Lincoln Jeffries gone

[martin st ledger]

On another thread in another section its been confirmed that Lincoln Jeffries have stopped operations, the end of a large part of our airgunning heritage, perhaps the most important name in British airgunning history.

Just read the other thread, a bit gutted about this, been mainly using their pellets in my Prewar rifles for bell target and 6yrd paper.

What are we all going to do now for us who use 5.6mm pellets?

Sad indeed.

Sad indeed.

I've been using their dome-head Marksman pellets in all my .22 Webley pistols for years now.

Things didn’t look good on Companies House. Last year the filed accounts as a dormant company.

I wonder if someone will be the machinery and carry on supplying Marksman and Bulkdog pellets?

Sad indeed.

Very.......and that nice shooting Mark I that you sold me a couple of years back

, will definitely miss its favourite food!

 

[Troy.T.]

Glad it went to a good home Stephen. Suffice to say I regret selling it.

 

[John M]

A very sad end to one of the early pioneers of airguns.

Let's celebrate the fact the company lasted so long and we have all had the opportunity to buy and use pellets that were made by the historic firm of Lincoln Jeffries during our lifetimes.

The company has much to be proud of.

Well, it's regularly used and spends its off duty time in a snug pistol slip, as befits an old-timer. As an old-timer myself, I have had to wimp-out and replace that Chambers, factory spec. mainspring that you installed, with a slightly softer and easier to cock, Protek one. Loses a bit in raw power(!) but a more comfortable operating experience for me!
