tungsten Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 If you are in Brum then take it down to the Gun Quater; Price St and have a word with-G M Cruxton 55 Price Street Birmingham West Midlands B4 6JZ Yes I am in Brum. Is this a general shop or a workshop? I take it you have some good experiences of this company?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 He is a stocker by trade but has done some absolutely brilliant re-blacking jobs for me (traditional cold blacking) and he is a “Gunsmith” and not just a monkey in a shop, and will service your shotgun for you no trouble. He has just threaded my Tikka for me for £30 (un-proofed) but unfortunately his engineer, who does the actual cutting for him, has terminal cancer and won’t be doing any more…..bloody shame as he is a decent man. He is at the rear of Collin Wild’s place. Just go up the steel staircase and ring the bell with his name on it. Don’t know what he charges but he won’t rip you off and do a poor job. G.M.

seeker Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Google 'Gunsmiths in Price Street Birmingham' .. Its a slice of gunmaking history. I suspect the quality, values and craftmanship are as original as the buildings. I had some work done by Colin Wild (Benjamin Wild & sons 1860) - also at 55 - and it was a pleasure just to go there.
