Gordon R Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Went to Blackpool Clay Club this morning with Ollie - a friend of my regular shooting mates - Mark. He has only recently got his licence and bought two guns off me within a couple of days of his licence arriving. He wanted a look at a gun shop, as he had never been inside one. He mentioned Bamfords at Eccleston, but I said we are going to Malmo Guns, Anyon Barn. It must be two years since I set foot in the place and I was astonished at the change. Still got a mega range of shotguns, but the layout was almost totally different. From the toilet being next door to the shop, it has now moved inside. The clothing department was probably three or four times the size of my last visit. Other things hadn't changed. Same friendly welcome from Bryan and Rosie Prest. Whilst I didn't visit to buy a gun, nor did I, I did buy a thousand shells - Cheddite fibre wads, at the cheapest price around. £9 cheaper than Fiocchi from a rival establishment - which aren't in the same league as Cheddite. I know Scully is a big Malmo fan - rightly so. Still the best gun shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Coincidentally I recently (this last week) bought a 20 bore Lincoln Jubilee from Malmo Guns and was most impressed by the prompt attention that I received from Rosie to all my questions about the gun. Not only that, she dealt with the transfer of the gun very quickly and efficiently keeping me well informed of the progress. This is the first time that I’ve dealt with them so it’s a big from me.

benbobailey Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Yes, Bryan and Rosie and all staff are always very pleasant and helpful. Fantastic selection and reasonable to deal with. Always a pleasure to visit. They are a super follow on from MALcolm & MOreen, from the original smaller store. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycf Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Nothing but praise for Rosie, Bryan and all the staff they are excellent and in my case well worth the 260 mile round trip 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supatex Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Never been to malmo guns but they can't be bothered to answer my emails, also they are supposed to be the UK distributer of Cheddite cartridges but they don't seem to want to send them to other gun shops. No praise from me I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No praise from me I'm afraid. That's disappointing and also surprising.Personally, I would be inclined to phone ask for explanation if I wished clarification. It may be an oversight or mix up. Or poor service, which is unusual. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never used them before but have nothing but praise for them. They (Rosie) answered my emails and phone calls immediately and kept me fully informed of the progress of the transfer of the gun that I recently purchased from them. Even before that Rosie answered all of my copious questions regarding the gun and made sure after purchase that I was 100% happy, which of course I was. Great service.

No praise from me I'm afraid. They ALWAYS answer my emails, and I know of another store that stocks/sells the Cheddite cartridges. It is a drive of over an hour for me to go to Malmo Guns, but it is my FIRST port of call when looking for a gun. They are, in my view, the number 1 gunshop in the North West, and I have visited them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can second that Westley, I have purchased my last three guns from Brian and always left there well chuffed. After service excellent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 I have taken all of the people that I have taught how to shoot, to Malmo. Simply because I know they will be well looked after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshooter Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Malmo are a great shop. Going north to shoot / stalk we always call in at Malmo. Going north to fish we always call in at John Norris ( of Penrith ). Salmo ( on here ) suggested Malmo and I have never looked back ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supatex Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 I am not saying they aren't a great shop. What I am saying is that if you send an email, ( which I have done on numerous occasions ), asking for information, not asking to buy, they don't answer. Also on 3 occasions at 3 separate gun shops, I have asked if they can get cheddite cartridges from malmo guns they have all come up with the similar answer, ie, they are unreliable at supplying them and we keep having to let down customers who have asked for them. Now I can't accuse these gun shops of lying , I'm just reporting what I've been told. Wesley can you tell me who the other gun shop is who sell cheddite cartridges, plenty of shops advertise them, but never have any, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 20 Author Report Share Posted August 20 Perhaps you would care to name the shops which describe Malmo as unreliable. It is a slur on Malmo's excellent reputation, whilst rival gun shops are afforded anonymity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't impressed with the cartridges , therefore I haven't enquired if they still supply them. Westlands are a bit erratic/ unreliable as to cartridge choice, although they usually have a reasonable choice. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianWildfowler Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 I can't fault Malmo. Pleasure to deal with. Outside of what stock they have or haven't got they radiate professionalism either in person, email or on the phone. And I use other gun shops for all kinds of things but Malmo are great.

supatex Posted August 21 Report Share Posted August 21 I'll do it privately if you want to contact me. But the next time you go to Malmo guns ask them who they supply to in Yorkshire please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
