Gunsmith Heroes

Welcome to a new bit of the greenwood gunsmith website. This is dedicated to you, the shooters who have come to me as customers of my gunsmithing service, and have become my friends.

Mr Gordon Lee
The Red Baron, with his amazing Krieghoff.

I have had the privilege of undertaking various gunsmithing jobs over the years, including stock work, barrel work and some of the gold work. It is truly a “one off”.

As Gordon say’s “When I miss, I miss with style”. Love it or hate it, it is an incredible gun. Many years ago, I helped design and perfect the release trigger unit.

The gun actually fires when the trigger is released, not when it is pulled as Gordon suffers from trigger freeze.

The gun and Gordon can be seen at Dartford clay club.

Tracy Meston

From one of my oldest customers and friend (sorry Gordon, not referring to your age), to one of my newest customers and, hopefully, a friend. This is Tracy Meston, head coach and owner of Frock Stock and Barrel, the company based in Essex but covering the South East, specialising in clay pigeon coaching and organising clay pigeon events.

Although have only known Tracy a short time, I have to say that I have already been very impressed with both her knowledge and professionalism. It’s always good to meet people with as much passion for helping people to improve their shooting as I have. P.s. Yes, she does look kind of scary from this end of the gun, but honestly, she isn’t, unless you are a clay!!!!

ACTION WORK
There are many little jobs that could come under this heading. Most of them would be carried out when the gun is serviced, including tightening the barrels to the action, replacing worn springs, firing pins, light trigger pulls.
