We still swage many obsolete bullets from .297/230 to .577 snider and can make custom weight bullets for several calibres.
Large brass stocks.
Reloading items.
The Bullet Cache has been trading for 30+ years and was started by Robin Shafe. We initially specialised in Obsolete calibre bullets and supplies slowly spreading out into more mainstream services.
Now run by Chris Shafe and ably assisted by Colin, Emma and Jacob, The Bullet Cache continues to grow and now provides services beyond our locality via the online marketplace.
We are not like a modern gun shop with a wall of Berettas, a wall of Brownings etc, every corner has something; Savage rifles in the rack next to Blanch shotguns next to GSG semi autos and wildfowling pieces!
Our stock is regularly changing and includes the old and unusual right up to current trends. We pride ourselves on the great collection of interesting items available onsite.
We still work from home with our dedicated Gun room, Storage room and Loading room providing a relaxed atmosphere and fulfilling our customers needs just the way that Robin did all those years ago.
We hope to see you soon.

I recently completed an on line purchase of an antique Boxlock pistol from Chris and based on my experience I would thoroughly recommend him and his business. He dealt with all my queries in a polite and efficient manner and when it arrived, the pistol was as described on the website and in excellent condition. Also the packaging and delivery could not have been better. A great buying experience. Thank you Chris.

I was recommended to Chris by another gun shop in Maidstone as I had a particular request for some help buying my first shotgun on a budget.
I booked in to see him over the phone, and visited Chris a couple of weeks back and he was super helpful and understanding with all my wants and needs. Answering any questions I had and helping me pick out my first shotgun.
Truly a gem and he's since offered to help me further, can't recommend him enough.

I perchanced 2 guns from Chris in September both in amazing condition and very well priced. Chris was very very friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome in his home it is a very relaxed atmosphere. I can't fault him in any way and will be buying from him again. CHEERS Chris 👍🏻
