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.

Stay Away from this business…read more About two years ago, some where around the beginning of 2017 I brought my grandfathers's .22 rifle (A Remington 550-1) to Precision Sports to have it repaired (replace extractor). I was originally spent $70-$80 dollars to have a new extractor installed. I was told the gun worked fine and there shouldn't be any problems. At the time I lived in an apartment and had nowhere to shoot it. It was approximately 6 months before I traveled out of state to my parents property and and was able to fire the gun. The gun jammed after every 3-5 rounds like clockwork. Disappointed, I called Precision Sports and was told to bring the gun back and they would take a look at it, this was July of 2018. I did as they suggested, and dropped my gun off. About a week later I was told it was ready for pickup and when I picked it up. I discussed the problem with one of the employees and was told that, they were unable identify the problem and fix the gun without just starting to replace parts and see what works. I was told this was happening because the gun was old and that the costs could get expensive and quickly out-pace the price of the gun. At this point I was bummed, but I can completely understand. I put the gun in my gun cabinet to wait for the day when I was fiscally able to throw and unknown amount of money at it until I could fix it. This past year, I chose to build/assemble an AR-15 with a friend as a project. It was fun and gave me confidence to completely disassemble my old .22 and meticulously clean it on the off-chance that this was the problem with my gun. After test firing again, I found that was NOT the problem, so I started to dig in deeper, and realized the gun was jamming because the expended case wasn't being pulled out and a new round was being slammed into the back of the old case. So I took a look at the bolt and extractor, and read a bunch of the online forums. That was when I noticed the extractor installed didn't even stick out enough event hook the lip on the .22 case to pull it back out of the chamber. Logging onto the internet and doing some more reading I found that I was finding extractors with 2 different profiles, for $15 I was able to purchase the extractor that was NOT already installed, hoping it would work. I was able to swap them out and it works flawlessly. I will let you be the judge, Im mechanically inclined, but don't you think they would have been able to go through the same thought process? I called Precision Sports to talk to them about it. I was asked for the information about my gun and when I stopped in and told that they wanted to dig into it and call me back. I never received a call, so a week later, I called again. Y'all this is when it blows my mind. I was told they don't keep records on repairs that long (ok-fair enough) but I just wanting to explain my situation and why I was frustrated and to have someone listen to me. Instead I was told to "stop talking and interrupting me" I was told that "I'm happy the gun is working again for you, but who knows how long that will last, so its $80, just suck it up" and that he didn't "appreciate me accusing them of poor work. I UNDERSTAND its been about 2 years since I first stopped into get the gun fixed. I UNDERSTAND that there could me different parts from different sources for an old gun. My only point was that anyone that took a closer look at the gun would have seen that the installed extractor couldn't even hook an expended cartridge to extract it. At the end of the day I would have been happy if someone who would have listened to me, even if the said I'm sorry that this happened but its so long ago theres not much we can do, or AT THE VERY MOST offered to to pay the $15 for the new part. I never raised my voice, never swore, or called anyone a name or anything like that. Yet I was treated rudely. Never, have I had a business professional talk to me like the owner of Precision Sports.
