grips on it that have formed to the gun but they are still obviously Pachmayr grips so it should be fine. The other guns we won't know about until we get them apart. The 2 autos that are covered in melted holsters may be salvageable. We were able to take a rubber mallet and break the holster off the Colt Gold Cup and found it is a series 70 nickel gun so it will go down to Robar in Phoenix to see about getting the nickel off once we manage to get it fully apart. We got the Ruger MK 3 out of the plastic Ruger box. It will take some work but I think we can bring it back. He also had about a dozen rifles and shotguns and they are in worse shape,. I told him we would see about bringing the handguns back to life, then work on the long guns.
