The shooting world has evolved enormously in recent years with game cartridges becoming much faster and heavier. As a result, guns are subjected to far greater wear than ever before, making regular servicing even more critical.

• Strip & Regrease: £300

• Tighten locks and pins: £300

More complex repairs or alterations can be quoted for upon request.

A Strip & Regrease is the minimum essential service for your Purdey gun. The lockwork and forend are removed and a visual inspection of the gun is performed. Any accumulated dirt or grease is removed before the components are regreased and the gun is shot and fully tested.

The locks and forend are fully disassembled and any accumulated dirt or corrosion is removed. A full mechanical inspection of the gun, including the barrels, is carried out before being reassembled, with pins adjusted where necessary, and the components re-greased. The gun is then shot and fully tested.

A Strip & Clean for a gun that is heavily corroded (rusty) might be recommended by our Craftsmen if the mechanism requires special care.

Every shotgun or rifle is stripped down and thoroughly inspected by our senior craftsmen. They produce a comprehensive estimate which includes any mechanical adjustments, repairs or replacements required, which you will receive within two weeks.
