    I’m absolutely gutted about the whole situation. Colin’s shop (R&S plating) was 5 minutes up the road from where I work.

    I regularly dropped bits off on my lunch break.

    Obviously as many of you know he is a top bloke and did a fantastic job.

    Cheers
    Greg

    What a great shame, Colin did my 12/200 barrel & as one would expect a first class job.

    Paul Chell on the AGF has some of my parts at the moment, Paul comes well recommended

    HI Had a pair of mk1 HW85's, tuned[o'ring con ] by big toe 01, Tony ] who then took them to Colin to refurb,both rusty heaps.butchered barrel bolts,,and they came back from Colin,looking better then when they left the HW factory,when first made,fact this just reminded me I still have one, and hav'nt fired it since I got it done,the guy was first class,he was miles ahead, because he polished any blemish out of the metal before bluing,he will be sorely missed.

    It's a real shame, Colin has done quite a few jobs for me, turning binners back into beautiful rifles.
    So this year we've now lost a fantastic bluer, and vmach, it's going to become increasingly difficult for people to bring back old rifles that have been neglected if this trend continues.

    VMach

    You may want to contact Venomman on here. He should be able to help you out!. VMach can still be contacted via their website but like stated they may take awhile to get back to you due to their reduce hours. Mach 1.5

    Hey up , you know that Wonky Donkey will tune your fwb sport.
    And he has told me he has access to someone that can blue/black to a very high standard.
