Tim has more knowledge about air guns , air gun competitions, air gun building and any technical aspects of any air gun. I could listen to him all day. Amazing knowledge really knows his stuff and backs it up with his success. After talking to him, I decided to purchase one of his custom built Mac one air pistols can't wait to shoot it. Great guy. read more

Great reputation in the past, but seems unwilling or unable to communicate with customers these days.

Today I received my Crossman Skannaker from Mac1. It was returned to me in the box I shipped it to him without it even being opened and looked at. Thank God I got it back, I have put up with so many bullshit stories on why it was "in the queue" that I honestly couldn't remember them all. I have had this in his shop for literally 3 1/2 years. I would call and get excuse after excuse and actually be blamed for taking up too much time on the phone. I was sure it was gone forever. Dont put yourself through the agony. Find a better shop somewhere else. I can finally remove him from my contacts. read more

Tim has had a gun and parts of mine for 2 years. No contact from Tim or eagerness to return what is mine.

Friendly people hand and Carlos both are fair people very knowledgeable with PCP. Air Gun's definitely check them out.

Have a Sheridan that Tim Steroided built for me with Billet handle. One of my pride and joys! Love it. Will pass it down. Will only use Secret Sauce on. No need to pump to 14 but will do it all day, 6 will do - Store with 4, outstanding work. It was worth every penny. Hoping this kind of experience is passed on and not lost forever. This man gets bad reviews when most of you don't know that he tries to have a life too. He's a one-man band. He has forgotten more then you will ever know. He used to answer the phone when he had a chance, in-between building custom parts, rifles, and competition shooting. Happy Shooting. Thanks Tim read more

happy with rebuild of both a blue streak and c9a ss steroid, 6 years ago, reasonable turn around. may send back for valve work on ss if they r still n business.. read more

Mac 1 Airgun Distributors - Mo fun and 3 tack drivers - Guns & Ammo Near Me - Signal Hill, California

I have bought four air guns from Tim and he modified my Crosman silverstreak. I am very pleased with these guns, they are a work of art. Tim is probably the best air gun modifier in our country. These guns shoot hard and are very accurate. I know they will last and be inherited by my children. HH read more

Tim is the best! He brought back a Heirloom for me while I waited, watched and learned, he machined a old worn part to like new and presto! The air gun my dad bought me 40 years ago is working and fun again! Thanks Tim! read more

Sent them a Crosman 760 Pumpmaster that I had bought as a a kid just after they first came out in 1966 that had been sitting for a long time and no longer pumped up. Took 6 weeks which is fine in this Covid era and it works as new. Sure, I could have bought a new one, (actually two), albeit with a plastic stock instead of the original's wood but that's hardly the point. The $90 total to bring a treasured item from my youth back to full working order was a pittance. read more

This past Friday I brought my Benjamin Super Streak high powered break barrel air gun rifle of which I have owned for the last 15 years so of course it has sentimental value. I just had it repaired by an authorized Crosman/Benjamin dealer in San Diego. The rifle is now perfectly working fine but I couldnt get the Scope to zero in so I figured to go local and bring it to MAC1 to zero it out with new Scope in hand. I have been there before. To literally watch the owner (Tim) take apart the barrel, and literally drop small parts on the most cluttered shop floor without him even noticing that he was dropping parts and then literally losing them was simply appalling. It was actually quite sad. I then grabbed my rifle, though completely dismantled and missing parts, of which Tim rendered unsusable and I left. I wanted to scream. He obviously saw the warranted dissatisfaction on my face and as I was walking to my car, he stated in a concerend voice "Good Luck". I literally threw my rifle in the trash bin when I got home due to frustration and decided to buy a new one. Anyway...this is not a vindictive review but a "BE VERY AWARE" for Its obvious the business is suffering. If it were my guess, the owner (Tim) is battling some deep personal issues. May be time to retire. read more

I sent Tim a cherished MINT CONDITION 1972 Sheridan C-series 20 cal. Silver Streak simply wanting it rebuilt and the holes drilled and taped for a rear Williams peep sight. I received it back with the wood stock dented all over, it leaked worse than before I sent it to him and the holes were drilled and taped into the bolt as he never removed the bolt before drilling and taping the holes for the Williams peep sight. This guy ruined my rifle that I received as a child for my 13th birthday. It will never be the same! DO NOT LET HIM DESTROY YOUR MEMORIES! read more

Attitude problem with this guy. Never go back there again. Must have got up from the wrong side of his bed this morning.

I own a MAC 1 LD pistol now for 16 years and recently it leaked after years of field use. Tim repaired the gun to new working condition at no charge under warranty and I received it back within on 14 days or so. I live in Florida so the turn around time back was excellent. MAC1 exceeded my expectations offering great service. I also bought a ninja tank from them and got it delivered in 5 days read more

August 2017 Mac-1 has moved to 1886 Freeman Ave Signal Hill, CA 90755 562-961-MAC1 (6221) Mac-1 and McMurray and Sons have fixed my guns since the 1960's And still does, I shoot a lot of competition these days and Tim provides repairs and parts. Tim has also run gun safety programs in the South Bay for years. And is normally available if needed. read more

Not sure about this gentleman. Had sent him an order for a custom Crosman 1322. When I called to discuss the order (as suggested) he told me to call back in a couple of days (?) Called 2 days later, he said he didn't have time to talk on the phone. Got very defensive and argumentative when I tried to remind him that had been his recommendation. I'm not sure if I want to go through with my order. He has done nothing to reassure me. read more

