Tim Greenwood Gunsmith - gun fitting and more!

[Fuzrat]

I reckon a good test of fit was the steep away teal at Gunsite last time. I was right behind a decent A class guy who missed 3. Although he's usually deadly on crossing targets I could see he always off to the right on that teal. It was his usual gun, so either his mount was off tune or the fit was screwed.

My fit must be spot on as I dusted that stand for a straight although tbh my gun was shooting a bit high giving me dropping crosser problems

It's surprising how a straight shot like that can be missed when the gun is only a fraction off to the side. The break point must have been about 40yds so the pattern would be huge but maybe only the centre had enough pellets for an edge on going away.

I mashed all those too but of course my guns always fit me. Does that mean I'm pefectly formed?

Or your guns are...

I have seen a few examples of Tim's work and have to say they are first class.

I spoke to him last January (2011) to try and arrange a date in March for me to go down for him to look at my fit, as it worked out he couldn't give me a date and finally asked for my number and said he would call me nearer the time. Still waiting now but to be fair it was only a basic job that needed doing (supply and fit a Jones Adjuster plus Kickeez but that wasn't recommended by him.

In the end I got a second hand but new Jones for £30 and a lightly used Kick-Eez for £16 of ebay and fitted it myself, it would have been nice to have used a workshop but removed the majority with a flap disk on the angle grinder then filed it to accurate, then, emery, wet and dry etc to finish.

Funny how it seems to work though, isn't it?

When I cut a finger, I use a plaster - should I just let it bleed because plasters are so passé! If it's the right tool for the job, why not use it?

 

[FieldandClay]

I would not use a plaster for everything. Sometimes a cut needs stitches!

.........a spot of superglue in the right place an be a pretty good quick fix sometimes!!!
