Whether you shoot a Perazzi, Beretta, Browning, or your favourite old boxlock or sidelock, if it’s looking tired or a bit loose, it is always cheaper to renovate than replace. I offer a free quotation for all your gunsmithing requirements.

INTRODUCTION

My name is Tim Greenwood, and I have been a gunsmith for the last 28 years. I live near Tunbridge Wells in Kent, the South East corner of England and undertake action, stock and barrel work in my fully equipped workshop for both private individuals and the trade. I am the main gunsmith for Chris Potter guns of Tunbridge Wells, probably the largest retailer in the south east and have recently become the only independent gunsmith to be registered as a trade member with the C.P.S.A. (Clay Pigeon Shooting Association).

Before I go any further, let me explain that I am not a retailer. I do not sell guns, cartridges or any other shooting paraphernalia. I am a gunsmith. I fit, repair, renovate and custom grade shotguns for clay pigeon shooters and game shooters.

Over the last 28 years, I have been surprised by the lack of information available to shooters about gunsmiths and the services they can offer, hence this website.

As you can see, there are different banners down the right hand side of the page and across the top. Please take the time to click on these and explore, and, if there is anything else that you would like to know, please leave me a message on my contact page, or phone me if you would like me to undertake some work for you.

This website is very much a “Work in progress”, which I will update as frequently as possible. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy putting it all together.

Tim.
