Tikka T3 0 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 hello just to let you folks on here that havent yet heard that dj litts firearms in newport have ceased trading and the administraters have taken over now. people who have money tied up in weapons etc would be advised to go and find out about there money, items as soon as possible . regards t3 Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 Yes, unfortunate in my eyes, some hated the place, I never had any trouble. The administrators are Deloitte and Touche in Cardiff. I have been told there are notices on the gates there that says the business is closed for stock taking this week and will be trading next week, on the other hand from another source I was told there are notices that the company will not be trading. So until the details are published we wont know. One thing which I can clarify is that Andrew Litt is neither in prison or police custody. The police presence was due to the situation involving firearms. Regards SS Quote Link to post

Hope it all works out ok for you lads. From what I have been told by someone "in the know" shall we say, the RBSS branch of Litts has gone too. I cant guarantee the reliability or credibility of this information. Their shooting ground, Treetops, is still going, but RBSS is independent of Litts. It is still being hosted on the RBSS website, but then again, the original Litts website is still going. I would contact them tomorrow first thing, Deker and Tikka, and find out what the situation is, you will need to have some proof of the deposits/products. The administrators are Deloitte and Touche of Cardiff, maybe worth giving them a ring if you get no luck at the RBSS. Regards SS Quote Link to post

I didn't know you ordered a rifle, which one? probably want to get that money back out ASAP! Quote Link to post
Yokel Matt 918 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I only picked up my 6.5 from them (Litts @ Royal Berkshire) week last Saturday and we were making plans about scopes. Wondered why i couldn't get through to them on the phone. I'm sure he didn't have a clue and wouldn't intentionally accept orders or money if he had.. He came accross as a really genuine bloke.

jamie g 17 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 if i they had my money i would call your bank if you have paid on card. and get it back that way if they wont hand it back to you. its really crap when firms take themoney and no there going down Quote Link to post
Deker 3,491 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I drove to Litts @ Royal Berkshire this morning to find the story, closed, locked, serious padlocks and the notice on the door about recievership as previously mentioned. I'm not happy but I understand one customer was having a custom Beretta built at around the £30k mark and had already paid £10K deposit. Quote Link to post

Regards SS Yes i agree with you SS.. it is very unfortunate that litts have ceased trading, whatever individuals thought of the service received the fact remains that another good shooting supply outlet has gone and we are not overly blessed with them in this area, i,m sure many people will experience difficulty in buying a wide range of shooting product due to their demise--- From a local point of view , lets hope it may re-open soon if someone else can take over...

It is Keith, you just watch the price of guns rocket now, you wont be able to deal like you used to do with Litts, in the South West area you could save a lot of money because they were so massive. We will have to wait and see. SS P.S Yes, someone else Quote Link to post
