Where are the best car-boot sales for airgun stuff? Or maybe you don't want to share your secrets!

A mate bought an airsporter for £40 from Flookborough last week...although I have never seen one there in 2 years of looking. Maybe its just luck?

To be fair.... I am probably the worst shot in the uk.....even with a shotgun

Normally 10-30 of all sorts ranging from Prewar to 1980's........and some sellers have had 15+plus guns plus related stuff......however, on my last time there, although I saw several single guns on various tables, one regular who I bought a nice L.J. off, told me he had been warned about regularly selling guns without a RFD......he was told to keep them "out of sight".
The local Police/Organizer attitude seems to be (at the present time of writing)......one or two guns, as part of a normal clear-out, or thinning of a collection = no problem, but turn up every sale with tables covered with them, and they will take notice.
Gates open at 7.30.......be there ready to rumble as it is a bunfight, with several "regulars" bringing gunslips ready to fill
Other boots in this area (especially near the Welsh border) are also very good, with genuine "sleepers" often seen.......
Pure luck........last time out I walked past a visible etching, 100% original BSA standard, up for grabs at £80........because the guy had it stood upright against a wardrobe, out of sight unless you went right up to his table.Originally Posted by Ulverston
A friend, who I work with, and who has just got interested in pre-war guns (he is from the Black Country, and was fascinated by the bell target info I gave him)......came in on the following Monday and told me HE had bought it....he didn't know anything about the year/model etc., just that it was a "BSA like yours, but with loads of writing on the top....patent numbers and the like

I've seen a few at the Kempton Park Motorcycle Autojumbles. A few months ago I turned down a HW35 STD needing some tlc for £70.

never see them around here although i did get chatting to a bloke at a boot sale last week who said he had a lot of 1950's-1970's springers to get rid of,he also offered me an 1866 .44 winchester rifle!
i gave him my number but i think i'll skip on the winchester.

The Winchester could be in obsolete calibre (not modern 44 Magum or 44 Special) and so not requiring a licence. Check it out!

my understanding of the antiquities clause of the firearms act is that if the calibre is still in use then the current cartridges could be adapted to fit in which case it's still fac.i had a french chassepot which was 11mm and fell under the antiquities clause as no ammunition was available or adaptable.
