Check out the classifieds at www.internetgunclub.com You can also mail the owner John Smith with your requirement and he would circulate it among the British gun trade. This is a forum that belongs to the trade and is supported by the Birmingham Proof House.

Tell John Hi from me if you mail.

Good hunting!
