Ditch how did you conjure up brussel sprouts this time of year? Nice job I bet eating that will give you a nice gleaming coat.

Excellent ! Well done for refusing the 70+ yard pigeon on a windy day with a sub 12 ft lb gun.

Looks great Ditchy. I'm scum class, use white pepper loads as black pepper makes some sauces go a mucky looking grey colour. Local butcher I use is selling a lot of dry cured salted beef. It's nice.... very nice. If you like this i'll bring a parcel.

bruno22rf I quote " ..last ditch attempts ...." made me smile as i bought an old Mercury "S" from a lovely fella in Ipswich for not a lot of money but she was in a very average state. The stock was rough, the barrel wasn't aligned and the guts were unloved. Simon our beloved Ditchman sorted her out and I still love her , she shoots fantastic to this day after ditchy fettled her.

In the distant past bruno I think I might have bought a stutzen off you? Got to be 10 years or so ago. Good looking gun but rubbish accuracy, so I moved it on. BSA missed a trick not properly finishing their guns properly. Pic below may well be the gun we both owned and loved but moved her on.

Very good indeed !

Ditch, sorry I don't know. After the auction finished they take the catalogue down.

I've got an appointment with them tomorrow. Taking some stuff over there for the June auction as I need to thin out the cabinets.

Money! Spending it on guns etc. well worth it . My pleasure. Side by sides are so hard to even give away, i've no idea why this is the case but there you have it. A change in fashion probably. ATB marsh man.

I tried to get a few late entries in marsh man, last week. I was told they were not taking anymore but are holding another "Guns at Noon in June, such is the demand. I lived in Branston , just outside Lincoln in the mid eighties. He was a legend and a fantastic champion shot. Very well run business , always a pleasure to visit the gunshop.

Interesting....thanks for that Ditchy

Ditch , a very nice gun . I thought the side by side prices at the last auction were extremely low. I expect them to be the same this time round. I've bought quite a few guns from there, including a 16 bore SxS by T Clough of Kings Lynn, I was born in King's Lynn so simply had to buy it. T Wild are very nice especially at the kind of price you paid ! Well done.

Here is a little bit about the showroom. Horners Acle , Norfolk They hold two "Guns at Noon" auctions every year. You can bid online if you like but can turn up and wink or raise a finger if you prefer. Here's the catalogue for 13th April 2024 Sporting weapons and associated goods Auction Catalogue for April 2024 Good luck with your bids.
