Gunsmith Services
Mulliners has its own fully equipped workshop to deal with all your requirements, from a simple service to a full rebuild of your pride and joy which will be conducted in house by our factory trained gunsmith catering for all makes of gun with special interest and knowledge of guns from German Makers.
Blaser Service
Although we have serviced and rebuilt guns from most makers over the years, we have since 2010 been catering almost exclusively for Krieghoff and Blaser owners and the Blaser dealer network with service, rebuild and update of Blaser shotguns. This has entailed regular visits to the Blaser factory in Germany to pass on our own practical findings during the use, servicing and rebuilding of Blaser shotguns which have been used out on the clay range and in the game field to assist with product development.
To date, during the service and update we have stripped and rebuilt over 5,000 Blaser shotguns in our service workshop, so it is safe to say that we are not only the most experienced Blaser service workshop in the UK, but as the sole independent Blaser factory approved UK service workshop, there can be no better place to trust with your pride and joy.
To have your Blaser worked on at Mulliners you can have it sent to us via your local RFD (Gunshop) or you can visit our workshop and hand deliver your gun, but please make an appointment before you visit.
Please see below for options and current charges for typical services and adjustments.
Blaser F3 Shotgun Service – Full strip, clean, check and rebuild with new service item parts:
A service on a Blaser F3 is recommend every two years or every 25k rounds and includes exchange of all standard service item parts such as firing pins, firing pin return springs, main springs, ejector springs and lock pins, top lever plunger assy, sear and catch springs, so is a full strip and rebuild and not just a basic clean and new firing pins service offered by some
gunsmiths.
At Mulliners your Blaser gets a full strip down of the receiver and barrel ejectors to its last component with all parts thoroughly cleaned, measured and inspected for wear and any sign of fatigue. It is then fully assembled with new standard wear item parts using the very same tooling and fixtures as used by the Blaser factory for the gun’s original assembly, with all parts being lubricated with the correct greases, oils and lubricants in all the critical areas for optimum performance and reliability.
The complete receiver assembly is then tested and certified to the factory standards to ensure that the trigger sear engagement, release pressure and trigger pull weights are to within factory standard limits and that the safety sear, inertia block, barrel selector, safety catch, top lever/lock assembly, firing pins, ejector cocking, lock and actuation pins are functi
oning correctly and to within factory specification. The barrel with rebuilt ejectors is then fitted to the receiver, the forearm tension is then adjusted, the ejector timing is set and lastly the headspace and lock are checked. No other company in the UK can offer this level of service for your Blaser F3 or F16 shotgun.
