    “I’ve been in the gun business for 40 years”

    in Iceland
    “I’ve been in the gun business for 40 years”


    Agnar’s gunsmith has a history of about 40 years. She has lived in many places, most recently in Hverafold in Grafarvogur for the past six years, but was recently moved to new premises at Síðumúla 13 in Reykjavík after being in Grafarvogur for the past six years, and Agnar Guðjónsson was doing part of his work at home.

    “We had the business in three places, but now everything is in 100 square meters under one roof,” he says, referring to the fact that he used to have glass blowing and other things at his home, the warehouse in one place and the store in another.

    “I’ve been in the gun business for 40 years and at the same time repaired everything between heaven and earth, such as pots and pans, in fact repaired everything I’ve been asked to fix,” says Agnar, and specifically mentions handles on the owners’ favorite pans.

    “The most amazing things have come in here for repair. Old-style calculators and the whole damn thing. For a while I did a lot of fishing bikes, but now they’re made as disposables.”

    The work was mostly about repairing guns.

    Doctor Aggi gun

    As a summer employee at the sporting goods store Sportvali by Hlemm in Reykjavík, he worked, among other things, on repairs. “Then I found out that no one knows how to repair guns in Iceland,” he says about the lead-up to the establishment of the workshop. He went to school in Denver in the United States as a result, learned everything about guns and then started running the company after his return in 1986. “Artist Torfi Hardarson drew a picture of me with all kinds of medical gadgets on me in medical class and then I was called Dr. Aggi gun. It has stuck with me ever since.”

    The workshop was first in a basement on Grettisgatu and then in three locations in Kópavogur before Agnar took over the business in Grafarvogur. “I sold the house and now I’m in a rented house.”

    The production of guns has naturally made great progress in 40 years. “The guns are better now,” says Aggi.

    “When I started, for example, there were no guns with pads and none with strap attachments, but now it all comes together more or less ready.”

    Guðjón, Agnar’s son, is mostly in charge of the business and the opening hours will remain at 12-18.

    “During the season we will remain available on Saturdays.” says Aggi. Adds that the import of guns has decreased by 50% from 2022, but that does not reduce their work.

    “This will continue with us from now on, as it has been until now, considering how Icelanders care about their guns. Many people don’t dare to take them apart and clean them, and nothing is done until the gun breaks down. Then it’s our turn.”
