Tampa area tuners/technicians

[Keith2324]

Hello everyone. I'm trying to find out if there are any airgun tuners in the Tampa area. I have an M3 which needs to be worked on and really don't want to chance it getting damaged in shipping. Another option will be to try and set up an appointment with Palm Beach Airguns and see if I can drive over and have it worked on while I wait. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can tell you that shipping won't be an issue. I've had guns sent to me in the factory case with zip ties to keep it closed. No damage or theft. Granted, I would suggest double boxing with plenty of stuffing. If you schedule the repair with PB you might get it fixed that day, but if they are a small shop like the one I work for, it's not a guarantee. I understand it can be difficult shipping a few thousand dollars in goods if it's a special item to you. But please understand everything you have has been shipped at least once, if not multiple times before you've taken custody.

you might need to drop off and pick up later (Few days or weeks ? ) I am doing that right now 3 hour drive drop off /when it is ready i will drive again That's 6 round round trip but it is an antique gun .

Thanks for the replies. I'm kind of an old school guy. I would rather make the drive and look a person in the face and have a conversation. Plus I really don't like to trust the gorillas at the shipping companies if I can help it.

I’ve shipped hundreds of guns and only had 2 problems. Lots of great information on this site about pros and cons of shippers and how to pack and box a gun for shipping so that doesn’t need to be addressed here. I will strongly suggest that you DO NOT ship a gun this time of year so close to the holidays since the temporary workers are inept gorillas for the most part.
