If you aren't travelling as far as Malmo, then give the shops a miss. The others are not next to the M6 and any time taken travelling to Malmo would be swallowed up getting to the others.

I have traded with the other two mentioned. Bamfords isn't the same since Laurence handed over the reins and I won't set foot in McAvoys again.

Laurence was there last time I called in.Didnt realise he had left.So it may not be as good now.Bond and Bywaters used to be good too but not been for years.

Just had a look at malmo, as im in bed dying of man flu, but they've a pro sport for £150? That cant be right? 

It’ s more than likely a demo’ and not for sale, but conditions of posting on websites often stipulate a price MUST be included. You often see demo guns priced at a quid; they’re just letting potential punters know ( and see ) what they can try out if they visit the shop.

Anybody used Fawcetts lately?   I used to drop in occasionally when they were located in the middle of Lancaster, but have never been to their new place.

I pop in now and again, much better location and free parking, massive improvement on the old place in Lancaster.

I was wondering the same. It used to be a regular haunt of mine from before the days handguns were banned, and I bought a S1 Mossberg from them in Lancaster about a month before they moved.

Good to know; really must call in.

So what's supposed to be wrong with them?

Took a Winchester 23 - to sell for the son of a friend who had died. I was told Tim McAvoy would have to value the gun. He spent about twenty minutes aimlessly wandering around the shop, before he deigned to speak to me. I paid particular attention to just what exactly he was doing and concluded he was just killing time. He seemed keen, but said there was a dent in the barrel. I asked where it was. He told me he had experience in these matters and could see it, although my eyesight clearly failed me. I also took it to Malmo and Bamfords - neither of whom detected the dent and both offered way more than McAvoys. I don't know why he kept me waiting - possibly to put pressure on me. It merely irritated me. I thought then and still do that it was shabby. I will never return.

Fair enough.
