#1 Post by safetyfirst »

So. If I wanted a nice shiny cosmoline filled no4, unissued and unused, where would I get one from?

I got mine from a place in Oldham. Was called 'Simply Arms and Ammo'. I believe it's changed its name now - but to something not too different to previous, so googling 'Arms and Ammo Oldham' might get you there...
Good luck.

He had racks of Enfields of varying condition when I was in last. Definitely reputable, definitely talkative... :)

Kranks will always have some in, but again it may be pot luck... best bet for both is to phone and ask. They may have a rummage through when you're on the line :)

Simply Firearms did not have any No. 4 when I spoke to Derrick a couple of weeks ago. Kranks only had 2-groove versions in the warehouse.

I was enquiring for my Father who was after another No. 4. By chance another club member was selling his which he had hardly shot in about 13 years of ownership..... Dad bought it and is delighted with it... fantastic condition and shoots really accurately.

I'm in Chesterfield and I've not heard of him. Be interested to hear more though.
