Thread: Real gunsmiths

@gundoc has done some work for me in the past and I am more than happy with what he has done, his knowledge in the rimfire work I required was great.

For my centrefires I've had 4 jobs done by Hugh Bradley, found his work to be superb, no rush jobs, gets things done properly and asks plenty of questions and gives excellent advice, can't recommend him enough. Unsure of his training background.

I've owned rifles built/worked on by Allen Carr and Hugh Bradley. Both top notch smiths.

I've seen, and currently own a stock made by Kevin Gaskell. I can vouch for his expertise.

For quick jobs and great service, I've always gone to Greg Hudson at Custom Guns Invercargill. Great guy - very enthusiastic and passionate, and he can build stocks as well.

Nelson Collie who works next door at Status Guns, is also a fantastic gunsmith. Although I've only had a rifle threaded by him (done to perfection).

similar with gundoc -had work done my my old.303 when he was in brisbane st and all i can say was he did a bloody great job with the rifle ,but also taking time to explain to me(a complete novice) exactly what he was doing and how he went about it. in latter years i had him do some work on a late uncles firearms-again couldnt fault him.
he built a bloody nice 7x57 for a cobber of mine too(unfortunatyely some low bastards theiving paws later nailed it and a walther.22-never recovered)which was a sweet wee shooter.
?greg maclutitis(?spelling) seems popular here in chch likewise of course mr robbie tiffen going by what ive heard on and off from people.but at the end of the day like a lot these days its horses for courses
