I've noted elsewhere that Eric Clapton sold off some of his double gun collection through an auction house. The reason given was he has developed a preference for just one type of gun. Does anyone know what his might be?

He sold off quite a collection of very desirable guns a few years back, one of the shooting magazines did an article on the sale. Watson bros of redchurch street is a name that i associate with eric clapton for some reason. http://www.watsonbrosgunmakers.com/

It's Boss & Co
He sold off his collection of guns, which included new Watson Bros., Churchill, Purdey and a few Boss guns (which he had completely rebuilt by them to huge expensive) to fund the orders for a number of new guns.
When asked about why he was doing this he replied 'I have done the same with watches and cars, through years of collecting I eventually settle on one brand that is the best for me'

He is a lucky man to have the money to indulge his passion for fine guns. Personally i would have a far more eclectic collection, if i had his money that is

Springsteen is anti gun from what has been in the press. Unless some one has other info.

The late John Entwhistle of "The Who" had a gun collection , i don't know what he had though. Roger Daltrey of the same band is into fly fishing in a big way , i don't know if he shoots though.

I think Roger Waters of Pink Floyd hunts. At least, he took a very active part in protests when fox hunting in Britain was being banned.
It's best to remember, though, that the fact that someone picked up a gun and shot some animal once doesn't automatically make him or her a nice, intelligent and respectable person. And the other way round.
