The various Forum haven't helped so far! Who is the chap in Deddington please, do you have contact details, I'm Oxford way quite a bit!

No, there are a limited number of carriers who can deal with FAC. But..... that's another reason why I want someone reasonably close so I can do face to face handover and have a chat!!

Sign up to the rapid forum, some great fellas on there all the advice, parts and instructions you need . Rich Nope, I can strip/build, rimfires/centrefires/shotguns/pistols all day long, but for some reason I'm nervous, and simply don't want to service PCP. I've tried various forums and several people have kindly offered support if I want to do it myself, but this job is not for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feelings as well, it did surprise me though, they have an in house gunsmith and advertise all gun servicing, inc. PCP. They are also a half decent and large RFD, with seemingly a large stock!

This may well be an issue as work would have to be done while I waited. Nothing is simple, this could be a deal breaker!! Any other ideas from anyone?
