Gunman Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Seems that the doors are shut and the plant and equipment is up for sale . Another nail in the coffin for the English gun trade . Bets on whos next ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 You could be right, my only doubt was that the advert I saw for the kit stated something about upgrading to some new stuff ... so I'm not sure they're done, could be the opposite?

welshwarrior Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Bad news but must admit first I’ve heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalahari Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) We don't actually know anything yet! They could be moving and setting up a new factory or going bust.. Peo;le shouldn't talk companies down on the sort of information we have at the moment. People's jobs might be at stake. Can't we be a bit more responsible. David.

Blackpowder Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 I have seen CNC machinery and walnut blanks advertised recently. Hope it is not the end for them as they seemed to havebrought modern techniques into gunmaking. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Very nice http://www.boxallandedmiston.co.uk/gallery A great shame they've gone if the rumours are true. Couldn't find anything on the website above regarding this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of their machinery was up for auction in the latest BASC magazine, stock blanks & tables/chairs were all listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
