The Webley and Scotts are great guns. So glad that you enjoy yours. None of my guns fit me like a glove but I shoot some of them okay. Your Bowoods would be a more recent model than my 28 bore which was the Model 700’s from the 50-60’s. I also have two original W.C. Scott’s a 16 and 12 ga. SLE with Damascus barrels from the late 1800’s.
I also used to own a W&S 12 bore hammer gun with steel barrels and another Model 700 20 bore with 30” barrels that I should not have let it go.

Will do.

ShootingCar I hope you will post progress on your new pup. So, so sad to have to say Good Bye, this is our cocker Hermione, a very smart dog and I am sorry I only shoot rifles these days as I would love to have trained her as a gun dog! View attachment 7888908

It’s never too late to introduce her to birds and try a shotgun again.

I have my Grenadier just like I dreamed. Now I just need to have the time to enjoy it as such.

Lovely. Is that a Joe Graham box lock in 12g?

Hmm, my FAC, shotgun and air rifle certificates expire in less that 2 weeks, but Police Scotland assure me it'll be with you don't worry. Me I'm not convinced, local area PC happy and signed off, but has to be signed off by Firearms Sergeant, Divisional Superintendent and Chief Constable. Anybody experienced needing a temporary certificate? My last one was renewed during corvid and that went unbelievably well.

Had an extension granted / had to remind them it would expire soon
I asked if I should bring everything to station if did not arrive(which you must do)
I'm the end, it arrived one day before deadline

What I was wondering, who has the authority to sign a temporary certificate, if it is like the command line as per renewal it would be just as quick to pursue the renewal. I also suspect the local station (12 miles away) won't hold them and will need 30 mile journey to Firearms section in Dumfries. Just slightly closer than my Grenadier dealer

It’s a John Graham and Son’s of Scotland - 16 bore BLE. It was probably made by Midland Arms. I had it restocked and rebuilt a few years ago by a friend and gunsmith.