Absolutely the best. Don't listen to the people who gave him bad ratings. Those people have not even met him or know his abilities. This man, Tim, is a legend at making your Airgun the most optimal and smooth running. If you want to buy a incredible Airgun, I would skip amazon or any online sources and buy it from Tim. If you are looking for performance this man is the person to come to. He makes the best competition Airguns and that's no exaggeration. With many years under his belt and a unshakable dedication, you can't go better than visit Mac 1 airguns. Quality still lives in America places like these. Never buying off of amazon again! A+ airguns and a A+ knowledge read more

Sent Tim a Sheridan Blue Streak for a Steroid Mod. He called me 3 months later, and billed me $233.00. I received the rifle a few days later, and it would not hold air. The rifle made a flutter sound when pumped. I called Tim, and he told me the exhaust valve spring was stuck. Tim suggested I smack the gun on a bench to release the stuck spring. I tried that. Then Tim told me to put oil (secret sauce) in the air hole. I tried that, and then returned the rifle to Tim. After a few weeks, I called Tim, and he told me it was going out "this week". His attitude was like I sent food back at a restaurant. Two weeks alter, I called Tim again, and again. Tim will not take my calls or return my calls. Now, Tim has my rifle, and my money. I field a dispute with my credit card company. This is my second Steroid Rifle. The first one was without a problem. I don't know what's happening with Mac1, but I'm not happy. read more

Unfortunately Tim's ego about being a good air gun mechanic completely sabotage his customer service. I bought an extremely expensive repair kit from him. I figured the least he could do was spend two minutes on the phone with me to troubleshoot. Meaning, just quickly go over the one or two things that could be failing. I wasn't asking for a MasterClass. What I got was the ego of a Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon professor In the middle of a life or death situation. "You can't fix it, I can fix it. " Awesome Tim, thank you for selling expensive repair kits to the public. He's lucky to make toys for a living he should realize that. I took his "custom-made stem out "and put back the 45 year old original one and the pistol spun like a top. The part that Mac 1 manufactured was the problem. I should've just bought the same parts on eBay for a quarter of the price. At least eBay has better customer service, and that is not saying much. read more

Awesome dude great service one stop shop for pcp air gun need very knowledgeable too!!

One word describes Mac 1 Airguns, Outstanding. Tim is a genius when it comes to Airguns. You are not going to find someone who is more knowledgeable or talented in this field. I've had Tim work on a number of my airguns and I can vouch that his work is top quality. Mac 1 is a one man operation, so have some patience when visiting the shop or making a phone call. Quite often Tim is either machining a part or helping another customer. read more

I ordered my items for over a month to Europe(Germany) no contact anymore!!? Doesn't answer my mails!!? Although I paid for the order!!! (PayPal ) ! ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUSTWORTHY!! read more

My Marauder Pistol was wildly inconsistent. After many many hours attempting to fix it and tune myself, I finally sent it to Mac1. Turnaround time was half what he quoted. Pricing was more than fair and the pistol is literally better than new. These guys are masters of their craft. read more

I took my PCP marauder air rifle in for service. These guys did a great job for a fair price, and were fast. I drove from San Diego expecting to leave it for a week, and after arriving, they stopped everything and got it dialed in within an hour. Fantastic. read more

I had Mac 1 tune my Benjamin Discovery in .22 a few years ago. The guy's a pro. He took my inexpensive PCP airgun, put a muzzle brake on it, crowned it, added a power adjustment/hammer spring modification, and suped up the trigger. All for a very reasonable price. The little PCP will hold 1/4 inch groups at 20 yards and 1 inch groups at 50 yards all day long. If you want a light, very accurate entry level PCP airgun, give him a call. read more

These guys are super pro. My 70's-era airgun was completely broken. I sent it to Mac-1 and just got it back in the mail; shooting straight and powerful as ever. read more

Tim has been the worst person to deal with he destroyed my air rifle and tried to charge me for it. he broke my pressure gauge and then drilled to big holes in my air tube now my gun went from a 14 dollar fix to a 500 dollar fix all while he was yelling and cursing at me for his mistake never again. Buyers Beware!!! read more

Tim was a good guy I came in on a sat he did not have the part for my game airgun,so he made it from scratch.thank you Tim for a job and friendly atmosphere. read more

He did work for me and did a great job at a great price. He fills air tanks too. He repaired my air rifle, air tank, and filled my tank. However, he does not work on all air gun brands so call first. read more

I have admit,after reading some of the negative reviews, I am more than a little apprehensive about sending my 20+year old Benjamin Sheridan 392 to this guy or company. I was referred to them by an employee at a well know air gun dealership, whom I trust completely but I have to trust my gut and my gut tells me don't do it. I just need to upgrade it and get it up to pare, even on a fresh build it's 100 FPS slower than advertised. Everything has been replaced but just not 685 FPS more like 550 ish. Was told this place could "hot rod it" for me. Always trust your gut. I paid 135$ for the gun new 50$ in 2 rebuilds over 20 years 100$ for scope and mounts but the memories with it and the accuracy it gives are without a doubt "PRICELESS". Not taking chances to be the next guy to get bent over to poor business / work / whatever's their problem. One review listed that they paid close to 250$ for a repair or mod?!!! Ridiculous!!! Almost twice what that gun cost new considering a rebuild kit pressure chamber and seal/ w/pump cup is 24$ from Crosman??!!! Nope nope and nope. read more

The worst business I've ever seen with the worst attitude. Be aware that this guy usually charges you 30% more than the market price for parts. His work ethic is also very questionable. If he's not arguing with you then he's arguing with his non English speaking wife. I took my brand new condor to his shop to fit some scope rings, he damaged my rifle during the process and wanted to blame it on me. DO NOT LET HIM TOUCH YOUR GUN! HE WILL FUCK IT UP! read more
