There should be a lot of classic guns, see

Arms Heritage

My club, the HBSA, will have a stand, as will some dealers such as Chris Smith who have a good stock of .303s etc.

I'll be there manning the Lovat Society stand. Call by and say hello.

Hate to miss it. I'll be at the Louisville (Ky) show, expect about 3,000 tables.
(and hope no snow). Ya'll have a pint for me.

[harry mac]

I too would love to go, but someone in our deer group who shall remain nameless booked Thetford ranges the same day, and it's a compulsory shoot. Still, at least I'll be shooting.

Well, we went on saturday and had a jolly good time. Lots of "heritage arms" to drool over and photograph.

Oh blip, here's the proof. I'll post some piccies in a new thread in the .22 forum.

Simon, I only joined this forum after visiting the show, but what a pity the rifles on the Lovat Society stand were at least 12 feet back from the front of the stand. I wanted to drool properly but at that distance it was kinda hard!

[Alan de Enfield]

Thought the show was dissapointing (Enfield wise), apart from Chris Smith & the Lovatt there was a distinct shortage of Enfields - Oh - yes the Bedford arms had a solitary 4T for sale.
Plenty of shotguns and a small number of sporting rifles.
Wanted to buy 7.62 ammunition - couldnt find a single seller.
Two companies selling bullets and powder, neither had 7.62.

There were 5 halls under the banner 'Gunsmiths' - I reckon you could have fitted all the 'gunsmiths' in one small hall. The rest were all clothing, clay pigeon traps, knives, magazine publishers etc etc.
