Nickey4271647545519 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Looking to have two guns restored price shouldnt be an issue as these are very old heir looms and i'd love to able to shoot them again. So if you guys can recommend someone or point me in a direction that would be great! Thanks, Nickey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1647545493 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 What kind of guns are they? What do you think is wrong with them? Fix them, but don't try to clean them up. Keep the working parts of the guns clean but don't try to clean up the gun to make it look new again. You'll kill the value of the gun if you do.

Mark1647545493 Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I have a very good gunsmith friend in the Newark/ St. Louisville area. He just back/neck surgery so let me call him and see if he's up to working yet. So they are working guns, you just want them gone over by a professional to make sure they OK to shoot? If that's the case you could probably take them to Ohio Valley, NASR, Buckeye Outdoor, Vances or Big Darby Creek shooting range to have them looked over and cleaned up some.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm not even sure that their okay to be honest they're both pretty rusty (sat by and open window all those years), i know both have working firing pins, the stocks are in great condition, i basically just want all the metal restored and barrels re-blued if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
