Had a good experience with a gun shop or rifle maker? Found a good deal? Tell us about it. Had a bad experience, TELL THE GUN SHOP!

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.

Mr. Downs is a RFD in Bristol, I have had nothing but the best experiencees with him,
knowledgeable, helpful and does a good deal.

Once bought a lovely ERA P14 off of him iin pre-weadon condition, however the barrel was ruined (couldn't see any fault with the naked eye) and was key holing at 25m

took it back and he gave me every option, money back, exchange for another gun or a deal on the cost of rebarreling if it could be done,in the wnd I changed it for my LSA which was his old match rifle, he knocked £70 off the price (it was £50 more expensive than the P14.

very sad to see him close at the end of this year, but cannot rate him highly enough

Sad to hear of an old fashioned business closing down. I hope this is due to retirement rather than for financial or health reasons.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!
