    Same name I think. Maybe not Mewe but he has gone onto other sites.

    Its Guntrader he is on.

    There was one down here much the same,
    I forget if it was Tavistock or Launceston but he always had at least a dozen rifles from his "personal private collection" up for sale on freeads,
    a mix of cheap tat or decent rifles that were horribly over priced

    He's certainly moved to the bay. Chickenpox / chickenpie or something similar from memory he goes by. Still wading through his 'collection'.
    Always on the look out for Brum / Venom - Webley Longbow / Tommie rifles and parts.

    He was an ex RFD who had built up a collection of several thousand air guns as a retirement fund. Not a bad bloke to deal with and I actually got some very good stuff off him. His advertising and prices might have been a bit surprising but ,talk to him and some very good deals could come out of it.,
    I think it's people who hadn't dealt with Glynn slagged him and gave him an undeserved reputation.
    I was quite happy with 2 reasonable pre WW1 Long Toms ( advertised at £200 each) for £200 the pair, A working but little tatty Gem advertised at £100 but sold to me for £45 and a tidy Medium precision advertised at £200 that I got for £100

    He has left and came back multiple times. He was at AirArms for a while . He was Sterling Armaments too.

    Companies house has him listed as resigned as a director but he could still be there in a non director role.

    Fair enough, I never went past his prices.

    I once contacted RQMS on the back of one of his ads and wanted to make arrangements to view a rifle, which he said he could not accommodate for a couple of days. When I contacted him prior to visiting at the appointed time, I found out he sold the rifle to someone else.

    I would not deal with him again after this experience. Others can make their own minds up.

    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
