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblies Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 My cabinet is full of bosher bargains, well worth the trip. I too have a resto project from Mick so best of luck with it. I've not started yet but plan to keep it simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenlivet Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Shot a few clays with the Williams this morning. The good news; it didn't explode, everything that was supposed to go bang did, I hit a few with it. The bad news; brain doesn't yet compute auto safety/ double triggers, the different fit/style completely stuffed up my skeet with the Guerini.

I'll practise on this one 🤔 and also keep it simple! Edited January 30, 2016 by Glenlivet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenlivet Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 In the process of buying the much larger cabinet although I think he's feeling guilty as he's stopped replying to my pms! Also heard of a gun shop in Leek which apparently has a glut of old SBSs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
