    Kempton park militaria and air gun fair

    Due to the sad decline of Arms Fairs at Bisley, I am pleased to announce for your 2017 diary, the first Militaria and Air Gun Fair to be held on any London Racecourse.

    This will take place on SUNDAY 25TH JUNE 2017, gates opening at 9.30am, entrance fee £4.

    Militaria, Registered Fire Arms Dealers and Private Collectors will be able to hire trade tables all under one roof.

    Kempton Park was the chosen location due to its prime position just off M3/M25, providing ample free car parking, designated railway station, ATM machines and on-site catering.

    Although the venue could never match the unique atmosphere of Bisley Camp, it will at least offer an alternative to us, the enthusiastic collector. It will be a great opportunity for those amongst us wishing to part with air guns from our 'private collection' without extortionate auction fees.

    Some of the well known regular Air Gun Traders have already signed up and should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    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.

    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

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    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?

    Kempton Big Boys

    Some great news in, Protek have just confirmed 4 tables to add to the 9 that KB and Tim D have. As far as I know, this is first for Vic if so, I feel privileged.

    Now I know some of you on here make all sorts of innuendos about the staff and regulars of this prestigious outlet

    Well let me tell you, only a large percentage is true

    Well if you change your mind and decide to look them up , try to make an effort to fit in, or at least get an outfit
