I was told by a gunshop employee that the 1 person who was buying big bores stopped and the market is flooded (Giles Marriott have 72!) I did watch the live auction and few of the big bores even got a bid, which may mean bargains for someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave at kelton Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 They don’t seem to be selling and prices are down at least 50% if those are anything to go by. There are some bargains there if they are as good as they look. A lot have come to the market over the last couple of years and one big buyer has pulled out and has been selling his enormous collection. May also be the fear of losing lead but as wildfowling guns that shouldn’t be an issue. Bismuth is fine and you don’t fire many shots anyway.
