Holts Auction

[Alan de Enfield]

Wasn't aware of that Geoff, but I'm very pleased. I recently paid 250 quid for one......mind you there is a catch; it had been smoothbored many years ago. It is away being re-sleeved as we speak. I suppose it will be less desirable for that reason, but it sounds like I won't lose anything on it! I've had three of them over the years, & all of them had been smoothbored .22 so that they could be sold on shotgun ticket, probably back in the 1970's or '80's. The conveyors are as rare as the rifles. I have just two for mine, although they could be made..........

Addendum - a few pictures I found on my phone. There are three conveyors there, but one has been over bored, sadly.


That is the same variant that you're referring to, isn't it Geoff?

There is a .22rf 'shot-shell' that is pretty good for shooting rats or pigeons inside sheds.
It works well in a smoothbore .22 or a rifled barrel.

If the fancy takes me, I'll walk down to the stables and wait for the straw to start moving and rustling.



The last ones I bought were gbp £10 per box
