This is the epitome of "find a way to make money doing something you love". That goes for Simon and Johnny.

[@SuperReasonable]

I agree on Scottish guns. I have a Dickson Round Action which is the most perfect side by side I can imagine owning.

[@wildswimmerparamedicspike5700]

I purchased a very beautiful, if plain, T.Wild SxS from Holts in their Sealed bid auction In March. A busy day when I picked it up, so was served by Mr Reinhold himself. Made me and my daughter extremely welcome, put the gun together, gave it a once over. He didn’t have to, but he did. We talked off boxlocks and Elk. I came away feeling that I’d been in the presence of true gent. Holts provided a superb service and I cannot recommend them higher then that.

[@TheSpaniel1]

2 gentlemen talking about and sharing a beautiful passion, thank you for sharing

[@kris308100]

"Hand built in 1910 by guys who knew what they were doing". That's why Simon is a legend!. He is surrounded by guns worth megga money yet he appreciates, gives time and owns guns of lesser value for what they are. To me these guns are one offs and this is more valuable than any day modern over and under, off the shelf gun.

[@stefanosbouratzis4546]

I believe Tgs channel is the best by far . Surely second to none. Too bad my English are so poor. I'd love to expose all my feelings and gratitude for such exquisite effort. Best regards. Keep walking the path of greatness!

[@tgsoutdoors]

Thankyou 🙏

[@stuarthawkes1382]

Brilliant video, I had a prediction of what was going to be shown and I was spot on. He's mentioned the laminate before, possibly in the 'The day I fell in love with a SxS' at the clay ground, can't remember? You can see his eyes going over every single millimetre of those Scottish hammer guns as if it's the first he's seeing them.

[@chriswood4461]

Having been in the gun trade here in Canada for almost ten years I have a phrase which I have used often "you only regret the guns you no longer have".

[@gavingaming123]

I could listen to Simon all day long, always interesting and a fine choice of shotguns especially the John Dickson & Sons. Thanks for sharing, love your content Johnny. All the best from a Dickson just south of Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. GD

[@Flyfishtherockies]

Really enjoy the videos where Simon presents topics on vintage sxs shotguns! Over here we’re fortunate to have more freedom with firearm collecting. However, you are fortunate to have such an amazing selection of reasonably priced vintage guns to choose from. Good SxS’s are scarce here, and when found are valued higher, making them more difficult to collect.

[@chrisgodfrey7329]

Thank you so much Simon and Johnny. Here’s why; I had no idea that Hardy brothers originally made Shotguns. Being an avid fisherman and owning several of their reels for trout fishing. It was very impressive that they at one Time made Shotguns. It was rather serendipitous that they’re just happened to be a cased Hardy Brothers box lock on Holts! Scooped it up for a song! Well maybe two songs! It would be more interesting if it’s the very same gun and case. It’s going to enjoy its new home in Texas. Again, thank you very very much Simon and Johnny. Best, Godfrey

[@tgsoutdoors]

Enjoy that new addition to the collection!

[@popdufc4139]

I am a Dundee boy. Remember Gow's little shop with a window I could look in all day.. didn't know they had a gunbuilding skill.

[@elemental4rce]

Met Simon at the Essex masters, nice to see him shoot his hammergun at a big competition.

[@oceanbeliever681]

Humble Simon very humble

[@asifhayat6279]

Among top some of TGS videos. Enjoyed the journey through the wardrobe.

[@oceanbeliever681]

These gentlemen are quality people.

[@paulvenn4447]

I love listening to Simon in these kinds of videos, a wealth of information, a true genteleman in presentation, quallity video.

[@r.parker1933]

This modern shooter absolutely prefers old guns like Simon's. Problem is, I love on the wrong side of the pond, and they become much harder to get over here in the land of black plastic tacticool.

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

This man speaks my language, side- by- side language.

[@gtopp9619]

I really enjoy your videos with Simon. Very much a British Gentleman.

[@johnreed3576]

That’s why I like holts, Nick, Simon et al. are fellow enthusiasts! Great vid!

[@the-sneaky-skunk2499]

This was a really fun video. Would you consider doing what's in my cabinet videos for other guests on your channel ?

[@tgsoutdoors]

For sure we will, not sure many will top this collection

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Yes Sir my very first 12 bore was my father's side by side what a gun. Everyone should have one.

[@MR12GAUGE]

A cabinet with mostly quality older gems is an amazing thing, i'm currently working on restarting the olin kodensha plant inside mine, old is gold

[@kenaidog6974]

I bought my first Hardy reel back in 1983. That gun cased is superb!

[@theislandretreat4326]

Cant. Stop. Watching......

[@sashanovakovic_fan7149]

A stupendous video if I do say so myself.

[@tomhman6441]

Great video. I just love side by side shotguns. Great collection ,never get tired of seeing these stunning old guns.

[@ShotawayFilms]

Great watch.Brings home a lack of knowledge in my early days with some guns which passed through my hands and I let go only to regret as time passed.My first real gun as a teenager was a Damascus Barrelled under lever hammer gun which ended up on a relatives wall. A couple of Scottish SXS.A round action Dixon 30'' damascus barrelled beauty which belonged to one of my closest friends and an Alex Martin ''Grouse Gun''.I could have bought both these guns but opted for the O/U B25 Brownings path.Much later I really fancied a SXS after shooting a couple in the field and thoroughly enjoying the experience.

[@daveb1081]

Love simon! cool collection! suprised he didnt have a Model 12 Winchester!

[@kenlansing1216]

Those are some pretty and practical high value fowling pieces.

