    That looks, on the face of it, a pretty attractive price?

    It looks to me that it has been painted.

    And it's in Scotland. If the shop will post, RFD costs will have to be factored in

    I recently bought a blue book off them delivered (cheers bighit), very easy to deal with. Excellent communication.

    Obviously Im an unknown (and Im not putting myself forward), but are there not other known members in the Glasgow or Edinburgh area (its half way) you would trust to buy it for you and post it down if you were interested?

    I agree it does look like it as been spray painted. and the grips are knocked about a bit as well. so to me it is over priced.

    Not strayed into the Acvoke - is this design pre-War ( and so exempt from the face to face thing ? ) or post War and so needs etc etc

    The Accles & Shelvoke 'Acvoke' is an early post-war design being made 1946 - 1956 and is the full size version of the intermediate sized Produsit 'Thunderbolt Junior' and much smaller German Tell 2 pistols.

    Your welcome Dave . They are 150 miles each way from me and I have a RFD 5 mins from my flat.

    I go to livelines . Scott and Yvonne have one of the best shops going.

    My brother and mate live nearby and I get what I need when I'm visiting them.

    I'm around £15 or so cheaper buying .22lr from them than from my local RFD.

    I have sent Scott a message about airguns and the laws for RFDs and he has replied quickly despite me saying I was in no rush.

    Had my mate been a shooter he would have got it from Scott and posted it down. I dont know any other shooters nearby or I would have asked them .

    I know you and so do others on here so if anybody wanted this, Id happily meet your mate to buy the gun and let them post it on.
