Our Expertise Extends to All Types of Items Requiring Specialized Care and Restoration Techniques.
Firearms
Our qualified gunsmiths begin with an assessment of the weapon to determine whether it is safe to restore to working order. In some cases, the best choice may be a cleaning rather than restoration of function. We then provide an estimate of the scope and cost of restoration.
- Restoration for Display
- From basic brushing and oiling to ultrasonic cleaning, to bluing, polishing, and other metal finishing techniques, Restoration Cleaners can bring your firearm back to its aesthetic best.
- Wooden stocks and grips may be cracked, dented, or gouged. We repair any damage, re-stain, and refinish all wooden parts.
- Functionality
- We can address corrosion, misfires, or feeding problems caused by water or other damage.

Our restorers are trained in the taxidermy and conservation techniques that will bring these objects back to their original appeal and beauty, so that they can once again be displayed and appreciated.
