Another Name for Composite Barrel Refinishing - Trevor Rice

[Dean Romig]

Trevor Rice is Buck Hamlin’s grandson and by the pics he sent me his work is first rate!

Decide for yourself, but I’m convinced.

Trevor can be reached by PM through this web page.

Trevor worked on a set for me - beautiful job.
Trouble now is, do I have the rest of the gun brought up to what the barrels are.

Dean is it inappropriate to ask the ballpark price, in general, to have a set of bbls redone by him? And the timeframe? Thanks jeff

[Brian Dudley]

Ask Trevor.

Ah, yes, the age old conundrum. Been there, did that. Keep your stick on the ice, we're pulling for you Clark! :rotf:

The damascus refinishing examples by Trevor Rice you've shown Dean are stunning. I find the last example you've shown is particularly interesting in that it has a fluid steel bottom rib. I'm not sure if those barrels are Parker, but I've been told that was somewhat common among damascus Parkers. Since I've been paying attention, I have seen very few damascus Parkers with fluid steel bottom ribs, other than the 1911 12-ga. 30" DH of mine shown below.

Trevor sends me photos of his finishing work often. It is looking very good. In my opinion it is far better looking than Buck ever did. Buck had a taste for Browns. Not for true B&W.

The Bernard barrels Dean shared are for a CH grade that we are working on. Trevor did a really nice job on them, he is working hard to get his process down to science. Brian is spot on, for some reason Buck was stuck on doing everything brown and Trevor is on board to do the correct black and white on American guns. Trevor will tell you Buck was no fan of Parker guns for some reason, no idea why.

My next set of Damascus barrels will go to him. I’m pretty disappointed with the last set of barrels I had done.
The pictures of the barrels done by Trevor, really POP.

[Clark McCombe]

Trevor is a good guy, great to talk to. Really cares about his work.
Happy to see the air time here.

Thanks for the support! I had no idea this thread existed!

I take a lot of pride in the Black and White finish, I operate as if my grandpa Buck is looking over my shoulder. I decided after he passed I would keep the barrel work going. I do like Brown too but I prefer high contrast Black and White. When I worked in bucks shop we didn’t do a ton of black and white so I have been devoting a lot of hours to the science of perfecting my work after he passed. I have found his brown rusting agent works very well for black and white.

For those inquiring about pricing I can be reached at rice.trevorj@gmail.com. My typical turnaround is less than 30 days.

Thanks Dean, Channing, Clark and Brian for the kind words.

Trevor, it’s none of my business, but given you have so many fans in PCGA, well deserved I’d say, it probably makes sense to be a dues paying member of our organization. Good folks, good info in Parker Pages, you’ll be happy with that investment.
