Been in Wonderland a few times but its really a very nice Toyshop".

Ye Abridge Armoury closed down now but it was run by two exceptional people Pete he is with mays of London now and Trevor sadly passed away although it was only a small shop it was by far my favourite in every way Trevor took parts off his own gun to fix mine first class people
Definitely agree with what's been said about Livelines in Armadale - Scott and Yvonne couldn't be more helpful or friendly. Of the others around this neck of the woods that I have tried, Robbie MacGregor, of Angler’s Choice in Dundee is good to deal with, Wonderland has been fine and Macleod have been very helpful over the phone.
I can’t say the same about Crockharts in Blairgowrie. I was kept waiting for over 20 minutes while the two shop guys chatted to one of their regulars about life the Universe and everything – no buying or selling going on. Unfortunately, I had to stay as they had my gun and when they did eventually serve me they were really dismissive and made it very clear what they thought of airguns and the people who shoot them. Still, they were better than Mallochs in Perth: I don’t know how they even keep going, their stock, attitude and prices are so bad. I wouldn’t deal with either shop again.

the two I speak of work from home, the one in lumphanan is huge. yes no overheads as the shops have but to slate another RFD because they can sell it that little bit cheaper as they have not got the same overheads is petty. there was other RFDs that worked from home up here, their premises where on their land and never offered internet sales ,face to face only due to the fact they dealt mainly in fire arms and ammunition.
also the guy in the article I posted seems to like getting his versions of his stories mixed and matched by the reporters. if they did it to him once ,why go back to them 2 or 3 times again? he admitted last night they twisted his replies.
Wow Guns and Ammo at the top of Leith Walk, run buy Ernie Folley if my memory is correct, always moaning about the VAT, had tonnes of NOS upstairs with the mainshop downstairs, used to haunt that place weekly as a kid in the late 70's, happy days.
Went to Wonderland's last time I was in Edinburgh and it certainly is a good modelshop, gun wise pretty poor!
I've always received great service at Redbeck just 10 minutes away from me, also great service from City in Lincoln,especially if the dealings are springer related .
not sure of his name. was him and his wife. you were not allowed upstairs. the shop had big steps outside to get into the shop.
in was in almost every other week. mainly for knives was a great shop. I have a pic of the wife in my memory and a vague one of him. I would have last been in around 1995 if not a few years before.
