Antique Rifle Restorations by the Gun Doctor
A web site dedicated to the restoration and building of antique rifles
I finished up another Marlin in 32-40. I relined the barrel with a TJ liner last weekend. Today I blued and Casehardened the rifle. It made for a very long day, I started the furnace at 6 am but I am pleased with the results.
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
