In no particular order.

David Slade - https://www.airgunwerks.com/tunes.html

@scottblair if he is still in business

Steve at Pomona Airguns - https://www.pomona-airguns.com

FYI, Dave is very expensive! He will also not use any aftermarket parts, such as springs and guides.

At this poit, I prefer a brick and motor operations for specific purposes... I could do the deburing myself but, the tear down and reassembly would be sketchy... I have heard great things about Slade and he has been doing this for a while, but I have my concerns since (at least to me he is a cootage indutry) does he have a verified store front? ot  not?

 

And I have used Pomona back in the yellow forum days, it is not the same noe in mt honest opinion...

 

Anymore?

@teleamp Most of my repairs went to Pilkguns or David Slade.  Try Umarex airguns.  Whomever you choose, WRITE DOWN the SERIAL NUMBER of the gun and TAKE A PHOTO OF IT.  Then you have some legal recourse  in small claims.   Same thing happens with car repair shops. You learn real fast who to stay away from.

You might want to try contacting Ed Kryznowek (ekmeister on this forum).

I had David Slade tune a 97 for me, while he did a good job, I had no say so, he tuned the way he wanted it.

I have used John in PA ever since and would highly recommend him. 

He will tune the gun how you want it and stand behind his work 100%, not all tuners will do that.

He is not a brick and motor store, but has tuned hundreds of spring guns.
