Hello all,
Loking for a little help. I have Thompson Center .50 flintlock hawken that i purchased in 1974. Shot thousand of rounds thru it. It was my most prized possession.
Had a house fire in late 2014, the rifle was in another room from main fire so its still solid. But the varnish on stock bubbled up and the browning peeled off the barrel.
I cant find anyone that can work the wood or re-brown the barrel.
Yes i can buy another off gun sites, but it wouldnt be mine.
Can anyone point me to a black powder gunsmith/ restorer on the east coast?
