eddoakley Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 I have quite a few (20+) single barrel 12 bore shotguns. Baikal, bsa, coey, argyle.....a mixed lot. Various lengths of barrel and pull, various chokes and various condition but all sounds. FREE to any members that can make use of them. Collection only. Np44 1dl. Drop me a message if you'd like to arrange to collect one. Might find a few slips too. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPGUN749 Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Very nice offer! When I was 15, offers like that weren’t available,even single barrels had a reasonable value,I had to pay £13 for a second hand BSA Snipe in 1972, (equivalent to £250 today)my first shotgun at 15,today hardly anyone wants a single.

The guide price for a BSA Snipe in the Holts auction of unsold lots is currently £5-10. There are 3 of them I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just one big safe, Mel? I've thought about the 14-20 gun ones many times, but would be too heavy to get it upstairs when I would want to put it.

I've already got a nine gun safe with about twelve guns in there , and a five gun safe with about seven guns in there 😊. If I fitted another safe , it would have to be visible .

The problem is that lin and myself have way too much stuff , and the house and garden just aren't big enough . We have the normal day to day living stuff , then her business stuff , then hobby stuff , then woodland stuff.

My attic is full of all bits and pieces, a lot of it shooting related stuff - camo nets, decoys, clay pigeon trap etc etc. I'm thinking of getting another garden shed to keep them in.

My garden is 90 feet long , and even that's full. I have , two wood stores , my workshop , lins workshop, and my lads fishing tackle shed. Even the drive at the side and front of the house is filled with logs . It's like living in a new age traveller camp. The problem is that I get involved in so many projects , that I need everything that I collect . I had a trailer load of old wood from nev , it took me a few days to sort through it and denail it all , but I've used every bit of it , and at today's wood prices , it's probably saved me close to 2k , and even more than that if you think of the things I've used it for. I'm about to build a storage shed up at the woodland. At least I'll be able to get rid of some of the stuff out of my garden( including the wood and posts that I'm using to make the shed).

Hopefully, one weekend during August, we'll be able to pop up to your woodland and meet up with you both. I've got a 'few' .22lr rounds that need firing!
