Second hand firearms via the net??? 
Hello Julian,
it seems we are the only 2 people posting messages!!!!!
Have you (or anybody reading this) bought a second hand firearm via internet/post.
I have been looking at a few sites that are LOTS cheaper than our local gun shop.
They all say 'on there web site' that if your not happy send it back! Is it that simple? Or is it best to pay more and buy local?
Any helpful advice mate would be great,
fusil

Hi

Yes quiet - I'm not overly happy with the Forum software and may change it to something more standard like PHPBB - what do you think? I think people maybe having problems figuring out how to use the forum.... Lots of people are registering but not posting.... answers on a postcard please.

Buying online.... http://www.tecmagex.com/ springs to mind - never tried it.... often thought about it for buying ammo in France because it's a lot cheaper than local shops.

Dunno to be honest - if it's a big store and they say they'll take it back etc. fine..... but what about all the sodding paperwork? When you buy a gun online or ammunition you have to send off your paperwork..... as it can take a couple of months for new paperwork to be created in Morbihan (Much longer in some other departments) it could mean further delays...... I know some local guys went to see a specialist in Normandy to buy some rifles because he was much cheaper.... maybe it's best to do some miles and go in person.... I'd be reluctant to buy online, less so for a new firearm but second hand, I'd be very unsure as some parts can be badly worn and both expensive and difficult to locate.

I'll try and get the address of the Guy in Normandy - I'll probably be bumping into one of the shooters at a music night in St.Barthelemey tonight.

Sorry for the late reply - been away on hols :)

Julian,
I've used tecmagex a few times and have had one little problem that was sorted within 48 hours. There prices are very good and they are ran by an English bloke and his kids. I bought my 22lr rifle from them with no probs and save nearly 100euros compared to Pontivy prices.

ps
if you could get me that addres/number I'd be very greatful. If you would send it to my email direct that would be great.

 Brittany Forum Moderator Final Word

When setting up these Brittany information and discussion forums I hope that it will not go the way that most other forums in Brittany seem to have gone....bitchy.

I want real people who live in Brittany France or are thinking of living in Brittany to use these forums to discuss problems, offer advice, announce events etc... This is why we send new users a confirmation email. Simply to ensure that whoever wants to make posts into the Brittany Forums is a real person! I hope everyone will benefit from the Brittany forums.
