Scully Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Had a run down today. I love this shop! Well being a gun nut, any good gun shop really, but over the years I’ve spent a small fortune in this shop and always enjoy going. Hadn’t been for a while but was looking for a gun for a mate, and as another mate was going thought I’d tag along. Apart from the usual Berettas and Brownings ( unusually I didn’t find a single Winchester 101 ) were a few very nice secondhand Miroku Mk38’s and 3800’s, a couple of nice B25’s, a very nice Perazzi 2000, a nice high rib ( but not ridiculously high ) Blaser F3 and a an excruciatingly gorgeous black actioned Krieghoff K80 trap gun. Have bin down the back of the sofa but came up well short of the asking price ( a biro and a hair grip aren’t gonna do it ) so I’ll have to go on dreaming! 😢 I didn’t find a gun for mate but other mate found one for himself and came home with a very very nice Gd5 Miroku. Well worth a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen most of his collection, and even sold him one! 9 minutes ago, grahamch said: Great shop and a look in the cartridge store is a treat if you can wangle it! Indeed. We were in there today for a brief spell as mate buys cartridges by the barrow load! One of my favourite places is the ‘aladdins cave/bargain basement’ but have only had access to it once. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth a visit. Did you not tell your mate about a Winchester Grand European for sale on here ? 😉 Have to agree about Malmo, I rarely go to any other gun shop.

He’s had some quite high end guns but sells them and goes back to Baikel. 🤷♂️ He doesn’t miss much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) A certain top spaniel man who has shot with Royalty, uses the same well known manufacturer. His Father left him some lovely guns, including Purdey's, but he still uses the Baikal. He doesn't miss much either !

Never been offered one, not even when I bought a s/h Perazzi! Have had loads of coffees at Lakeland Guns, courtesy of Ian, but I’ve spent an even bigger small fortune there! Sadly missed.

I'll try to put in a good word for you but not many get a brew 🤔 If I'm ignored I go and make one myself but they never have sweetners but I keep some in my car.

benbobailey Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Yes, Bryan and Co run a friendly, well stocked business. Always a pleasure to visit whether a deal can be struck or not. I was a customer at the original Malmo guns ran by Malcom and Mo, at the smaller original premises, but every bit a pleasure to deal with as well.

steve1066 Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 I can also confirm the fairness of Bryan and Malmo, I had a couple of blemishes appear on a shotgun that I had purchased from Bryan 3 years earlier and although Browning said that it was nothing to worry about, Bryan didn’t agree and offered me a full refund. I kept the gun because the blemishes really didn’t worry me I just wanted a second opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 18, 2023 Report Share Posted November 18, 2023 Bought quite a few guns there. Bryan and Rosie - dead straight and a pleasure to deal with. I used to think they had few secondhand guns - mainly new. Then I was shown the second room - full of bargains. I have never found a better shop to deal with and I have been in many.

You will get a better deal off Bryan rather than Rosie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Only done the one deal with Rosie. She did say to me that people thought she drove a hard bargain, but I have to say she was dead straight and I got a fair deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
