Tim Dyson had one and I think Brian Moore (Purbeck Guns) had the other one I saw.

Thanks John. It was also pleasing to see Lakey again.

Personally, I thought the best rifle on display was the 1930s Greener, which had been completely refurbished. It was a hefty price too but an absolute beauty. I do not know much about these rifles and how they compared with the BSAs of the time but they appear to be magnificently built.

It was a lovely thing. A bit too perfect but also quite superb.

Thank you very much for taking the time

as always a wonderful event, and I met my two objectives...

i) meet up with everyone for a good chat
ii) don't buy anything I don't need.

First one is guaranteed, the second just doesn't happen.. although I did buy a small bandsaw, but as it's not a gun it doesn't count. And I needed it

I managed both - sorry we didn't chat for that long though. The day seemed to go by in a flash.

I did come away with 4 guns but can think of a use for all of them, so I can justify they are all needed The bargain of the day has to be a boxed Makarov that had jammed after a previous owner had pulled the trigger after locking back the slide (don't do this!). The pistol was pristine and being sold for spares at a price of £50. It took me 5 minutes to unlock the slide when I got home!

Trouble is my skills are limited to the the most basic. Vintage Webley pistols, BSAs and Maks are about the limit!
