Mind you it's been media blasted and the steel has been in the raw for 5 months now. Magically it was done the following day. Not only did they cerakote my custom barreled action and various components, they cerakoted about 4" of my bore from muzzle end and much of the chamber as possible and stripped my $300 scope rings. I did receive a bunch of stickers though for what that's worth.

This is an update of my 2017 review…read more I recently received an email from the gunsmith with whom I had arranged to restore my 20 gauge Purdy from the damage caused by Paul Lippold's "restoration." I include it below. .................................. Hello Peter, I'm afraid that I do not have good news for you. The damage done during the previous attempt at "restoration" of the gun just isn't able to be rectified to either my standards or in any cost-effective way. A number of times, I have pulled the gun from the rack to begin work on it and every time the same realization occurs. That being that what I mentioned above. I then put it back in disgust, thinking that maybe it was just my frame of mind, when, in reality, I was simply refusing to accept the reality of the situation. The primary problem is the amount of material that was removed from the face of the standing breech and the breechface of the barrels, and, the way in which it was removed. As I had initially determined, both surfaces had apparently suffered significant pitting and were ground and/or filed to remove the pitting. The material removal from the frame's breechface was done wihout first annealing the frame. This resulted in a surface that is not remotely flat, due to varying surface hardness. Correcting this would necessarily involve first annealing the frame and then truing the breechface surface (which means even more material removal). This is going to leave a gap of approximately .015 to .020 inches, meaning that that is how far the barrels will need to be set back. That also means that the new hinge pin will have to be larger in diameter by double that amount (because it is round). Setting the barrels back that far will cause the front of the rear lump to no longer be in contact with the frame (no longer fitted on the circle), which means that the hinge pin will now be the "reaction member" that reacts the forces upon firing. Also, the ornamental ribs of the forend iron will no longer meet their counterparts on the barrel flats, resulting in a visible gap on each side at that point. Then there is the extent of buffing wheel induced damage to all sharp edges and contours, to say nothing of the vise jaw damage to the frame. This can all be corrected but it will mean material removal to the extent that, when finished, none of the original engraving will have survived. All of the metalwork will be completely bald, including the rib address, meaning that engraving will have to be redone, in its entirety. Add to that the fact that every single screw must be remade, the gun stocked, checkered, finished, and so on. As I said, the damage is just too extensive." ...................................... To sum it up, Paul's "restoration" has made a $65,000+ gun worthless. Think cafefully before you give any firearm to this hack.

I went from Appleton to Milwaukee looking for a pre-1964 Winchester 1894 and was pleased to find…read moreRon's had the best selection and best prices. At least $125 less than the Big Box guys. Settled on a very nice .32 Win Spcl at $400 so I couldn't beat that. Great staff, no pressure or macho hype, quite the opposite actually. Very laid back. A really nice selection of used rifles and shotguns was what I like about Ron's, plus the fair prices. They specialize in antique and classic refurbish so they are on the top of my list when I need that too. I have friends also from IL that stop here every time they pass thru and frequently they find a good deal. It's on my 'must visit' list now every time I go thru the north Milwaukee area, (Germantown, WI).
