Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

You'd think I'd learn from experience, but I'd run out of powder and my options were severely limited. I go in under similar circumstances about every five years but, as I've yet to have a positive experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further.

I've bought a couple of rifles from them over the years and found them OK, once they've finished their lunch/tea/conversation and got round to serving you...........a bit like my local plumbers merchants actually, and unlike the plumbers merchants, they will haggle.
No problem with taking the rifles on to the zero range for a few bangs before buying, either.

No problems from them when I purchased my SVDS from them

I first went into Fultons in 1978 for some reloading items. They had none of them. over the years, I have been in the shop many times, but the only thing that I ever succeeded in buying was a couple of pounds of black powder. Staff were always un-helpful.

I've had good service on a repair to a Webley Mk1N WW1 pistol and a Winchester lever action I gave them in bits.

I have found Fultons to be very helpful on occasion but more usually like others have already said the norm is to wait around for ages for staff to finish their tea or chat only to find that what you want is not in stock.

They have been fantastic each time I needed to buy a new score book.
