This is why we need "like" functionality!
Lovely handgun Sim!

Latest acquisitions via Holts auctioneers
-On the top we have a FN .22 pump action take-down rifle topped with a very retro weaver qwickpoint scope (a precursor to the modern red dot). It was cheap and i mainly bid on it for the scope.
-on the bottom we have a Serena single shot .410 shotgun (section 1 as it only has a 20" barrel). It may not be great for clays but now I have a .410 slot on my FAC I can try finding some slugs to shoot though it. ( and a range that will allow it)

And picked myself up an Anvil Nitro Conversion to an Uberti Remington. This is their 4.5” Maverick. Got this second hand from a guy in the club, and it’s nigh on mint.
I've always liked the look of those mavericks. You'll have to wait and see what I just bought as a toy.

The Viking has a very pretty blonde wood FN pump that seldom sees the light of day.

This one has a bit wear on the bottom of the stock but otherwise seems to be in good nick. If I can cheaply find or make a rear sight I may move the qwikpoint onto one of my other guns.
One of the clubs I shoot at doesn't like probationers using semi autos so this should at least be a bit more fun for those that are a bit bored of the club bolt actions.

Unfortunately i have just had a call from Kent police to say that the Serena is a "shot pistol" not and shotgun and as such cannot be used for target shooting.(i don't currently have a permission to shoot on and all my slots are for target shooting) As such i will need to lodge it with my RFD so -1 to the gun collection.

Picked up a CZ 452 for basically nothing. I have plans to make my own bench rest stock so wanted a nice cheap action to prove the concept before I spend money on something half decent.
But for now it will make a nice little plinking gun...

New to me , although the previous owner never even got round to zeroing it .308 , built on a Remington 700 action ,Pacnor 26 inch fluted barrel with a custom brake (which works exceptionally well ).
Its sat in a Robinson composite stock , which is a tad basic but , I'm quite comfortable with it .
It was built by the guy who used to be Rhino Rifles in Cheshire .I've had it out on the range and I'm very pleased

Finally got both my Grandad's guns back together, but sadly with only one of them still working. A long process but worth it to keep them I think. Thanks to all who gave me advice.
