Repairs & Workshop

 
 

The workshops at our Manchester office are equipped to carry out just about any repair that can be thought of and 90% of repairs are carried out in 3-5 working days. Your work is not farmed out to someone miles away so this means that you can leave your gun in the confidence that any work is carried out exactly as you expect it. We believe that we have to get it right first time. It is far easier to deal with customers that are satisfied!
