There used to be a guy in ardee sports (David Brennans place) who was very highly recommended. Cant for the life of me think of his name. Brennans where the main beretta dealer for a long time so he should have plenty of experience

Are you having any issues at the moment with the shotgun or do you just want a service?
I will be setting up a workshop in the coming weeks and would be happy to do it if you dont get sorted by then.

It will be great to have the services of a fully trained gunsmith in Ireland.
Will you be doing any rifle work like rebarreling ?

If you can't get hold of Tony Curran (one of the best around) try Walter Blacklaw he services Berettas on behalf of GMK.
Did a great job on my Perazzi MX2000 and my DT10. He's based down near Waterford but is in Dublin on a regular basis.
