Firearms Licence Fees Increase
2025 Costs to Gun Owners
Welcome to The Vintage Gun Journal, your free-to-view monthly magazine for all things British gun and rifle.
Welcome to 2025 and a Happy New Year to all.
I jut got back from the Dallas Safari Club event in Atlanta. I got the chance to see a few old friends and met a few people with whom I had spoken or corresponded but never met face to face before.
Despite the awful weather, which closed the airport on Saturday, it was a good event to be involved with. I was helping out Westley Richards, as I did last year but also caught up with some Rigby customers and chatted guns and rifles with them.
The British gun makers at DSC seemed reasonably happy with sales and orders but the lack of footfall was a disappointment for the outfitters, who had a hard time. I hope SCI later this month in Nashville makes up for it.
Here in England, we approach the end of the shooting season and I hope to flush a few woodcock before it is all over.
