Listed under Specialty Restoration, Pricing, Metal Restoration Prices:

Double Gun Restoration Barrels slow rust blued. Frame is case colored (torch method). Smalls parts hot blued. All internal parts cleaned $275.00

This is cut and pasted from his site. Now yall debate the merits of this work, I would not have it done to a klunker I wanted to sell, much less to a gun I planned on shooting with my fingers wrapped around it.

well slap my face and call me stupid! I guess I'm not as computer literate as I thought. OK my face is red now. Anyway, I have done biz with Les and I still think comparing him to Ed The Torch is uncalled for.

I have nothing against the man, I've never used his services, just stating the facts.

I doubt I will ever send him a gun though and here's why.

I sent him a message about having my Flues 20ga, fixed, the timimg is off and he said it may need new firing pins. (To the man's credit, he answered my emails promptly and courteously).

When I inquired as to whether he had the proper 2-1/2" shells to test the gun I received the following response...

"I won't let the gun leave my shop with short chambers. Liability reasons. To lengthen chambers is $30.00/barrel. I'll test fire with 2 3/4" light field loads."

I have a nice little 1915 Flues that weighs about 5-1/2lbs. and I fire 2-1/2" shells because it has the original 2-1/2" chambers. How many Flues have we seen with broken frames from loads that were too heavy? No, thank you!

Besides, I would think he'd be exposed to more liability if he lengthened them.
