    Hi Robby

    There are two main Airgun shops in Birmingham city center which you can find quite easily as you are coming from Scotland I presume?

    First one is Powells which is by M&S department store. I'd say this is a Posh kind of shop. They mainly specialise in shotgun & country gear with a o.k selection of air-rifles.

    The second is G. Bates which is by the Police head quarters called Lloyd House. They have a very good selection of Air-rifles, accessories & a good second hand section.

    There are a few more shops in & around Birmingham but those two would be the easiest to find.

    Regards
    Paddy

    … and then there’s City Air Weapons in Solihull (www..com) close to the Birmingham boundary. Steve usually has a nice selection of new and used target rifles/pistols. Note that the shop is open to the public on Thursday, Friday and Saturday only.

    Get on the Walsall Road out of Birmingham and head to Sporting Supplies ( Willenhall Lane, Bloxwich - 01922 406777 ), it's about 20 mins from city centre of Birmingham.
    Best selection of airguns I've seen and pretty much the only shop that has a couple of ISP Spartans in stock. There's tons of shotguns, firearms, knives and clothing etc too.

    ( Have I made it too obvious that it's my mate's shop and my other mates work there? )

    Definately visit Sandwell Field Sports.
    Its a decent sized shop, thats well stocked and
    They know their stuff and the service is superb.
    Add to that the light hearted banter and a cuppa if you get there at the right time.
    Only problem is if they are vacuuming you cant make yourself heard

    Dont hold your breath waiting for Bates to open they said they would open 6 months ago......still waiting

    It's been a long time I've been there! Thanks for the update
    I knew there was building work but I didn't know they knocked it down.
