J.R. Firearms

J.R. Firearms is a registered firearms dealer based near Dunstable, just off the M1 motorway, on the border of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Hertfordshire. Owner J.

In-stock barrels for quick turnaround. Custom or non-standard barrels require longer lead times as they're fitted into manufacturers' production schedules—they won't quote delivery times on these.

"Accuracy Is Our Aim" - their stated philosophy on custom rifle building

All gunsmithing on semi-custom and complete builds (including barrel fluting) is done in-house. Most custom rifles are proofed at Birmingham Proof House in person, though this adds to the final price.
