Really interesting and enlightening. It's sparked my interest in looking out for more pin-fires; I only own one by Thomas Newton of Manchester. I asked a dealer friend who looks out for certain guns for me to tell me if he gets any pin-fires in only to be told that he had bought in three, all 16 bores one English and two continental for just Ł250 the lot but had sold them on. Drat! He knows better now! Thanks for all your hard work and please contact me when the book is available. Lagopus…..
