HDAV Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) My guess stock disposal from a shop flooded earlier in the year plenty of places were under water for a couple of days back in Feb, (seems an awfully long time ago) possible a gun shop was flooded? Locked up under water for a couple of weeks? Edited May 18, 2020 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Perhaps Holts have the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impala59 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 For what it’s worth, I have bought a fair few lower priced guns from Holts and have not had a duffer yet. Unfortunately the pictures tend not to be complete in their catalogues, but they are a reputation based business and the descriptions are , in my experience, accurate. I hope if the OP goes for one it is a bargain and serviceable/easily repairable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy91 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I think that Ithaca was offered up last time round aswell. Wouldn't mind it myself to be honest 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impala59 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 One has no safety catch (or spring and detent pin) but both look ok, priced higher than most pumps (as always) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impala59 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 As an aside, if I don’t get these two🤪😀, I can make a left or right handed (or even ambidextrous) safety with pin and spring for the M37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
