I have a double barrel 12 guage that has been dented, who does that work.

To add a little more information. It is a Simson & Suhl 12 guage double barrel 2 3/4 inch chambers nitro proofed 26 inch barrels. The gun locks up tight and over all is in good condition. The barrels have a series of small dents nothing real big but really unsightly. I am going to refinish the wood and clean up the checkering. Depending on what it would cost to fix the barrels really depends on what I do with it.
I don't think it is worthy of 5-6 hundred on the barrels but just hate to scrap the barrels if they can be saved.

Repair or restore? Mike will refer you to Kirk Merrington in Kerrville Texas. I just went through the same drill with my Superposed. Kirk is Purdy trained and does beautiful work. Prices are on his website but to fix the barrel and reblue was about $550 including a very well done rust blue.

If this gun isn't worth that level of restoration there are lots of guys with dent pullers you can buy at Brownells.


"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.
