[jonty102 0]

Hi all I am new on here, I have a gun that I inherited from my grandfather its a W.J.Jeffery 12/b thats about all I can tell you I know it was checked over and I was told it was well in proof! which I guess it means its ok to shoot? its rather dirty although parts of the wood seem to have a nice variety of colours, the barrels are a kind of brown colour and have a wavy pattern on them, I would love to restore this gun to its former glory but I do not want to get ripped off can anyone suggest the best place to go to get everything done? if I can find the right place I would be most happy thanks in advance love the site

I use WWW.ukgunrepairs.co.uk.

I have found them to be first class and reasonable. Why not drop them an email, I'm sure you wont be disapointed.

Could be a nice gun; good maker and sounds like Damascus barrels. Might pay you to do nothing at all with it until you've positvely identified what it is specifically - you don't want to be running the risk of ruining valuable historic features for no reason.

 

Can you post some pics?

Yes a couple of pictures would be good. Is it a hammer gun? Given to the right people to restore properly would sound like doing your grandad's memory a service.

Hi there i would definitely ping an email off to UK gunrepairs they have all the resources to bring this gun back to its former glory. I have had work done by them and would not go to anyone else now. Take a look at their web site i think you will see they are more than capable of doing what is required.
