Haven't been there for a few years now but started visiting when he was across the road. Eides were closing around then but as far as being a gun shop their glory days were long gone.
Visited H&F Wanganui once - walked in one door and out the other. Wife was with me and I was exiting whilst she was still in the shop. She asked, "aren't you going to look around?" I said "nay, I'm done." I never went back. Although I will say they had a bit more character when they had their small shop near M10.
Wish him well in his retirement.
These gem shops are few and far between - Magnum in Stratford is one, Taihape Gun Shop another (sadly closing).
We need to support them against the big franchises.
