buze Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 We stumbled on this shop monday, it's run by an elderly couple, they are now in the process or retiring (within 12 months) but if you get a chance to visit, please do. Chap has a superb collection of SxS (I haven't spotted a single O/U int here!) -- a whole rack of AYA, and many other lovely guns. There's also a very extensive clothing room with some unusual things (and a large collection of ladies stuff). We spent a good 1.5h in there exploring, talking etc and... err. buying things. I left with some serious loot, including the best cartridge belt I've ever seen, super chuffed :-) But yes in a few months, it won't be there anymore, so if you want a nice visit to a really classy, old time style shop, with a chap who has seen it all and back again -- it's well worth the trip.

JohnfromUK Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I have visited several times, and bought a gun there many years ago. Current owners (Malcolm and Peggy(?) Carey), and before that, Malcolm's father. I forget the name of the man who did repairs - and who retired a little time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Such a shame when these shops close forever,they`re part of our rural history really and will not be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Its a fantastic shop with only superb guns. I still regret not buying a really high quality 16 bore hammer gun he had that had no name. He thought it had been made by the workers of a quality maker "after hours"!
