That is good news, now you have been reunited with your beloved weaponry do not feel tempted to test it on their noggins, could damage the stock....

hi just a quick question i took my rifle in to my local gun shop to be chrono i left it there so they could have a look at it been told that it wont go much more powerful if they sorted it so decided to go and pick it up and when i asked for it they cant find it so how do i stand if they have lost it i have the receipt cheers DM

hmm all very strange, a GUN SHOP loosing a gun..... i bet the local Firearms dept would be interested....

i also agree, go in and explain that although they believe it to only be worth 50 quid, you know what it was and to buy a new one it would cost a total of.....(rifle,sights, extras you had etc etc). Then say that you feel it would only be fair if they would give you that total to choose a new set up from their stock at cost value. That way you get a new rifle and are suitably compensated, they dont make any profit from the transaction but apart from time no one would be out of pocket. If they dont go for it then say you have no choice to call the police and trading standards.

hi bud pleased you got the rifle back but eny rifle that is custom built can cost a fortune(be it built by your mate or a f.a.d) they probably had some one offer them good money on it and tryed to pull a fast one on you all in all not the right thing to do name and shame and stop it happening to some one els who may not be so lucky atbmac

Give them every opportunity to replace your rifle at the earliest possibility. Regardless of age or condition, it was a complete and working rifle when it went in and, by accepting it to service it, they have made a legally binding, contract of duty to fulfil their promise and return your rifle with the agreed work completed.

 

I would give them the chance to make good their promise and replace if not return the rifle...

 

....or it's the police who will be dealing with them.

 

End Of!
