Ladies and gentlemen,
I am just back from a buisness trip to Great Britain, Somerset, Bath Spa. Our meeting ended early and i took a walk down town.

I was very suprised to find that the gun & rifle maker George Gibbs was still in buisness (togheter with it's new owner the gun and riflemaker I M Crudgington.)

They had a very nice and well built .505 Gibbs on display.

They have the rests of the record books in the shop, but most of the records was destroyed by a German direct bomb hit during WW II when the company was located in Bristol.

Anybody here that knows anything more about the Gibbs firm of today?

Deerdogs,
Your local gunshop -lucky you!
They had some very nice Holland 6 Holland etc shoot guns for as i understand it reasonable prices!

Do you know if they still make doubles to order? Is the gunmakers as good nowadays as one can expect from a name like George Gibbs...?

The man in the gun shop told me that it was some "Scottish" firm that make the cases for the .505 Gibbs -do you know who?

As i understand it Norma just might start to make cases for the .505 Gibbs which make me to see the light in the tunnel

Nice town eh?
