    I have purchased a never fired Browning Hells Canyon at a great price. The catch is the guy tried to mount a scope and broke three screws off in the rifle. Can you drill and tap these holes and how much are you thinking. I might get a scope mounted as well.

      Please bring the rifle by the store for our gunsmith to look at and give you an estimate. They will get it fixed up for you!

    Hey there, I have 2 old traditional black powders, one is a .40 caliber pistol and the other is a .50 caliber rifle, which has had the barrel trimmed down so that my daughter can shoot it and also for a brush gun where it can be fun to kill a big buck with. The .40 caliber black powder pistol has had a stock put on it that isn’t original and the guy who I got it from didn’t put it together right I believe and was gonna actually custom carve and detail the stock for just a hobby thing, but I was wanting to get it actually functional. Also the .50 caliber it shoots but I would like to have it looked over and tweeked if needed and cleaned if possible good that way it’s safe, that both is safe to shoot. Is there anyway I can come by one evening or on a Friday to get them seen and estimate on what it would cost to get them shooting ready? My number is 731-267-9265. Please when you have time please call me I’d love to have these fixed up and functional. I really appreciate the time reading this. Have a great day thank you…

    Need to get three holes drilled and tapped to install iron sights on my rifle. 6-48 # All holes will be on barrel, I can lay it out on the barrel where items should go.

    • admin Admin profile Posted March 10, 2023 12:03 pm

      Just bring it by the shop for our gunsmiths to take a look at it.

    Can you cut a dovetail in a rifle barrel for a front sight? Barrel diameter/wall thinkness is geater at the shorter location, so that is not a concern, but I need a dovetail cut.

      Just call and talk to Ethan or Frank and they will help you.
