Just had a fellow bring in about a dozen guns that were in a fire. He wanted us to see if we could bring them back to life. Here are some of the guns..
S&W M-629...it had ammo in it which pretty much destroyed the frame when they went off. This one is toast.

A Colt stainless Gold Cup. The holster is now part of the gun..

a Springfield Armory 45, in a holster. The holster is now part of the gun..

A Ruger 22 MK 3 is somewhere in this box and will have to be cut out...

There is also a 1963 Colt Python that we are trying to get out of the box it was in.

There are also about 10 rifles and shotguns. I will try to get pics of them as we can.
And yes we are going to try to bring most of these back to life.
