We are a family run business specialising in the retail of airguns, CO2 guns, shotguns & firearms, including related clothing & accessories. We pride ourselves on customer service & honest business practices which we believe to be the most important aspect of our business.
Our business has been established since 1985 when Tim & Janet McAvoy (Partners of the business) opened T & J. J. McAvoy Gunsmiths on High Street in Standish. Tim McAvoy had previously worked in the gun trade from 1972 where he started with just a Saturday job & his interest & knowledge of guns went from strength to strength.
Along with their three daughters, Tim & Janet McAvoy have worked hard to grow the business & establish their well known name. We pride ourselves in offering a friendly service, many people have been returning customers since the business was first launched & we fully appreciate their loyalty & friendship throughout these many years.
The amount of stock we hold is immense, with over 3500 guns in stock at any one time, plus tens of thousands of accessories, and ammunition has meant that we have outgrown our store located on High Street in Standish. In November 2011 we opened the doors to our new store at 'The Dog & Cartridge' 33 School Lane in Standish. Our new store provides much more space than our previous store, improved display areas, Hot drinks vending machine, customer parking, air conditioning & much more!
We now have eleven shop assistants; Tim, Janet, Amy, Hannah, Sally, Mark, Dave, Natalie, Ian, Liam & Phil
