Need Damascus Refinish
 
I have a set of Parker Damascus barrels that I would like to get refinished. If you know of anyone doing quality work with a turn around time less than 3 months can you please send me a PM with their contact info.

Thank you
Patrick

Look into Aaron Zimmerman. He runs an ad in DGJ.

Rick Losey 01-07-2018 09:56 AM

i've seen his ads- have you seen examples of his work?

Brian Dudley 01-07-2018 02:24 PM

He did a set of Damascus barrels for me on an early GH shooter of mine. They turned out very good. I have also seen photos of his work that were equally as good looking.

A word of caution concerning Aaron Zimmerman. I tried to contact him a week before Thanksgiving with no reply.Again a week after Thanksgiving I tried again, and again no reply. I had a set of barrels I wanted finished and left a message stating that fact twice. While Brian and Daniel Cote are satisfied with the quality of his work, I find his reliability unsatisfactory.

I had Batchelder do a set for me. Turn around time was reasonable and the barrels came out very nice.

Craig,
I also tried to send you an email around thanksgiving and did not get a reply. Maybe there is a thanksgiving goblin is running around stealing emails from inboxes so they are not reaching their recipients. I dont know.

Brian, I did reply to your email and spent approximately 20 minutes discussing options available to you, but informed you I would be unavailable enjoying a much warmer climate until April. I had to assume you received my email as I retained my response in the SENT ITEMS of my emails for at least a week andwere not interested in the options I expressed. As for Aaron Zimmerman his only contact listed in his ad is a telephone # which I tried twice and left a voice mail each time. If you want to discuss your previous email I can call tomorrow or email you, your choice. The wife is golfing tomorrow so I have no car. Craig

Well the Goblin stole it from my inbox then. Who knows what happens with such things.
I am in no hurry on the subject of my mailing. I knew you were heading south anyway.

Craig Budgeon 01-07-2018 06:26 PM

Patrick, there aren't very many craftsman doing browning and fewer still who do black/gray. If you find someone who does quality work in less than 3 months you better keep him a secret as I would be satisfied with deliver in anything under six months
