Gun & Rifle Makers


Are you looking to purchase a second hand gun or a pair of guns but are unsure of the condition?

Are you a dealer who's been asked to have one of your guns appraised by an independent gunsmith?


Then look no further.


Investing in a gun or a pair of guns worth hundreds or even thousands of pounds can be a risk and rather daunting.

I provide a comprehensive written appraisal giving a full condition report including stripping the gun and inspecting every part for wear and obvious signs of repair/replacement.

Bore and wall measurents are checked and logged including in the case of fixed chokes, the choke borings.

As I do not have a crystal ball I can't tell you whether or not something like a firing pin (striker) or a main spring will break in the future but I can and advise if it may be up for replacement in the near future depending on its current condition. 

I give clear written appraisals that give you the facts on the condition of the gun. I only log what I see being fair to both parties. Whether the gun or guns are worth the money is between you and the dealer you are buying from. 


Written appraisals of this type are £180.00 or £240.00 for a pair of guns.
