About consignment
For over 30 years we have been selling guns consigned by our customers all over the world. In most cases we need to see the gun to determine its value. Once the selling price is agreed we will give the gun a lot of exposure; ads in magazines, major gun shows, hunting conventions and an accurate description with quality pictures on the internet. We ask a 15% fee. |

We can help you with most of your ammunition needs, from reloading your nitro express brass to manufacturing 4 bore cartridges. A few examples of our services: Load development to achieve velocity, individual barrel accuracy and best grouping. Practice loads with ligther bullets (ex;450ne with 350 gr bullet). Great for the ladies, younger shooters, or your plains game harvesting. Hard to find cartridges with intensive transformation of existing brass (9.3x74R to 8x60R) or from scratch (CNC machined brass for 8 bore and 4 bore). In any case we will need the gun for proper fit and obvious safety concern. Please call us for quote. In any case , we do not recommend substitusion of nitro powders for black , and are not responsable for excursion beyond proof. |

Re-Chamber Double Rifle
In the 60's a fairly large number of double rifles had been built in 458 Winchester mainly because of the disapperance of Kynoch ammunition. Today the 450 3 1/4 and 450#2 are available. Why keep a high pressure rimless round, when the nitro express calibers will achieve at least the same ballistics with the positive extraction of a rimmed case? |
$240.00 plus regulation if needed |

Refinish Stock
A beautiful piece of walnut may be hiding under 100 years of oiling. That is why we start every refinishing by getting the old oil out of the stock (thinner or ch3cooh). Then we steam out the dents as much as possible, what will not come out will be sanded or filled depending of its location. After sharpening the edges we will proceed to grain raising, grain filling and oil finish. |
From $200.00 |
|
Regulation of barrel convergence
This one is a challenge: New barrels or 100 years old barrels? Originally regulated beautifully or not? For cordite or flake powder? The bullet weight and shape? The individual barrel accuracy? There is a few guide lines about it, but nothing is chiseled in stone. Considering the amount of parameters it would take a powerful computer to lay out the proper squeeze for a set of barrels, a load and a shooter. Then that computer will not solder as good as my yellow lab would. On the first try I satisfy 90% of my customers, and if your rifle doesn't perform the way it should I will regulate again (under guaranty). |
$600.00 plus amunition |
|
Re-Hinge
The hinge pin is the part of a break open shotgun or rifle that takes the most punishment. During the firing it keeps the barrels on the face of the breech. Then it wears slighty at each opening and closing. It is better to rejoint a gun at the first signs of loosness because the wear will grow exponentially. On guns with removable pin we replace it with an oversized pin made of EDT 150 steel. On non removable pin we TIG weld the lump with chrom-moly steel. |
$250.00 and up |
|
Remove dent from barrel
We use hydraulic tools that in most cases will not mare the bluing and give a flawless result inside and outside. |
$50.00 plus re-black if needed |
