tinbum71 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have my SGC arriving soon, and I would love to buy a couple of 2nd hand guns. The problem is that everyone appears to be a squillion miles away! I'm after a good 12b, preferably semi or pump, but frankly I would consider anything if it's the right price cos the missus wants a double for clays. I also want a cheap .410 WHY? If anyone lives reasonably close and is considering selling, let me know! FYI I have posted this in the Wanted section, but have duplicated it here for maximum exposure. Sorry if this upsets anyone!

scout Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) Hi The Gun Rooms at Ivybridge, (just over the water in Plymouth) are very good. I found them full of useful advice and a reasonable range. regards Scout Edited March 8, 2008 by scout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinbum71 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks Sam, I have a great gunshop nearby, but they seem to start their prices from £250, when I keep seeing items such as Beretta and Browning semis on here for just over that. Also, I wouldn't want to pay new prices for a .410 when it's just for my daughter to use. I have started a previous thread regarding the Escort semi which is just £300 new, but would rather get more for my money. All and any advice welcome. As for the dealer in Ivybridge, I will take a trip as soon as the cert hits the mat to take a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Sam Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 They might do a shotgun transfer for you. I.e. buy a cheapie on guntrader and get it shipped there for £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
