J.L.S ARMS (wednesbury)....airgun catalogue

[markH]

I used to deal with them in the early 80s (I worked at Parker Hale). The head honcho was a guy called John Scoltock (presumably John L. Scoltock hence the JLS). I seem to remember the address was Scoltock house, so presumably the property was in the family.

They're still going, importing firearms, knives, scopes and similar. I think they run a shooting club too. Have a google!

JLS are still very active i am a member of the Wednesbury Marksmen club, there is a 25m range in the building and they shoot at least once a month on MOD ranges. The airgun shop is upstairs.
Its an excellent club and both shops are well stocked for airgunners and FAC holders.
Not been down for a few week as i live in Barnsley, if you live in the area its worth having a look.

Hi,

Its now at perry street wednesbury, i believe they import firearms for the police forces, i remeber seing a spread some time ago, i also remeber reading the founder John Scoltock passed away a year or so ago.

I traded in my brand new vulcan deluxe and brand new tempest in 1985, to buy my then girlfriend (now wife) a ring!!! i got 70 pounds .

The used to have a small shop on the corner, and yes i remeber there catalogue was fantastic, if anyone has one i would buy it!!!

Very Helpful Guys, and nive memories of going after school and looking on their window!!!
