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.

Any body deactivate firearms in Essex or near by

#1 Post by AL8 »

A friend has an .303 Martini that he wants to get deactivated as it has the condemned marks on it.
Does anybody know anybody who can do it?
Thanks

Take it to Chris Goodwin at C&G Firearms just along the M25.

Or maybe Roding Armoury in Abridge will do it, pretty sure they used to do de-acts.

Or Simon at Highwood Classic Arms, he's the Essex/London borders IIRC.

As we all know there are far too many live firing .303 Martini Henry rifles out there and they all should be burned at the stake but, and it’s a big but, what are these condemned marks you talk of?

thanks for the input guys.
My friend said they are marks to show they are not fit to be used, I think they were sometimes applied to obsolete firearms.
They were then used for training purposes like gun handling
