On our home page there is a links section that has several listings for reputable Smiths that can service your gun.

Rust bluing the barrels is relatively straight forward. Repros were originally cyanide case colored, and i do not know who might be able to replicate that these days if a true "restoration" of your repro is desired. However, tepro actions color nicely using traditional bone charcoal methods like ameriden Parkers were. The trigger plate bridge is soldered in on the repros, so they just have to be tack welded in place before case coloring is done.


Congrats on getting your gun back after all this time. I am sure there is a story behind thay saga.
