I have heard that Atkin Grant and Lang have been sold again in the past few days. Does anyone know any more about this ?

I was with Diggory Hadoke yesterday here in Columbia and he made no mention of any furthur sale. He had taken on consignment a collection of very rare double rifles and sporting guns and is preparing to have them shipped back to England. We talked about the possibility of him returning for the Southern. His business card reads: "ATKIN GRANT & LANG MAKERS OF BEST QUALITY BREECH LOADING GUNS & RIFLES Diggory Hadoke Mobile 07977 149207,etc" His e-mail is dig@vintage guns.co.uk Web: www.atkingrantandlang.co.ukBest Regards, George

My home club is Deep River Sporting home of the Southern. This past weekend I spoke with Bill about AG&L. He said he had been in contact with them in the last couple of weeks and they were on board for the Southern. Now I do have a Lang hammer gun bought and paid for waiting delivery from them. Not to worry since I trust DH and AG&L. I too have heard rumors in previous months, but I have been e-mailing Dig and he has not indicated any such thing.

Hmm, I just checked their website also. His bio is now deleted from the "Who's Who" section of "Our Company". Strange indeed.

Shipping them BACK to England. That means something, I'm not sure what?? I was with Diggory Hadoke yesterday here in Columbia and he made no mention of any furthur sale.

It would seem that if the company has changed hands ,the new owner does not want some of the staff . I would not want to employ people who run their own business,in possible competition and have other outside interests . Time will no doubt tell.
