I wonder how many personal tales and fine memories some of these lovely old rifles could tell of?
Okay, some may have been owned by some scroaty types, with no real interest or passion of Airguns or our sport. But some may have been previously owned by caring, enthusiast owners.
For those wanting to despose of their rifles and not apply for a licence, could some body (dealer or otherwise) not offer to buy them, arrange multiple collections on the same day and bring them over here for re-distribution / re-use?
Such a sad waste.
