I have been shooting for nearly 5 years and known Chris and his wife the same. I buy all my rifles and will continue to buy more,ammo and bits from him even though FRSports are at a much closer distance.
At times he offers an out of office service (within reason i.e not Xmas day!) how many gunsmiths offer that ?
IMHO nobody can touch him with the volume of Milsurps, hence why I am there a lot !
Also a good friendly service , treats me like a friend and for that I gladly plug C&G on my YT videos.
Great guy

Visited Chris for the first time last week after a pleasant email inquiry about ammunition.
Very friendly and knowledgeable bloke and as mentioned his place is an absolute treasure trove. Will certainly be going back.
His Delisle Carbines are a work of art too.

Re: C&G Firearms
Very nice people, very good service. I have visited Chris today to get a load of ammo for the Ak and the Nagant. The visit lasted 4 hours after he invited me in the workshop. I can not recommend them enough. Good stock and fair prices.

Re: C&G Firearms
Should that not be 7.62x25 for the Nagant.

Errr.......no, the 7.62x25 Tokarev was used in the TT-30/TT-33 family of pistols and Soviet submachine guns such as the PPD-40, PPSh-41, and PPS-43 and the Russian PP-19 Bizon.
The M1895 Nagant revolver was chambered for the 7.62x38r and was unique in the fact it was the only firearm chambered for that round, apart from a few experimental submachine guns developed by Fedor Tokarev but none of these were accepted for service.

Re: C&G Firearms
I am so sorry Snayperskaya. I was referring to the 91/30 nagant. However all ammo including the milsurp 7.62x39 was OK. Not corrosive

You mean a 91/30 Mosin!!!Asgard wrote:I am so sorry Snayperskaya. I was referring to the 91/30 nagant. However all ammo including the milsurp 7.62x39 was OK. Not corrosive
No self respecting Russian would utter the word "Nagant" in the same breathe as Mosin!
....... That said the Russian military never officially called the rifle a "Mosin" or "Mosin Nagant", it is referred to in all Russian military literature and manuals etc as the Three-Line Rifle, Model 1891and was known colloquially by Russian troops as the Vintovka Mosina or Mosins Rifle.
In fact by the time the 91/30 came about the magazine spring attached to the magazine base plate is the only contribution of Nagant to all rifles after 1930.
