Malcolm Cruxton of Price Street Birmingham, tells me that in the last couple of years he made a set of 8 bore and 12 bore dovetail barrels.
It is note worthy that Malcolm Cruxton has been in the trade for more than 60 years and he has stocked thousands of guns and made more than 300 guns in addition to the thousands of guns that have been repaired in his shop in those 60 years. He is moving his shop soon as his part of the old buildings is to be demolished at the end of this years.
In the past he had a complete machine shop there and did all sorts of machining for the gun trade.
