Excerpt from AMERICAN HANDGUNNER ANNUAL 2006 magazine

"A few inquiries led me to CLASSIC GUNS, INC. and a few minutes on the phone had me convinced that they knew what they were doing." 

"The gun was reassembled with great care, because the refinished parts were nothing less than spectacular.  The case-hardening had the beautiful mottled colors that defined the pre-war Colts and the (Carbona) blue that lustrous dark color that cannot be duplicated by today's dip-and-dunk processes."   Charles E. Petty

Firearm Restoration implies bringing a firearm back to its original, factory condition.

We, Classic Guns Inc., have extensive knowledge of the types of firearms we restore.  We research exactly how that firearm was finished by the factory; i.e., the type of bluing that was done on its various parts, which parts may have been color case hardened, and when possible the process and material originally use.

All surfaces are polished by hand, not with a buffing wheel.  Preparing the firearm for a finish involves removing pitting and dings, restoring contours, flattening the flats, etc..  Because we only do hand polishing, this is where the bulk of the labor is.

Note also that the firearm needs to be "cooperative".  No one can take a gun that's in horrible condition and make it 100%.
