Gunsmith accolades!

[Danaidh]

Good morning folks. I am not sure is this is the appropriate thread for a praising comment so please move if necessary.

High praise for @Jackrabbit1957 for recently performing an excellent job tuning and working his magic on 2 percussion revolvers for me. I had no contact with him until I "met" him on this forum. He is a true professional and gunsmith. I am extremely happy with my 2 revolvers with which he gave the full treatment.

Thanks Dave, AKA Jackrabbit1957

Thank you so much for the mention! I am also going to offer refinishing as well. It's a rust blue process that gives a very dark finish. Still trying to come up with a price, the process can take several weeks. Anyone interested please PM me.

Bravo Jackrabbit1957. Sounds like you're a real gunsmith.

Thanks Gary! In case anyone's interested my bench is currently clear. Thinking of price for rust blue around 150 ish, any thoughts? Would be pistols only or small parts like locks and such. Will try to post some pictures of a couple of pistols I did recently.

Jackrabbit DOES do wonderful work - he gave my Uberti 1860 a new lease on life!

I have to add something to this thread. Jackrabbit1957 has been a great help to me. Not only does he have a knack with the revolvers, he got an old smoothbore of mine going by just sending the lock. Literally a 200 year old Springfield that had been tampered with by an amateur...

Then, I had issues with the same smoothbore roughly a year later (nothing that he worked on) and he helped me figure it out as well. He didnt have to respond to my dumb questions, but he did. This guy is a treasure, we must protect him at all costs!

I bought an already done by Jackrabbit Uberti Walker from him and it is a fine weapon.

I wish I could give high praise as I have two pistols done by jackrabbit but but I have not had a chance to try them out!!! I need to find a range to try them out.

@Rustmangler, Where are you located? I am relatively new here and do not have a feel for where folks are from unless it is posted by their handle name.

Oh Well, Alabama would be quite the commute just to shoot on my meager range.

Be safe.

here is 2 that I refinished recently, I wasn't smart enough to get before pics on the Ruger, I have before pics on the 1851 but on my phone, if anyone's interested I can send them in a text message.

Wow, those are nice!

Dave (Jackrabbit) is a great guy, nice to do business with folks who love this crazy anachronistic passion of ours!

We'll lock him in a gun-safe.

Yep, he saved my 1862 right when I was about to give it away, sell it cheap, or lock it away and never look at it again. And that wasn't even the "full treatment". My junker 1860 got the treatment, and now it's probably my favorite. (out of my giant revolver collection of three. !) (1860, 1862, and Remington New Model Army/1863 in Navy caliber.)
