Mr grumpy Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Fawcetts are proper gunsmiths and not just a gunshop.bit of a treck for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I wouldn’t know who to recommend nowadays, unless it’s woodwork you want doing? Tom Rosling ( Sykes of Penrith ) isn’t a well man at the moment, and I’m not sure what sort of work he undertook anyhow. I met a bloke at Ian’s ( Lakeland Guns) when last there who said he was starting up on his own as a gunsmith, so maybe you could give Ian a call? I have no idea who he uses. Ditto for Gardners Guns just outside Carlisle. There is Derek Gardner of Little Strickland, although his main trade is blacksmithing and farrier work, so not sure how that translates into gunsmithing. Fawcetts are proper gunsmiths if their workshop is anything to go by, which isn’t too far from Cockermouth; ( a bit closer actually since they moved) a quick run along the A66 and an even quicker one down the M6. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they ( Westlands ) have a few posts online regarding various guns, but with everything that’s going on I haven’t heard whether any of the above has happened, nor indeed if it still will. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belly will run it until up and going but has been bought by Westlands. Not sure long term situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