[@richarddixon7276]

The discussion about how the Gow , Jones underlever that has lost its browning got Me thinking about several videos I've seen By Mark Novak at Anvil Restorations . He boil browns lots of his restorations and the results certainly look good on screen . Great show guys Thanks for the show & tell . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .

[@maximada2003]

I'm in love with shooting and have been since I started 5 years ago. Please have a go with the Marlin Goose Gun. I bought one for a laugh and it brings me so much joy and fun. I absolutely smash clays with them and have won quite a few sporting competitions using it. There is something brilliant about the challenge of using a bolt action especially on sim pairs. The balance and handling of this oddity of a gun is superb, not to mention you can get one with a fixed mag for peanuts (still load the second cartridge from the breach). I challenge you and Ed to have a shoot with one. Its what shooting is all about for me and I cant help but smile using 'The Goose" and so does everyone who watches me shoot it. Its such an odd gun that it brings a crowd every time I use it!

[@kraaidievoel]

Great episode!

[@DanielMorales-zq1xn]

Armas Maravillosas de construccion formidable!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@matthewchristopherschulzpo3052]

That's a gorgeous collection 😍 👌

[@usnchief1339]

Nice collection! Hammered SxS are just so graceful...love them. I'm getting the itch to purchase more doubles. Unfortunately, they are still pricy here in the US.

[@lucastolson3570]

I want to know what is in Jonny's cabinet. AND his dream gun! great video........

[@vogs72]

Fascinating and interesting chat. 👍

[@eswain4785]

Nice collection. The Dixon hammergun is wonderful.

Awesome. Was looking forward to this. Would love to pick up a hammer gun at Holts one day.

Mr Carter, our mutual friend Simon Rood tells me that we soon will see your evaluation of the trigger plate guns. Congratulations there and I look forward with anticipation to your evaluation

[@tgsoutdoors]

The new sporter video first, followed by the trigger plate, followed by the best guns

Really enjoyed and informative...be great if you guys would do one on Grant hammer guns or just Grants!

[@davidbetts480]

Hello TGS, I have totally enjoyed looking at Simon collection of amazing guns. I have a an original handmade Frenchie diamond, I am wondering if it is possible for you to do a review on one of these.

[@timouellette5865]

Having Simon post a video he bought a new gun is tempting, but this information spilled onto the internet superhighway may be dangerous for us sportsmen. Since, the Ladies might be monitoring it for unsactioned investments in sporting arms. Great show!

[@parrisgeorge9708]

Sympathetic restoration is THE perfect term for what many of these firearms deserve. I've REALLY come to the point where if there's a firearm that's obviously got a story I don't want to erase that to make an old firearm look new. There are more than enough outstanding new firearms to be had. My latest is a 1937 Superposed or as you on your side of the pond call them B-25 factory Trap model with a non standard dimension stock and options that the original owner wanted. I shoot it better than I have a right to and a few of my friends were saying that I should restore it. I told them that I wasn't going to do that because it was a gun that has a story and I want to add to that story. I do need to send it out in order to get the loose ribs taken care of and also the locking bolt needs to be built up. That being said the thing locks up tight and is fun as heck on the clays range...ESPECIALLY on long presentations where the tight chokes come into their own.

[@robmccready5896]

I saw Simon blush!!!!

[@Womanwolfrider]

Holts is terrible, I can’t stop buying guns from them, seriously great place love it :)

[@ddoherty5956]

I've wondered where they were for years the wife pointed it out to me when we visited the woods. I've literally driven past them dozens of times. Off to Specsavers tomorrow 🤣

[@Womanwolfrider]

@@ddoherty5956 it’s a great place, we’ve bought from them the last three auctions, great guns at reasonable prices :)

[@pim1234]

I would love to have an old side by side but shooting steel is mandatory in the Netherlands ...

[@adamwaterman3748]

Can we have a video of your collection next along with ant’s collection aswell

[@wholeNwon]

Had "expected" a 16b Woodward. Then again, perhaps that's a little psychological transference at work.

[@tgsoutdoors]

I’m sure he wouldn’t say no if one came along

[@wholeNwon]

[@simonreinhold_co_uk]

[@charlesroberts6483]

Please could you do another ‘my guns’ with Nick Holt?

[@46caliber]

I wish Browning offered the 525 laminate in the US.

[@zatszats]

You can have a passionate gentleman with a great deal of sportmanship telling stories about his guns Or You can have a drunk, almost illiterate, half-unemployed poacher in a god forsaken village in Greece telling stories of how he committed genocide on an emtire population of wild boars with a 9-cartridge semi-auto. You choose.

[@martinsowerby7922]

value comes from the heart boys, price is irrelevant compared to sentimental ownership

[@dingo5208]

I always buy guns "for the kids." One day they will own them so it's technically true...

[@Imragnar1]

A 410 parker i would sell my soul for.

[@neodutch]

Never mind the lurker on left of screen.

[@jeanmorin3247]

No rifles? They are guns too, aren't they?

[@markh7288]

I just wish that Browning made their guns prettier, rather than functional. It’s their only problem.

[@peterlunn8840]

Strange comment about centre beads and trap shooting - centre beads are pointless for any sort of shooting - you should never look at a bead - the gun must fit properly- then bead checking is redundant

[@neodutch]

A thorough cleaning and service maintains value.

[@SamhainBe]

So many poo-poo sleeved guns...what a shame - their loss!

[@specdel]

Simon, please stop saying ‘in any way shape or form’! Otherwise thank you for a super video as always.

Very fashionable out of focus guns
