that had been in a fire. The owner wanted to see if it could be restored. Well almost a year later it is completely restored to "as new". Here is the gun as the owner brought it in...

Here it is today almost a year later and a lot of work later. And that is a bit of grease on the trigger, nothing to do with the work we did.

The only problem is we have misplaced the owners contact info. If it is yours, give me a call with the serial number and we will have a "like new" 38 super for you.

That is remarkable, great job!

A friend had a house fire and lost all his guns. The Ruger Blackhawks with the aluminum gripframes were hot enough the aluminum was melted completely off the guns .. in puddles. That was HOT!

that is one of the things we look for when we decide to take

on a gun that has been in a fire. If the grips or on a rifle or shotgun, if the grips or stocks have completely burnt up the fire was probably too hot and the gun's metal was probably ruined. But each gun is different. We check it out good before we take one in for work.
