Antique Rifle Restorations by the Gun Doctor
A web site dedicated to the restoration and building of antique rifles
I purchased a nice Hepburn a bit ago but decided to rebarrel it and caseharden it. It is now a 38-55 with a Ron Smith Gain Twist Barrel and I casehardened the action. This is a sweet rifle and will be great fun to shoot.
I am a hobby gunsmith by night and teach at a University by day. I love taking old basket case but classic rifles and breathing new life into them. I do have a Ph.D. but it is in feed processing and nutrition and nothing to do with classic rifles but some of my friends call me the gun doctor for bringing these pieces back to life. I especially enjoy some of the old school methods like bone charcoal color casehardening. View more posts
