Not much for me. I won a couple of decent looking British single barrel shotguns, a 16 and a 20, another Uggie and a few sets of 12 bore barrels. Seems like UK auction prices keep going up on most things.

What do you do with the 12 bore barrels? Is there a problem with non dealers importing such barrels?

Bid on two cases. Low balled and won nothing.

I bid on the barrels for sleeving projects in the future. I have a small stash going of barrels and whenever gunmaking supplies show up at auction that I may need I bid on them. A form 6 import permit is required to import barrels.

I went through after the fact and saw the Harkom boxlock ejector. Wish I had bought that for the 500 pounds it went for.

Won accessories and a case. Missed on every gun I bid on. Some by 100-300%. Sealed bids are a bit of a mystery. Often when I win I suspect I was the only bidder and paid too much then see what other guns went for and think I should have bid more on that one. I did win one of the unsold guns from the last sale. Funny thing is my bid was below the reserve but I won it anyways. I guess the seller decided to let it go at Holt's recommendation. Sure that will be here some time next Summer or Fall. You may be in a hurray to bid but better be willing to wait for your prize.

Bid 20% more than the high end of the range on a WR martini and lost when it went for almost twice the high estimate.
