Gunsmithing - GunFit
At Conyers we have our own workshop on site gunsmith.
Cyril Gordon with 60+ yrs experience in the shooting and fishing industry is a well respected knowledge of all guns and actions from percussion cap pistols to the newest Purdey, having been involved in the production of Arthur Conyers Guns, which were very affordable guns, of which most parts were made on site and assembled.
Cyril took over from Jeff Spearing and has run the workshop since. He is on site everyday and is always keen to look at new and old guns out of interest, and will talk clients through the work needed on there own guns.
For any large jobs that Cyril cannot handle we use a local gunsmith Micheal Rainback. From servicing to full rebuild and blueing of barrels, all is carried out with old fashioned precision, and cost.
We cannot over-emphasise the importance of good gun-fit. The correct relationship between eye and muzzle;
consideration of eyesight and build; consistently correct gun mounting, all these mean that the gun will work for you and not against you.
Gun-fitting is as much an art as a science. It requires the astute and acute observation of our fitters with many years of experience.
All of our instructors carry with them, various tools to enable, us to fit your gun or a hired gun to you on the day.
Our pattern plates enable us to observe clients' shooting techniques and then fine-tune gun measurements on a variety of different shots.
The fitting culminates with a card detailing your own individual measurements, recognised by all the gun-makers.
All gun fitting adjustments can be done by our in house gunsmith at Conyers.
