Cost of airgun servicing?

[Gary C]

Does anybody have an idea of servicing costs of BSA , AA and DS compared to the independents?

I've always used John Bowkett but have an AA 400, a Falcon and a S10 to service. May be worth sending to an independent to do a one stop shop but as I'll be selling them I'd prefer a factory service as they have not been used by me for a long time and have come back off loan.

thanks in advance

Gary - Daystate quoted me £210 + carriage plus parts to service my Mk 3, it cost me £45 + parts to service my Mk 3 at my local RFD who is a Daystate accredited service agent!

John Bowkett is not really comparable as his blueprint tunes are not maintenance, they are improvements as well you should know (I have a Mk 3 S10 as well and it has been to Mr B). Independants were quoting £50-120 just to service the Super 10, so £120 for a Blueprint was not bad by any means!

I don't know how much John charges just to service, but remember a service from him will have all the latest blueprint modifications and upgrades done (the new hammer work makes it a lot quieter) so I would send the Super 10 to him for the treatment it deserves (and then keep it)...

Sent my HW 100 off for a service before Christmas to Hull Cartridge. I was charged £96 including the return postage. New seals and trigger springs were fitted.
Shoots like a dream again.

I used a chap in Swindon called Rancidtom (based by the outlet village) for my BSA S10. Despite the name he did a fantastic job on my rifle and I would highly recommend him. I found him through the bsa owners forum. I think he specialises in BSA but does all sorts. Don't know the price as I had a little more than just a service, full regulator strip, serviced, tuned etc was something like £100 but a bonus for you being local there's no postal fees or long travels.

This should if it works be his link on the other forum....

Care to clear it for a cautionary note?

My BSA usually go to JB as we've been friends for the best part of 15 years

I think you should declare that you are a consultant to Daystate, it could be that you are doing this on behalf of Daystate?

In other news, water is confirmed as wet. Chunky has a long standing relationship with most manufacturers, it's hardly need to know info.

Mate you really are doing yourself no favours at all. You need to grasp the concept that certain people on this forum are good guys with reputations forged from honest, integrity, and a genuine interest in helping others. You seem hell bent on winding these people up, they have in my opinion shown incredible resistant in dealing with your snipes.

Kindest regards

Its a good question actually, I use an independant Renault garage to service my Clio, and save a fortune on the prices at my main Renault dealership. Cant see a problem in using an independant to do my rifles either. I do have a John Bowket worked on Firebird thats one of the best barginds I have ever bought. To be honest after reading the problems encounterd by one of the guys on another post re his Daystate Airwolf, I would be very wary in sending my old Daystate FTR back to the factory yes I have no doubt that will offend some but if I am parting with my cash I want and expect perfect service I dont think thats a lot to ask for myself dont you.

I did try to get you back on DOC but they pretty much laughed in my face. It seems that you spent your time trolling and, when they ignored you, you became abusive. First you were warned, then temporarily banned, then permanently banned. It seems that you have a few "issues"that have seen you banned from pretty much every forum you've been on. So sorry, I tried, but that ship has sailed.
