West Midlands Shooting Centre - DISAPPOINTING VISIT
      #84608 - 25/08/07 04:37 AM

After two 'phone calls and an "in hand" on the telephone description I spent four hours and travelled a round trip of one hundred and fifty miles to view a Greener GP at West Midlands Shooting Centre. After an initial inspection it was clearly obvious that the "gape" or "drop" on the action block was faulty so that the gun could not allow a cartridge to enter unless the lever was forced down. Also that the stock was loose in the action. Why neither of these faults were mentioned on the telephone I don't know. I was offered a "cup of coffee" and that "the gunsmiths will look at it". My reply was not to bother as I had already wasted enouigh time on the matter already and I wouldn't be coming back.

A total waste of half a day and a disappointment!

Harsh reality mate, but be thankful that you were able to objectively evaluate this gun and reject it.

Can you have firearms shipped to a local dealer for inspection?

Yes, the firm TNT offers this, at £15.00, in the UK. However I had wanted to shoot the gun as well as these Greeners need to be shot to reveal any problems with ejection, looseness in the action vis-a-vis the take-down etc.

As said, harsh reality, but at least I've learnt that lesson!

Dear Enfield, how did you get your quote from TNT ? I recently sent a 12 bore percussion gun from London to Suffolk and it cost me £220 !!?? Please let me know who you spoke to, thanks, Mike Bailey
