The last National Amnesty netted me a nice BSA No.5 and a couple of sporting rifles, tidied up and onsold.

This current State one which has only been going for a couple of weeks and runs to the end of September, has netted me an Enfield 1918, a Lithgowicon 1929, a couple of old Blackpowder pieces and a bloody big box of assorted powders and parts for them.

A chat with another dealer to keep a look out for the bits I'm interested in might bring the odd one or two more...……...seems strange to benefit from this sort of thing, but I guess that I am saving a few from destruction...…..just keep running out of safe storage room.
Mate, I for one am extremely glad you are doing it and that you are profiting from it. From my perspective, you are benefiting the shooting public by preventing perfectly safe, and potentially historical, firearms to go into the hands of responsible shooter and collectors. That is praise worthy in my book.
