Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has ever used the services of Kent Gunsmiths in Faversham. Ive just brought a secondhand Hatsan Escort Gen 1, I believe anyway. I think it’s well overdue a bit or tlc (even for a semi auto) and most probably some replacement parts. They are within an hours drive of me and website looks promising. Any thoughts? Also without sounding stupid. I belive it is chambered for 3” carts as it’s got 12x76 stamped on the barrel along with steel shot. Am I correct? Cheers Adam

Does anyone know of a good gunsmith in Suffolk that might be looking for a new unit to work from? I have been asked to post on here as I know someone that has a great opportunity for a gunsmith to be located next to a large shooting shop. They are looking for a skilled gun smith to work on the same site. If you have any ideas could you let me know please. Cheers

Hi Could anyone shed some light on my problem please? My Baikal has been piercing primers on the bottom barrel on all sorts of cartridges. I've had the firing pins out and the bottom barrel pin is pitted and very black. I’ve cleaned it up twice now and polished the end with some fine grit wet n dry. The last time I did it I shortened the pin by roughly .5ml to see if this would help, but it didn’t. The pin is smooth and rounded with no lips or sharp edges. Something I have noticed though is that the slide that cocks the hammer is stiff on the bottom barrel. I'm not sure of the name of the part. Could this be the cause of the problem? If you click the link and scroll down the page there is a picture of the internals of a Baikal. The internals in my gun look identical even thought this is a different model http://www.sportinggun.co.uk/guns/53011 ... eview.html Help much appreciated.
