Operating out of our combined gun shop and workshop in Hawkhurst, FPC Firearms is a company of trained, experienced gunsmiths. We are one of very few gun shops in the Tunbridge Wells area to sell firearms, and to also repair them in-house. Hobbyists in Kent, Medway and the South East region can also use us for maintenance work. FPC Firearms specialises in shotgun, rifle and air rifle servicing.

Some owners avoid an annual service for their firearms to save money, or because they feel they haven’t had enough use from their models to warrant the work. Our gun shop advises against this and strongly suggests that you book in for shotgun, rifle or air rifle servicing with FPC Firearms at the recommended interval.

In the same way you wouldn’t forget to service your car at a garage in Tunbridge Wells, Kent or Medway, so you should always remember to get your firearm serviced too. A proactive approach to servicing keeps your gun working safely and accurately, increasing its lifespan.

Why is Firearm Servicing so Important?

Your piece has a series of parts and components, many of them made from metal, and these get wet when competing or shooting in the rain. Shotgun, rifle and air rifle cleaning include a thorough clean of these parts and components, lubrication, and a full diagnosis from our gunsmiths to check the wood-to-metal fit and precision of operation. Weak, loose or worn parts could cause your firearm to fail at the worst possible moment.

Imagine one of those special days in the Kent and Medway countryside that surrounds Tunbridge Wells, and missing out on a driven pheasant or other game when your firearm lets you down.

Using our combined gun shop and workshop could save you significant money if our gunsmiths notice any of these issues during a service. FPC Firearms can provide an annual service for boxlock shotguns, sidelock shotguns, over-and-under rifles and more. We also undertake air rifle servicing on a full range of brands and designs.

An annual routine service for our Tunbridge Wells, Kent and Medway customers includes a full strip, clean, washout, reoil and overhaul. We also undertake gun repairs.
