TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 When you get hold of them ask for Matt, he is very knowledgeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I don’t know his brother, but have dealt with Marcus over many years. Great bloke. He even makes house calls! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never for a moment thought you were. 👍 I first met Marcus at a game fair where I bought a rifle from him, back in the days it was Bradshaws, which I sold back to him when I bought my Benelli off him about 18 months ago. I just wish they were closer as he’s great to deal with, and if his brother is a decent ‘smith to boot, then you’re very fortunate having them on your doorstep. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't go as far back as the original Bradshaw's at the mill? John was a great character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
