wildgoose1uk Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Anyone able to recommend good gun dealers in Kent (preferably Maidstone area)? Should get my sgc in a week or so and want to be ready. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Countryways of west malling, KWG of Ashford and Wilson & Wilson of Ramsgate, There is another but he is too good to mention and is Kents best kept secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnamaniac Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hi I use Country Ways in West Malling alot, especially their shotgun cartridges I don't think you can buy cheaper. Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildgoose1uk Posted April 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) cheers for the info. West Malling is certainly closer than the other two. Intrigued about he who is too good to mention though........ any more info? Edited April 18, 2009 by wildgoose1uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 i've always had very good service at KWG in Ashford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildgoose1uk Posted April 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Ashford is about an hour away from me so not too far. Looking like Country Ways or KWG then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Spencer is the chap at KWG he has all his stock listed on Guntrader so best check on there first will save you a wasted journey to Ashford if there is nothing of interest. Countryways have a smaller stock of rifles but alot of shotguns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilDot Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 KWG is ashford guns. good shop Chris potters at tonbridge is also good Personaly and from others i know i wouldnt touch country ways at west malling! too many bad experiences! Yes you will get the guns cheaper than anywhere else but if it goes wrong dont count on a good service! All places are great when taking your money but not so much when things go wrong. Pay a bit more elsewhere and be happy with the knowledge that they will give good service if its needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have never experienced good service at potters.... & have been in & out of there 5 or 6 times. they should really be the premier gun dealer in the south east, but I think are severely let down.

CZ550Kevlar Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I would dare anyone to challenge this but C & Shoot in Folkestone is the best RFD in Kent, no other place in Kent comes close to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21259 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) spot on kevlar,chris is one of,if not the best in the buisness.No1 gunsmith Edited April 20, 2009 by 21259 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Remember , Chris O is a very busy man and you have to be patient, something a lot of gun owners find difficult. Country Way will give you a better deal than any of the other Gunshops in Kent and KWG don't impress me at all. Its all a matter of personal opinion and experience.

CZ550Kevlar Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Never had that problem with Chris, he has always found time to help me out at the last minute and quickly if i need it and ask, I bought 2 rifles from him last week and he said as he always has that "if something goes wrong with the rifle he will sit me down with a cup of tea and sort it out until it is fixed". You couldn`t ask for a nicer chap, but yes he is always very busy and not the quickest but this is due to how much work he gets and people don`t mind waiting abit longer knowing that Chris has sorted everything with a fine tooth comb not just the original problem you came in with.

I agree with every word you say, but my comment was timely, as you will find shooters that complain that Chris takes time to do things and little boys waiting for their toys can be very impatient. He is mending a gun for me at the moment and I know he is "snowed under", so I will wait, because it will be the best repair, at the best price in the SE.

CZ550Kevlar Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Shhhh don`t say too much else every ****** will be down there. There`s a good chance i saw your gun Friday. While i was there people were phoning and saying how much longer would he be and people saying the time quoted would be too long, personally i`m the same as you i`m willing to wait a little bit for quality.
