    Durrants of Beccles Militaria & Gun auction

    Just a quick heads up for the above auction on 30th October at 10am

    https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/a...h=False&page=1

    Plenty of interesting stuff, the air pistols, air guns and live fire stuff start on page 6

    It's a good job all these auctions are too far away from me, did anyone see the Rydale one as well? I'd be bankrupt if they were within travelling distance

    Missed loads at ryedale.

    I left some bids but had to go out and couldn’t get signal so couldn’t follow.

    What buggers it up now is some of the auctioneers are getting funny about what they will send in the post to You.

    Yes, I’m guessing that can be an issue. It might be worth ringing or emailing them and asking directly what the options are if you buy say, a legal limit airgun or air pistol but can’t collect it ?

    I’ve scoured their site and I can’t find any info on how they go about posting stuff, obviously firearms like shotguns and rifles would have to be collected with the appropriate certificates.

    I’m only about 10miles from Beccles and if they’d allow it I could possible pick up something on someone else’s behalf after they’ve won it and post it on but I’m wondering how much of a minefield I’d be opening up for myself if it got damaged or went missing in the post

    Ive often wondered what would happen if you owned something like this and caught a burglar in your home at night, would you get into a lot of trouble if you held them at ‘gunpoint’ with it till the police arrived ?

    I’m guessing the answer might well be yes

    I'm guessing some curtain twitching neighbour would have you reported, all the while hoping to capture the moment your front door goes in broadcasting it on facebook-live

    Sweat band round your head and ammo belt over your shoulder while you shoot one handed.

    John Rambo or Topper Harley?......
