Kempton park militaria and air gun fair

[gingernut]

Well done Pete.
I have told our three local RFDs and no doubt the usual suspects from our area will attend.
Good choice of date and venue.

[Binners]

Just been asked about the type of guns allowed to be sold by RFD and Private sellers. Basically any sub 12 ft/lb air rifle (6ft/lb pistol) are fine. No section 1 or 2 firearms, but obsolete ammo or certificated de-act guns are fine, same as at many other fairs.

Bayonets and alike will be amongst the Militaria stands too

Nice, 15 mins from me...

I had a car like that once

Bit further than Bisley for me and so close to Sister in Law that Mrs Gingernut might demand a lift.
Any tips on hiding recently purchased airguns in a modest size vehicle?

Personally I think the lack of section 1 firearms is a big problem for the fair and would prevent me driving nearly 300 miles to go there.
Maybe a second event at Wetherby racecourse would be worth consideration?
BTW I used to take a table at the Bisley shows selling cast boolits but gave up die to the costs involved - I know Pukka Bundhooks also quit the shows for the same reason.

Have you ever thought about moving South and selling pellets

Perhaps you ought to TELL the Chief Exec of the NRA why you stopped coming --- if you read his page in the current NRA Journal you would think that everyone was happy --- and (just a coincidence?) when he quoted MY complaint he "forgot" to add the VAT -- so £200 per table was actually £240 -- and most small dealers are not VAT registered!
He actually told me that "as I was not happy he was instructing the Commercial Manager to take my name off the list" .... NICE!

Hopefully with Surrey Police's positive attitude the next fair might have s.1 and s.2?

Wedge long strips of silver/grey plumbers pipe insulating foam across the inside of all your car's doorways. Then once you've done your 'shopping' at Binner's Bash, wrap your contraband in the sponge foam tubes and replace in all the car's door ways, and tell your good lady as you set off from home that the tubes (empty at this point unless you are carrying 'trades' to sell/swap) are roll-bars for extra safety for when driving among all them heathen nutters on the M25 darrrrn sarrrrf, like. Simples.

Hello Pete,

Not sure if there will be an Arms Fair associated with the Phoenix in May or Imperial meeting at Bisley in July, but either way this will fit nicely in between.

Hope to see you there if not before.

Brian

just don't watch 'Day of the Jackal' (Edward Fox version) beforehand or she'll have you in Qwik Fit for a new exhaust

No problem Patrick, let me take them for you, and let you have them at the next Bisley.

[gingernut]

I'm not as scared of Mrs G as I make out Andrew.
So I will cope.

And I need to play with new toys not give them to you to play with.
