What Does a Professional Armoury Service Include?

Firearms are precision instruments that require regular maintenance and, from time to time, specialist engineering work. Whether you are a professional user relying on your equipment in demanding conditions or a sporting shooter who values accuracy and reliability, access to a competent armoury service is important.

Factory-Trained Armourers

GJW Engineering's armoury team provides a comprehensive range of engineering services, staffed by factory-trained armourers with certifications from manufacturers including Glock, Heckler & Koch, Benelli, and Victrix Armaments. This factory training ensures that work is carried out to the manufacturer's specification, using approved procedures and genuine parts.

Routine Maintenance and Servicing

Routine maintenance is the foundation of reliable firearm performance. A professional service typically includes a thorough inspection, cleaning, lubrication, and function check. For firearms in regular use, periodic servicing helps identify wear before it affects performance or safety.

Advanced Engineering Work

Beyond routine servicing, our armoury handles more complex engineering tasks. This includes trigger mechanism work, barrel fitting and replacement, bedding and stock modifications, sight and optic mounting, and action work including timing, headspacing, and bolt face truing. Each of these services requires specialist knowledge and precision tooling.

Warranty and Manufacturer Support

As an authorised service centre for several leading manufacturers, GJW Engineering is able to carry out warranty repairs and factory-standard refurbishment work. This is particularly relevant for professional users and organisations that need to maintain equipment to a documented standard for operational or audit purposes.

How to Arrange a Service

Clients can send or deliver firearms to our secure facility on the Isle of Man, or we can arrange collection through our logistics division. All work is quoted in advance, and clients are kept informed throughout the process. On completion, firearms are function-tested before being returned.

For firearms that deserve professional care, GJW Engineering's armoury service provides the expertise and facilities to keep your equipment performing at its best.
