Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'
The Scotsgun Ruling:
>Add Gun Shop here<
"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."
Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!
This rule applies to the entire forum.

A friend took me to see Dave at Bowtech last Friday as he was selling a Uberti 1873 lever action. Proper gunsmiths with lathes, drills, and other machines in the workshop. Ended up buying the Uberti, ammunition, a Marlin .22 lever action and Dave threw in 250 rounds of .22, 2 gun slips and some cleaning gear at a very cheap price too. Very nice chap and good to deal with so would fully recommend.

Re: Bowtech, Birtley
Oh dear Saddler, who've you been annoying now?? 
Dave at Bowtech is excellent, no nonsense, fair pricing and best of all only 5 miles from me. Sadly (for everyone else!) he's retiring this year so i'll have to find someone else to tolerate my daft little smithing jobs

Re: Bowtech, Birtley
Only used him once, but very happy with the service. I get the impression he has been intending to retire for years...

Re: Bowtech, Birtley
I know this is kinda old but does anyone has a contact for Bowtech or Dave?
I am trying to trace down a gun which has SN: DG471 but Mik at Dolphin Gun said he didn't build into a gun, he just sold the action to Bowtech RFD.

Any email contact or website?
I was given a landline number, no answer, but I’ll keep trying.
