Old Boggy Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) I have just been looking through some Guntrader adverts for 16 bore shotguns (like you do !) and noticed an advert which has the gun down as a box lock ejector, a box lock non ejector and a sidelock all in the same advert. It is clearly a box lock not sidelock. Furthermore, it has the condition down as ‘scrap’ but obviously still in proof to be sold legally. I do wonder if these dealers ever read their own adverts. This is by a respectable and reputable dealer. I was thinking that the condition was a typo and shouldn’t have had the ‘S’ at the beginning. Rant over and I really should get a life.😂 Edited December 12, 2020 by Old Boggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not till your looking for a particular gun. Then you see pictures of a double trigger and they say single trigger ejector. Unsure you phone for details and they have to go and look only to be told its been sold. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I browse Guntrader and gun sales in here quite often, as I’m often asked if I know of anyone selling this or that, and find it frustrating when pictures are out of focus, or the seller doesn’t reply to an enquiry. The most recent example was a 20 bore Browning which when I was sent a photograph via email turned out to be a Beretta! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) I have just used GunWatch to try and find an air rifle for a pal at his request. The air rifle filter option doesn’t work for me so I got fed up quickly and sent a link to the first gun I found rather than the best.

Are you really looking at a picture of what you would be buying? 2. It got your attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
button Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I noticed a few traders putting customers personal details on GT, including address and phone numbers, very lax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulinlincs Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I love browsing guntrader and the like. But pointless as whenever you email the trader asking a question there is never a response. There must be soooo much money in the guntrade that there is no need to reply to customers as obviously they don't need sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methinks that the word `Scrap` was perhaps an internal note to a member of staff who put the advert in. At least they read their emails even if they don`t check their adverts initially.
