Gun Repair
Diagnosis and correction of mechanical issues, broken or worn components, and functional concerns. Work is evaluated individually for parts availability and safe, appropriate repair.
Services
Care for metal, wood, and mechanism.
From measured conservation to complete restoration, each recommendation begins with the firearm’s condition, history, and intended future.
Gunsmithing
Professional bench services focused on fit, function, and responsible stewardship of vintage and antique firearms.
Rust Bluing
Traditional slow-rust bluing produces a rich, durable finish appropriate for many classic barrels and actions.
Parkerizing
Phosphate finishing that provides a protective, non-reflective surface for firearms where the treatment is historically and materially appropriate.
Stock Repair
Structural stabilization and repair for cracked, split, chipped, or broken wooden stocks, with attention to fit and visual continuity.
Gun Restoration
Integrated restoration planning for metalwork, wood, and mechanics, calibrated to the firearm’s originality and the owner’s goals.
Gun Conservation
Minimal, careful intervention intended to arrest deterioration, protect surviving finishes, and retain the evidence of age and use.
How work begins
Assessment before intervention.
Photos and a short history help start the conversation, but a final scope depends on hands-on examination. We will discuss goals, originality, finish condition, parts availability, and potential limits before work begins.
Because antique firearms vary widely, estimates and turnaround times are project-specific.
Initial inquiry
Tell us the make, model, condition, known issues, and your goals.
Evaluation
We assess the piece and recommend repair, conservation, or restoration.
Defined scope
Work proceeds only after the proposed scope and estimate are discussed.
