Gunsmithing Services

Be advised: I only work on registered firearms, owned by appropriately licenced persons or entities. All paperwork is strictly completed and submitted. So if you don’t have an appropriate licence or your firearm is unregistered then there is no possibility I can do anything for you.

 

Rebarrelling

We offer rebarrelling services for most rifles and some pistols. We stock Lothar Walther prefits for No1 SMLE rifles, No4’s, Swedish Mauser M96 and M38 rifles, as well as K98 Mausers in 8mm and .308 Win. At any time we have around 70 profiled blanks in stock from .17- 30cal in a range of sporting profiles to heavy target contours in both chrome moly and stainless. If your preferred barrel is not in stock we have quarterly orders and can land your custom requirements pretty quickly.

If your barrel option is in stock we can usually fit it within a week or 2, which is hard to beat.

We have 2 high quality Taiwanese tool room lathes for this, our chambering lathe setup with high pressure through barrel coolant. Our reamers are customised to suit our process and the barrels we work with. Our internal finish, thread fit and runout are excellent and I would put them up against anyones.

We do over 200 of these jobs each year.

 

Custom Work

We offer an extensive range of services around customising firearms, manufacturing custom parts and tools, and servicing firearms that many others just won’t touch. If we have the capacity to do your job to a high standard we will. We will make very simple or highly complex parts and tools and spend the time to make things really work.

We have no interest what-so-ever in putting out rubbish and we simply won’t do it.

The downside to this is the cost. This work is hourly rate and rapidly adds up. We will quote or budget it when we can and we are dead straight and up front on our pricing, but understand that if you have a curly problem to deal with or a very special set of requirements that you’d like us to address we would love to do it and you will pay accordingly.

Bedding

Bedding We offer glass bedding and pillar bedding for sporting and target rifles, and traditional bedding for service rifles. Our bedding compound is shop mix epoxy resin and fillers suitable for the project, usually powdered aluminium and/or cabosil. This provides a tough, hard and adjustable viscosity material for bedding that can be matched to the application.

 

Bluing

We offer hot caustic bluing as a finish and we will accomodate whatever prep you prefer. We also will undertake rust bluing as required.

We send out or Cerakote but happily offer this as a service and the turnaround and quality is excellent.
