Servicing

break

Carl Russell & Co have an on-site workshop where our in-house, time-served gunmakers carry out servicing and repairs to all makes of shotgun, rifle and air rifle.

Whether you shoot game or clay all shotguns and rifles need to be serviced regularly to prevent malfunction in the field. We recommend that you have your gun serviced at least every two years. If you shoot frequently and in bad weather we would advise to have your gun serviced every year.

A standard service would include stripping the gun to its component parts, removing dirt, grease and debris. Then replacing or regulating any parts where required, re-assembling, lubricating and finally, test firing.

Having your gun serviced regularly by our craftsmen will safeguard your investment and prevent failure in the field.

Alterations

Be it a new or older gun, ‘gunfit‘ is very important. We can advise if your gun fits you correctly and if required carry out the necessary alterations. From a fitting session in the workshop which is ideal for minor adjustments, to a full fitting service which can be arranged at a shooting school with a qualified instructor using a try gun and pattern plate. In our view, shooting in the field is the best way to obtain the most accurate set of measurements.

Examples of alteration work carried out by the team at Carl Russell & Co include:

  • Altering cast and/or drop
  • Best stock extension in buffalo horn or wood with a chequered butt end
  • Fitting of best leather covered recoil pad
  • Fitting of recoil pad
  • Altering balance
