Ask for a condition report, they might do it for sealed bids, but they don't guarantee they will have time (might be best waiting until the main auctions are finished next week). And Greener L70 if you're feeling brave on the restoration front! c

There's a few good value no.2 on Holt's sealed auction this month (some 16g too). Of course, it's a pay your money take your chances on the sealed front!

That would be a good price for a gun that 'new'; I'd probably be suspicious! For an AyA, I'm after a pre-DIARM gun, preferably 60s (peak AyA from my research).

Yes, I think you're correct. Don't ask, don't get though I guess.

I'd say absolute max £3k. Enough for something nice, but not spectacular...

Bump with the next Holts fast approaching!

Beautiful guns, might be worth adding LoP too.

Thanks Charlie, hope things go smoothly for the team!

Lovely thing, I hope someone snaps it up! Might be worth adding if it's nitro proofed (and if reproofed when). Also the bore!

The MacNaughton would be a dream, but above my budget!

You're 100% correct and it's something I'd love to own, but it's beyond my current budget I'm afraid!

Yes, poor showing from me really, I'll update the original post too. 12g 15" (ish) stock, no, or limited cast 2 3/4 chambers, but would consider 2 1/2 Sidelock ejector preferred, but not a snob to high quality boxlocks Profuse engraving, but not essential.

Looks a nice gun, but I'm after a 12g!

Yes, it's definitely a case of people were definitely smaller stature back in the day. My current sxs is a cheap boxlock at 14.5", which means it flaps about bit with my 6ft+ frame! I'm guessing it would be 2 1/2 chambers? Ah that's where my recalibration started, I tried a #2 and decided it...

A lovely thing (a round action would be a dream), but with a 14 1/4" stock it would be flapping about on my shoulder!
