The Browning 1886 Lever Action is a faithful commemorative reproduction of John Browning's iconic original 1886 design, which was initially produced by Wi******er. For this project, the customer requested a full refinish of the butt stock and butt plate. The work involved significant restoration: I was able to remove most of the pitting from the steel butt plate and carefully smooth over the deep gouges in the walnut stock. It was a pleasure to restore the stock for such an iconic and historically significant rifle, and I believe the results will exceed the customer's expectations.

I had the opportunity to help out someone that had this 70 year old Crosman 130 Air Pistol. This pistol was a very popular model, and there are still several places you can find information, parts, and repair kits. It's a .22 caliber pistol and there was an issue with it not holding a charge. After several different attempts at fixing it, I figured out that it needed a new exhaust valve and piston pump. I re-blued the barrel, cylinder, and pump handle as it was pretty rusty. It holds a charge and fires now, and I'm hoping that the owner gets some good years of use out of it.
