Thanks again John, I always enjoy your posts. It's fun to get others opinions and advise, as I said you always learn alot. English guns are something new to me (I have a very deep abiding love for spanish doubles). Just like spanish guns, there is junk and jewels and in between. Even the best of makers, turn out clinkers, I think W.W. Greener, who made guns all across the board said of one export, "I only say that it will go bang once."
I like to get the input from folks who really have or had a gun and can give good solid advise thru personal experience. Books are great, but the real deal is the real deal.
My problem is, is where I live, NoDak has no real Fine Gun Shops, so one is forced to buy thru other sources, i.e. the net. Thats why I sometimes ask about a maker or gun that I have no chance to ever hold prior to buying it (inspection period always!!). I have bought some guns in the past that have been great deals thru the net, much better than I expected, then again, I've had a couple that went right back. For me its a crap shoot, but thru folks like you, I can try to make an informed decision and try and cut thru the junk and find that jewel.
Thanks again so much, it really is appreciated!!
God Bless!!
Greg
