From: Peter H Jackson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I heard a rumour that P-H called in the receivers today. They were not answering the phone. Don't know if it is true, but if you do business with them it would seem prudent to check. If true, well done Mr Major and Mr Blair! Your 1997 Firearms Acts have destroyed yet another great British business. Peter. www.jacksonrifles.com -- There's a bit more to it than that (if true). Parker-Hale fired their gunsmiths which was a mistake. One of the guys they got in to do some of the work had a most interesting comment to make about a Browning Hi-Power: "That gun was used by the Parachute Regiment." "How do you know?" "It says 9 PARA on it." I kid you not. The .22 AR-15s have a reputation of dubious reliability although I have been told repeatedly that the early problems were fixed. One of the ex-directors has been saying nasty things about PH but it is hard to tell if it was just sour grapes or not. They would seem worth buying out though if only because of their test range. Plus they are still the S&W distributors for the UK, for what that's worth (not much). Inpower recently lost the distribution rights for Glock as well. Glocks now cost a bit more but delivery is more reliable. While I'm in "slagging off" mode, I can't help but mention Beechwood Equipment. Am I the only one who has been kept waiting over a year (no kidding) for delivery? I also tried buying some ammo off them last year, in the end I imported the stuff myself from Switzerland. In fact if you're a copper things are beginning to look a bit tight. H&K they can get, Glock they can get, SIG perhaps if they order enough of them, but that's about it. Steve.
