![]() You may have an heirloom or ‘old friend’ where money is not the first object. (If you’re interested in gun case restoration, read here.) Which has big implications for shotgun restoration. The costs involved tended to be modest: artisan work was cheaper then, and there were more competent gunsmiths around – people who had done their time at the bench with smoke lamp, file, and gauge.Īs gunsmiths become thinner on the ground, their time is more valuable. In the old days of the gun trade one used to see a lot of ‘do-ups’ – older guns restored to pristine (or near pristine) condition by properly trained gunsmiths.
