Sympathetic gunsmith.

[chip]

Hi all,
I have recently purchased an old relum pistol/carbine.
I would like to have it stripped and greased, and generally serviced to make sure its in good working order.

Ideally i would like all the existing original parts reused.
So does anyone know of a good gunsmith who specialises in old guns who could do this for me. (preferably in the south east).

Also if anyone has any information on this pistol i would be very grateful.

Regards

Hi,
Not in the south west but CS Airguns of Manchester and have an excellent reputation for overhauls, cleaning, rebuilds, refurbs and tuning. See their website at www.csairguns.co.uk; they did a great job of reblueing a barrel for me, and at reasonable cost too.
Best wishes,
Chris

I asked for a full refurb as the gun wouldnt even cock and was in a bad state i wanted it as new but he can do any refurb you wish
shaun was recommended by steve pope as one of the best restorers in the uk so he was the man i chose
he even handmade new piston rings (dosnt have even a leather washer) and also handmade some of the cocking mech, sear and other parts to get it in the condition it is now and it will last another 80 odd years and i was well happy with the profesional job that was done
his number is 07944 981651

there is also Colin Molloy who is based at the Manchester Airguns shop near Oldham. Phone number is 0161 681 7947.

these are two of the best restorers in the country

Pyscho - are you able to tell us what that cost you? I have a Webley Mark 1 in a similar state... An answer by PM would be most appreciated if you don't want to make it public!
