yeah, £40 of fuel and a few hours of time (say also £40) might be only 5% of the value of a £2k helicoptor, but it's more like 25% uplift on the average gun... suddenly you are at virtually "buying it new" prices...
Also guns are really not that fragile.. with sensible packing, I've never had a problem buying or selling several 100 guns.
And no, I've got no time to shoot either, so what little time I have can't be wasted driving around the country. Plus I hate driving
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. But not lathes. I have too many lathes. Thanks, JB.
