R***r MK 1 22 long r***e, built in 1977. Pistol went thru a house fire which isn't kind to fi****ms. a before and after.
Cleaned, stripped and reblued. New springs all around and touched up the grips a bit. Runs like a dream.

As some of you know, I have been having some health issues which doesn't seem to want to go away.
Due to some upcoming surgery, I will not be taking in any more work at this time. I will be concentrating on the work already in my shop to finish up before the procedure.
God willing, i hope to be back at it by mid to late September if all goes well.

Thank you all for your patience.

Trying to remove some melted lead from inside the stock bolt channel of an old Stevens sh***un. In for refinish and reblue.
The torch is calling me but you can bet the wooden stock wont like it. Oh well.. slow and sure.

R***r Model 77 in 30 06. New Timney trigger install.
A timney trigger is not always a simple bolt in affair. This R***r needed the trigger guard milled out just a tad to fit the new trigger housing.

T.C. Montgomery double barrel 12 gauge sh***un built in 1877 in Birmingham England. Came in with a broken fore end retention spring. A little magic with hammers, files and some creative vocabulary and she's ready to head home.
Look at the beautiful lines on this Damascus barrel. Work of art.
