Hello AGN Members,
In the past I have had some wonderful examples of Brocock, Saxby, Crown and other PCP, air cartridge guns, both revolver and rifle.
Recently I have seen three of them. The snub nose here on AGN, the one that was bought from AOA a few months ago, which happens
to be my favorite in many regards. Full under-lug, .177 caliber, walnut grips and near new condition.
All that said, not long ago I sold my ent6ire collection as soon as I heard the Nigel Silcock, one of the brothers that bought Saxby and then
formed Brocock. That decision was based on future lack of cartridge availability. I had collected for over 12 years, and I know a lot of the
niche collectors, but I didn't think it was wise to continue to put money into a dyeing species.
I used to restore and reseal air carts for people for free and that gave me great exposure, but I can't fix broken or missing brass.
What I'm saying is, if you research SILCOCk in the UK, l think you will find that they are actually shut down as far as air cartridges,
if not completely. I know a huge AC collector in the UK and he knows Nigel personally. I was told it was shut down a couple of years ago.
If you just like bizarre stuff, by all means collect whatever you want. Personally, I can't even collect NIB, never to be shot items.
The last image shows a 44-70 that Nigel made for me over ten years ago. Me and another collector bought around 500 in total.
If anyone would like to bend my ear about BAC's, SAC's, TAC's, need seal sizes and types, etc. feel free to contact me.
Kindest regards
