One was a series 70 Colt Gold Cup in 45. It was burned pretty bad and the holster was melted to the slide.The slide and entire gun was finished in a satin nickel finish which made it even harder to bring back to life. The owner thought it was a lost cause.I told the owner to let us see what we could do for it. Here is the gun as it came in to us, with the holster melted to the slide.
A little magic here and there and here is the gun today. Not perfect but as good as it is going to get..
This is a 22 High Standard that we got in a while back that was also in a fire and was really messed up.
A little magic, pulled a few bunnies out of a hat and here is the gun today..
Even rifles can usually be restored. Here is a Winchester that was left in a wet soft case for a while.
Here is the same gun after a little work..
Here is a Ruger 357 Magnum Blackhawk that had battery acid spilled on it.
Really nasty.
Here is the gun restored..
Just to show you that most guns can be restored, even when they are in really bad shape.
