How sad,

I bought my first gun from Powells in (wait for it)1961 for the princely sum of £43; every time I visit Brum I take the opportunity to poke round Carrs Lane.

In truth it's recently become more of a fishing kit and clothing / gadget seller than real gunmaker, I guess the numbers of punters for the home built guns were falling below the point where it made real money.

Thank you, very kind. Mine's a pint
