Welcome to The Vintage Gun Journal, your free-to-view monthly magazine for all things British gun and rifle.
June was hot! Record breaking temperatures have seen the tree saplings I planted in need of water and squirrel damage has me minded to start trapping properly.
We have much to anticipate in July; The Game Fair, Holt's auction and Paige's 21st birthday. Rigby should move into the new premises in London mid-month and I am really looking forward to that.
I hope to have some really exciting guns to sell this month, just waiting for my valuations to be approved.
Finally, my old Land Rover Defender may actually be on the road sometime in July, after months of rebuilding.
As always, thank you for reading the VGJ .
