    When you say Gun, do you mean Shotgun or Rifle?

    Fergal is very good and a pleasant fella to deal with. Best is to listen to his advice.
    He even drove out to the Midlands range on our Sunday shoot to collect my rifle off me that he'll re-barrel. Will be ready in a few days, that's service.

    Had Fergal fettle two rifles for me so far, re-crowns and trigger also stock and am very happy with his wok and time frame also his prices are more than fair.

    I'm surprised no-one has commented on his skills with Chinese food yet! :D

    Back on topic:
    Fergal has done a couple of small jobs for me and I know plenty of people who've had work done, and I have yet to hear a bad word about the man or his work.
    A big 'Thumbs Up' from me too.

    Just as well we are all so perfect, eh.:rolleyes::D

    Agree with ya on Fergal though. There was even a thread here a few days ago about a lad looking for help with a magazine problem. Apparently Fergal seen the thread, rang him, and helped him out.

    Was down with him the other day discussing a possible project, and spent the evening watching him do a barrel on a .243 (sound familiar poulo6.5 :D).

    +1 for Fergal.

    Did great work for a friend of mine on his .223 semi and has just threaded and recrowned a 10/22 for me. Great workmanship.

    If I was lucky enough to live in Ireland there is absolutely no reason to go anywhere else in the world for a custom gun.

    You have no idea how lucky you are to have such a skill-base right there at home.
