Alternatively checks out Yellow Pages as to how many "Gunsmiths" are trading
in the UK.

You searched for "Gunsmith" in "UK". Yell has found 60  (YES ONLY SIXTY)
matches for GUNSMITHS in UNITED KINGDOM.

Most RFDs are part-time businesses.

Know what you mean, getting stuff in this Country has 
become so chronically bad that, with the exception of the 
combustible stuff, if it isn't on the shelf of the gunshop 
when I want it I order it from the US. It generally works 
out the same price, sometimes cheaper, if they don't 
have it theyll tell you or order it for you and you generally 
know when, or even if, you are going to get it.

The number of RFDs is in sharp decline, I think the current number
is around 2,100, down from more than 3,000 in 1987.

Jonathan,
I thought I'd give someone else a chance to reply to this but has no one has
offered anything, may I suggest a visit to my local gunshop, Lock Stock and
Barrel of Mossley. (About 7m NE of Manchester but only open Thur, Fri, Sat &
Sun). An absolute treasure trove for anyone interested in older rifles.
Please free to mention my recommendation to prop. David Bell.
Cheers
VinceB

You might even try the one in Yorkshire who swore blind he had in stock
the ammunition I wanted.
Despite ringing on the Monday, Wednesday and Just before I left home on
the Saturday, my one hundred and odd mile journey was met by, "it's at the
warehouse a couple of miles away and we can't get it 'till Monday".
Try that one.
Or the one in South Yorkshire who, when I wanted some RCBS re-loading gear
had ME ring him every week just in case it came in stock, instead of
ringing me when it arrived, after ten weeks I went somewhere else.
The one in Devon who swore that he had Sierra's reloading book in stock,
took my money then gave me excuses for seven or eight weeks before I asked
for my money back.
Plenty of good shops to choose from, and the "others"
Best of luck

Manchester gunshops--a bit of a desert in my experience, Jonathan.
Spend some petrol money in Leeds, Halifax, etc.

PS: Mind you, if you're into airweapons, Manchester Airguns used to be 
interesting

hours to kill, can anyone recommend any decent Gun 
shops to go browsing round. Antique shops with Guns in 
also.
