Well I'll be blowed.

I'm jealous

 

[Shaun Hopkins]

I may be selling my Perazzi. I can just hear the gun dealer now: "Ah.. Some lovely character in that stock. Let me offer you top dollar"

  Oh and what Lovely buffed fireing pins you have sir have another £50  :spiteful:

 

[Ashley]

If it was my Miroku i would repair with a suitable colour match wax stick but on a perazzi i would give it to the experts although in Will's case the cost of repair would have to be lower then the amount being knocked off when selling obviously :spiteful:

Spot on Shaun, thats exactly my thoughts, and if wills gun is worth that kind of money a home job is out of the question,

But in the case I was talking about melting crayons, the gun was probably worth £600

Cool, a pro has arrived!!

How do we do it then? Cut a sliver out and blend in a bit?

Hello?

Be nice if you could pass on some knowledge, Mr Brook Bank, or is it all "secret squirrel" ?

I don't have an apprentice, so I'm not passing on any secrets of my trade. I would however not recommend your method.

I am a gunsmith who specialised my training in stocking, working both for the trade and directly with customers of Brook Bank.

Have had the same happen to my SC3 a couple of times now and it breaks my heart. To some it may just be a 'tool' but it's a bloody expensive one. I've always looked after my kit and come trade-in time have done pretty well over the years. My last Perazzi I shot for half a decade and got £500 less than what I paid for it. 

Try that with a gun that has a lot of 'character'.

DT, what I usually do is take a cotton bud that's been soaked in water and press that into the ding. Then get a hairdryer and apply some low heat, alternate this and pretty much all the ding will rise up. Then I just polish out over time with bees wax.

Seem's to work for me, best of luck.

So what you are saying, is, it is all secret squirrel and you didn't come on this forum to help anyone, just criticise.
That's fair enough, so long as we know now.

I hope I've helped by suggesting if someone requires professional advice, they seek a professional.

 

[Figgy]

And if there looking for a ok fix at home what do you suggest ?

Coloured wood wax will blend the damage in so its not so noticeable.

 

[** Pending Removal **]

Think the point is....if you are bothered or finicky about your gun then a professional job is 10 time better than a DIY botch up.

But hey.....the choice is yours...if you have a ding....

Well yes, certainly and I would agree , in the absence of a suitable alternative.

Though it is not so much "help", as it is "stating the obvious".

It does however, make for a dull conversation (on any subject) if the response is always, "ask a professional". Hence why we offer up, hints and ideas of possible avenues to persue...as well as "maybe ask a pro".



Hey look, here comes Larry Potterfied (with Midway USA)!!!

 

[Dog Tyred]

Blimey! thanks for all the sympathy and suggestions, some of which I will investigate further including seeking a professional.

To make matters worse my car was also struck in three places by large clay fragments so I have about 30 deep chips in the white paint. As I was parked in the car park I'd like to thank the pillock that set the nearest stand up so the broken clays fell into the car park. Car was parked there for no more than five minutes before someone told me about it but damage already done. Numerous other cars suffered the same fate.

Couple of signs (disclaimers denying any responsibility for damage caused by falling clays) means the ground is in the clear.

All in all a really Shiite day.

As much as the disclaimer sign would certainly help their case it isn't that clear cut, a sign will never eliminate their responsibility if indeed they have set it up in such a way that it's likely to cause damage to property!

 

[Wonko the Sane]

Went to my local club this morning to shoot the two-man flush and came away with this little beauty for my trouble!

Not sure that one's going to polish out

DT

Unfortunate for sure, but prolly what you deserve for hanging about with that lot

know what I mean     :spiteful:

DT, the important thing here is that no matter what the sign says, you cannot disclaim for negligence. If they were negligent in setting the stand up so as to allow broken clays to fall on patrons vehicles the signs don't mean diddley.

Give them a call explaining this and let them know you will be forwarding the estimate for repairs.

agree totally! 

 

[Les53]

Well Greg, I would give it to a pro to sort out mate! Wes (Brook Bank)knows his stuff, a good stock man will always do a better job than we amateurs, even though I've done a little stock finishing, it still pays to give it to a pro for a first class job mate!

Ps...stay away from any discipline where bits of clay can come towards you, your gun or your car!!!

 

[Skeet UK]

My car suffered a similar mishap at a ground, got covered it bits of clay.

It polished up OK, but I was pissed at first . . .

Sorry to hear about that, chips will obviously need painting but most dents can be lifted easily and cheaply and you wouldn't know they were there.
