Fil Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Thanks for posting. Brings back a lot of memories. This must be one of the newer films. The only ones I remember are Jason Schofield (stocker) and Alan ..... (the engraver) both absolute masters. I ran the barrel shop in the mid to late 90's and I can honestly say that barrel making has never changed. We still make barrels almost like they did a hundred years ago. I would very much love to own a new pair of Holland and Hollands. I know that the craftsmanship is still number one in all the peoples hearts who work there.

Now there was a gentleman who knew a thing or two about shotguns and had a delightful command of the english language. I still browse his books; and wish my purse was deep enough to purchase his Henry Atkin which I saw was up for sale again recently Edited December 28, 2017 by JJsDad Italics to quote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
