Great 'walk in' air gun shops?

[Frank Rizzo]

What are your favourite shops to just walk in and see a great range of guns? Well stocked, new, used, of all varieties?
I was due to take a trip to Blackpool Air Guns on Monday for a rare day out with my brother. They've only gone and closed up for a bloody holiday this week!
Theres nothing near me that has the kind of stock they offer, just overpriced Gamo springers, replica BBs etc, so a little road trip will always be required.
Where have you been that you wish was, or if youre lucky, is, on your doorstep?

Good question @Frank Rizzo there isn’t that much choice close to me but if I go further afield there’s a better selection.

If you’re struggling it might be worth you going to one of the Gamefairs or Shooting Shows, usually a good selection of manufacturers and dealers at those?

Ironically, the closest air gun shop to me has possibly the least friendly and unwelcoming owner I’ve ever met…..and all I ever do is give him money!!

Pickering Guns is a nice place to visit, very welcoming staff, very friendly spaniels too.

Not the largest shop but does have a good range of guns in second hand. Pickering is a good place for a day out esp if you go on the steam train up to Whitby. You can park near the castle for free avoiding the car parks.

BAR or BAG is 3 minutes drive from my house... Can't remember the last time I went in there though.

Crawley Surplus Store has an amazing display of current air rifles and good stock levels too .....
About an hour from me and well worth the drive!

Isn't there a section for gun stores? If not could mods please add our comments stating the shop names and locations? Thank you

@Frank Rizzo where are you from ?
There’s also McAvoys at Standish , Bamford guns at Eccleston and Cheshire gun room at Bolton .
Not quite as good a selection as BAG but worth a look

Livelines in Armadale . @RussDouglas222 did a video there . One of the best RFD's in Scotland I have been in . Scott and Yvonne are great to deal with.

That's a good idea, bit like the airgun range database thread

DAI or Solware, both around 45 mins from me, both well stocked and fairly priced

Used to love one in Barnsley 'Guns international ' you could walk in and shoulder every gun without being bothered or having to ask.
Sad day when that closed.

Solware near me, they managed to keep honest and open I have always had excellent service and advice.

The whole team seem good dont know their names i think they are big into websales which makes the above even more rare now days..

Crawley is a shop I hate with a passion. Every tiem I go there, I find something new I want and usually end up buying it!
Solware I've been to a few times, and its a tiny little place but good.
Countryway in East Malling are very nice, plus if you're into bikes some nice eye candy, as well a sclothing , shotguns and a few other bits.
Eton is probably my favourite- not a huger selection, but the spares you can get are incredible. the manager has rarely let me doewn if I need anything, no mastter how obscure- the number of times I've been in and asked if he knows where I can something, seen the little frown and "hang on a mo.." before a quick delve and its in my hands

The Broadway Gunroom always has an eclectic range of new an old air rifles.

If you are anywhere near that way definitely worth a looksee.

Currently has 112 in stock.....everything from FX DRS to mark 1 Meteors. Lots of collectibles too....Black Fox anyone with.22 and .20 barrels?

And no....nowt to do with them, just enjoy a browse at interesting stuff.
