Salopian;
Thank you for your comments and update on what we can see happening there in the UK. We can see the prices of SxS guns declining rapidly at UK gun dealer website, including best London guns; and some of us are taking advantage of the values offered. The prices are of such value that even having to wade through the muck and cost of the TACO tariff is worth it (at least in my case) because of significant decrease in cost of what you can buy the same gun that resides here in the USA---thousands of $.
Additionally, what is now happening in the UK on the lead to steel shot situation now that the gun cartridge companies stepped forward last month and stated that they cannot meet any near term steel shot ban, and that further the technology to build small gauge steel shot shotshells that will kill game is not possible without increasing cartridge pressures. Seems to me that the BASC an other such organization are placed into a position where they are shown to have made a significant error and are losing credibility as representing the shooting community of the UK. Will shooting community promote/propose a new organization to stand as their representative instead of the BASC?
Kindest Regards;
Stephen Howell
