Gun Restoration

Deer Hunter DL

have an old double barrel here a (Fusil Robust brevete SGDG No.222) with the woodwork in need of some TLC its my dads old gun he`s had it about 30 years and its been through the wars threw here and there buired at the odd fox burrow and what not , there is some fairly deep sctatches and alot of scrapes on it , and the checkering on it is well worn down , anyone know who would leave it like new

don't touch it , who wants a 60 or whatever year old gun that looks brand new ? every knock and ding on the stock has a tale behind it , its not bad looking the way it is in my humble opinion .

restore the mechanics of the action etc , springs , pins etc and make sure its tight .

Keep it's history,
and add a little bit of your own to it,
for your son's or daughters to tell the tale of generations
of happy shooting.;)

It looks like a laquer finished stock and fore end.For what it is worth a nice oil refinished stock and fore end would suit it a lot better.The oil works better as water proofing and works well with old stocks enhancing their looks.Any good gunsmith would/should be able to do a good job for you.
