enfieldspares Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 They were the premium end of the Eley product range whereas the Grand Prix was actually the low end of the range. The cheapest of their catalogue yet nowadays people ascribe to it a quality that it never would have been merited back when the Gastight and etc. were produced.

Dave at kelton Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 I have an unopened box in 10 bore and a part box for a 2 5/8” hammergun I bought. I fired a few then held them back, loading my own. The smell of a fired case would make you high 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agriv8 Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 I have some old eleys in 12 and 16 bore both have a smell that instantly take me back 50 to being stood next my grandad ! the associated wet Labrador in musty Land Rover and him smoking his cherry tobacco in his pipe. Happy days that still make me smile! Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
