In kind of a weird twist of fate, myself and a handful of buddies, former colleagues,
Gifts, inheritances, trades, etc. in the past year or two have led to us, with one exception of a rare, valuable example,
Having some rough, shooter type guns needing a little TLC.

There are a couple of big places that seem ideal for sending out a rare piece.
For those of you just wanting a basic service and restoration, who would you use locally?

We are in GA, NC, SC, and VA.  Another guy on the KY/TN border will be in NC.  A guy in MD is real close to VA.

Those of us with a basic shooter that will cost 1K to restore and still only be worth 1K were talking and kind of don’t want to mess with shipping to a big place, but also don’t want to have them butchered by a hack.

Bump

you want purely mechanical or mechanical and finish

Lotsa options for mechanical stuff

A "good" refinish, very few

Mechanical to start would be great

thor 340 on here

one of the best

Thanks.

But most of us are looking to find a place we can drop off and pick up at.  

I was hoping people from different states would chime in with someone in their state,
And we could kind of have a list here with options in various states.
