Thanks for the link. Our prices haven't gotten that low yet Greener Empire in very good original condition can cost well over $1000. The only stuff I see for $500 around here are old field grade domestic clunkers or beat up English guns from BSA or something similar to beat up Webley & Scott 700.[/quote]
A combination of aging shooting participants deciding to leave the sport and declining interest in side by side guns in the UK has resulted in good quality guns being sold ,by private sellers as opposed to trade ,at less than total auction price to avoid auction costs.Private sales on forum sites would be a good place to look. The impending complete ban on lead shot use due to take effect in the UK in 2029 should see more well cared for side by sides on the market as owners not wanting to shoot steel through guns not designed for such use decide to sell up. The limitations of steel shot use in .410 could potentially see an increase in availability of .410 side by sides particularly those chambered for the two and a half inch cartridges common in British built .410s.
