Some NEW photos as of November 2024.
Above is recent project to make extra fancy grips for a Bowen Custom. No it’s not a Colt - but it sure turned out pretty.
BELOW is an 1883 Colt SAA that came in with a poor nickel finish: nickel stripped & restored to how it should with bluing,
What I Do: Colt, Ruger, GW & Uberti.
First...Thank You for visiting! !
Did you know I guarantee my work for AS LONG as you own your Single Action?
PLEASE Do Not Send in Your Handgun for Repair Without me Giving the Go-Ahead.
I take pride in what I turn out.
I treat every piece like it will be critiqued by the best of the best in the industry.
From time to time your gun may need to be re-done for whatever reason.
Maybe the CCH wasn’t to my liking or I missed a blemish when I was polishing or the wood I was using didn’t quite do what I wanted.
Some things WILL cause a delay.
Some guns will leave my shop back to you later than expected.
If you can’t take the disappointment of the gun not being done on time - please tell me. It’ll be done when I’m proud of it so you can be too.

Any replaced parts will be returned. (credit for used parts is an option)

Enamored with Range Wars...
Ever since I was a kid I was enamored by the stories of the Range Wars. Movies like SHANE, UNFORGIVEN and OPEN RANGE come alive to me as I wonder what part I’d play.
