Mr. Truitt,

While I once served as "Q" branch for a small US military organization, there is not any letter Q in my name.

Yes, the barrels do seem rather long.

Mark

Out or respect for my gunsmith I do not discuss prices with anyone but him. When we discuss the cost of restoration sometimes I cry and sometimes I am very, very happy.

Each gun is different based on model, condition, and factors such as is the engraving sharp or does it need the be chased out?

For pricing I recommend that you contact Brad Bachelder or whoever you think is qualified to restore as you desire.

Sorry I can't be more help,
Mark

If you just want a ballpark number to get a feel for what you might get into, you could look at Turnbull's web site, he has a price list ( http://www.turnbullmfg.com/store.asp?pid=20180 ). That may give you an idea but I would assume that you will find wide variation in both quality and price when you look for services. You may run into conflicts with "you get what you pay for" and "you pay more for the label". Good luck with your project.

Brett,

Cetainly no offense taken. The preceding post gives good advice.

I've heard of case hardening a receiver costing from $300 to $600 from different gunsmiths. If you like the finished products of a certain smith the final cost is between you and him (maybe her) based on the amount of work that needs to be done and the historical accuracy of the restored product.

It costs you only time to call to discuss with a gunsmith.

Respectfully,
Mark

Mark,

No offense meant. I missed the O and mistook it for a Q.

Happy New Year to you.

John,

It okay I just need to correct someone the FIRST time they make that mistake. In my next life I am going to be a Smith or Jones

PS: Thanks for the shooting tips while we were within the Parker display in Louisville!

Mark

A note about the wood on this PHE:

The former owner had Brad do an economy repare and refinish. The stock and forend look good but not nearly as good as if Brad had done a full restoration on it.
