Specializing in the Sale, Repair and Restoration of Vintage & Modern Service, Sniper and Historic rifles and accessories.

PLEASE NOTE MY OPENING TIMES ON THE CONTACT PAGE

I am a gunsmith based on the edge of the traditional Market Town of Devizes and my particular interest lies in service and sniper rifles. I have a fully equipped workshop with both hand tools and machines along with the tooling (much made by myself to accomplish particular jobs) to enable me to undertake the vast majority of my work “in house”.

In my sales pages you will find details of firearms and accessories currently in stock. I try to carry a good stock of historically interesting rifles with a particular leaning towards Vintage Lee Enfield’s and their Sniper derivatives. I try to only carry stock that is in particularly fine condition that I would be happy to own and use myself. I am always interested in purchasing similar stock, from individual items to large collections and also offer brokerage, valuation, inspection prior to sale and purchase.

If you are interested in a particular make or model please enter it in the search facility and it will bring up the relevant page if it is available. Any of the pictures on the site are available to view in detail, just click on them and they will appear in a larger size in the centre of the screen.

I offer a truly bespoke and personal service so please contact me with your individual requirements. I have built many heritage recreations of classic sniper rifles and can advise on the practicality and likely cost of such projects.

If you would like to visit to view any of my stock or to discuss a repair, restoration or heritage recreation of a classic sniper rifle it is essential to contact me in my normal hours of business to and arrange an appointment – this will ensure that I will be able to give you the time and attention that you require.

Individual Weapon Sight
(IWS)

Very, very, fine and rare
Individual Weapon Sight (IWS)
in full working order.
A wonderful compliment to
any fine and otherwise complete
L42 setup or of course an L1A1.

Very, very, fine and rare Individual Weapon Sight (IWS) in full working order having recently had a replacement tube, with one of the clearest images I have seen on an IWS. Correct front and rear covers with the rear eyepiece shutter working as it should and contained within its carry case with correct holdall, lens tissues, lens cleaning brush, one good battery, two dead batteries and a full compliment of mounting brackets for L1A1, GPMG, AR15 and Carl Gustav (the mount for the L42A1 is generally kept as part of the L42’s own CES). A wonderful compliment to any fine and otherwise complete L42 setup or of course an L1A1, I don’t see many of these and rarely as complete as this example.

Winchester A5
WW1 Sniper Scope
WD Marked

Gorgeous Winchester A5
WW1 Sniper Telescope.

Gorgeous Winchester A5 WW1 Sniper Telescope. Correct telescope for a Winchester-Whitehead conversion in incredibly clean and original condition with original blueing to the tube and fittings and original red paint in the focus ring graduations (grubby but still there!). Roll-off rings in great condition with original thumb wheels (often missing or replaced and a real sod to make…) and with perfect lenses, correct fine crosshair reticule and great optics. Tube has clear original broad arrow engraved and feint “1915” marked in the finish of the tube, I believe this to be one of the very earliest telescopes mounted by Whitehead brothers in late 1915 as the rings do not have the more common inspectors marks stamped into them and I have seen very few with the classic broad-arrow engraved on the tube. For anyone looking to do (or have done) a Winchester-Whitehead WW1 sniper conversion done it is worth grabbing the scopes whenever you can and this being a WD marked example will add extra kudos to the build….
