There arent many gunsmiths left. The last set of laws after Dunblane decimated the industry.
There were only about 2500 businesses in the UK before the laws killed off their jobs and livelyhoods.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I'll have a go, I can weld, drill etc etc but I need to test it a few times to make sure it works...

I once made a gun out of a pringles tube and a potato. What can I do for you?

Do you really need one in NW or N Wales?
There are several still working in Birmingham.

thanks so far, was looking for local as with these things you need to take and collect personally.
mr whippy, once fixed i am sure we can come to an arrangement.....
do go to cannock every other month so birmingham may be an option.
looked on website for the place in bulith wells but although they are calling themselves a gunsmith it appears to be retail sales only and they dont
mention repairs but i will call them tomorrow.
never heard of monks but will try them too, thanks.
