The Uggies do not have a reputation of being bad guns. Quite the contrary. My own example Uggie boxlock has been more reliable than the crowd of good English boxlocks (all very much gone down the road, thank you) that haunted my gunsafe over the years. The Uggie is much younger than they were, and was proofed to a higher level, but, other than cosmetic repairs initiated by myself (someone put a white line pad on it) it is simply a bullet-proof A & D boxlock, that needs no excuses made for it.
The original poster noted he bought it as a project, it had been at the very least neglected, and perhaps abused. Such things can often be made right.
Explain, if you will, why you think he should sell it, or why you would disparage a gun of any make, simply from knowing about one paragraph of internet communication about it.
Best,
Ted
