Antique Rifle Restorations by the Gun Doctor
A web site dedicated to the restoration and building of antique rifles
Time in my shop has been a bit limited but this last week or so I had some quality time and finished a couple of projects. One was a highwall that I barrelled in 40-65 and casehardened as well as a Marlin 1893 Lever that I relined, fit a butstock and blued and casehardened.
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
