About Me
About Island Gunsmith
Hello, my name is Tommy Bonnet, and my SASS alias is El Q Jones. I'm a retired railroader, and have been interested in gunsmithing my whole life. I also enjoy collecting and preserving/restoring antique firearms.
After completing FSCJ's Machinist degree program and earning American Gunsmithing Institute's cowboy action and law enforcement armorer certifications, I acquired machine equipment and opened my shop in September 2017. I am a fully licensed gunsmith in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
I am also a semi-competitive shooter, so I am well acquainted with accuracy & reliability/tuning work. From basic gunsmithing, to custom projects or restorations, I can help you make your gun just the way you want it.
UPDATE AUGUST 2018
My Facebook page is now linked to the page here, check it out to see what I do project by project. Everything from cleaning to custom; I never know what will come in the door - every day is a surprise. Stop by and say hi on Facebook !!!
Fine sporting guns and collectibles
I enjoy restoring and recreating firearms of the past, and the processes used to manufacture them.
Modern guns
I also clean & repair, modify, and customize modern firearms. Let me make your gun the best it can be.
