Abilene Gun Works

Im not one to usually right a review, but the gentlemen at Abilene Gun Works are great. Very welcoming and great hospitality. I tried to replace my bead on my SX3 Winchester with a truglo high viz sight for those low light conditions. When I put the pilers to the bead it just crushed the either plastic or lead white bead. There was no way to remove it with out drilling it out. Figuring Id probably end up doing more damage to the gun trying the work myself I started looking for a gunsmith since Long Acres gunsmith is no more. I just stopped at B&B pawn hoping they might be able to assist. They told me to head up the street to Abilene gun works. Upon entering the shop I was greeted and explained my situation. Knowing how a lot of gunsmith(specially the only one in town now) are usually always backed up with work I was worried they wouldnt be able to get it fixed before my shoot that was 3 days away. They looked it over took the barrel to the press and asked if Id like the shotgun Taken a part and throughly cleaned as well. I said sure and with in a hour or so I was out the door with a new bead sight installed and an immaculately cleaned shotgun. What took them about 50 mins to clean would haveTaken me a couple of hours and wouldnt have been near as clean as them putting the components in what looks like a big deeper fryer for 15 mins or so. Those components came out looking brand new. Pricing was great as well, definitely worth the visit even if to Just browse the guns for sale.

Made phone call after phone call to try and get a bipod added to my rifle and couldnt even get a call back after over a week just to get a price. Never did get any help from either guy I talked to. Friend of mine used them and said their work was good but he dropped his gun off in October to get a muzzle break put on it and didnt get it back u til March. Wouldnt recommend if you want anything done in a short window, its like waiting on a taxidermist to mount a trophy or longer.

Tim and the personnel at Abilene Gun Works are the best! I have had two firearms repaired and he did while I waited. Quality fast work!
