My first restoration as a student of the @colorado_school_of_trades a solid frame Winchester 1897 made in the year 1900. For a 121 year old firearm it was in solid working condition, but the wood and surface metal were definitely showing their age. I started by drilling, tapping, and installing a front sight bead that had been lost in a barrel chop from a previous owner. Then I went on to sanding, repairing and refinishing the original wood pump and buttstock. After that I took off as much pitting and scratches from the metal surfaces as I could, polished them to 400 grit, and blued them. There were in total 5 different parts that were worn out beyond repair and needed to be replaced. Overall I’m very satisfied with it and think it’ll serve well over the next 121 years.
It is with great sorrow that we report the pioneer of stock making Jerry Fisher has passed away. Our condolences go to the family and loved ones of Jerry as he touched many lives.
A Ruger Single Six is in the box! Colton Cavill produced this lovely revolver with some help from our friends at Gunsmith at Large. Colton color case hardening the receiver, fume bluing the pins and screws, and hot salt bluing all remaining metal components. Colton also installed the sambar stag grips and made the custom presentation box.
