OK will do. I'll get it on this evening.

Mr Greaves, I send them in via a courier, no problems at all. I always have to ask that the buyer is over 18!.

Its the same with the M-H's, I use TNT, no problems as they are antiques.

I might just have too, the South Africa exchange rate is very poor at 11:1 , it was 14:1!. That makes the gin bill go up a bit!, ah well.

I nearly Khakhad Harry for the camera!.

Thanks for the reply Neil,
So long as the rifle is pre '79 I am not really bothered which one I buy, but I would like whichever rifle, in your opinion , has the best bore/ rifling as I would like to shoot it in the future.
Please can you give me details on how to pay for it and I will give you my delivery address .
Thanks again

Hi did you send me an e-mail?, as I have been up in Edinburgh on business,I'm back into my office tomorrow so I'll check my response went through. I've held the 1877 aside. Regards

Morning Neil,
Yes it was me who sent the email I received yours thank you .
I await the details I need to send the international bank transfer.
You can put whichever rifle aside that you think is the best to shoot at a later date, if that's the '77 nice one, if not and you have one that is possibly better suited to my needs then please put that aside for me.
Just let me know what the buying price is and I'll make arrangements with my bank this week.
Big thanks once again
