I would check with Briley for some if not all of the resoration work. To give you a ballpark idea of what you might have, a 16ga Sterlingworth in unmolested good condition having 90% finsih could be valued between $1200-$1800 depending in the configuration. The 16ga guns were built on 20ga frames and are desirable because they are light. Most Sterlingworths were double trigger extractor guns, but some had ejectors and some even had single triggers from the factory or afterwards. A far as an appraosal, that too depends on condition and depends on whether or not it's a Philadelphia gun. I don't know anyone in Maryland who I would have do this. Any mechanical repairs would be billed at shop hours between $40-$65. New wood done right would be $1500 minimum or to refinsih the wood you have would run from $350 to $600, depending on condition. Case colors can be as little as $250 to as much as $500. Does it need new wood? Does it need new case colors and bluing? Generally speaking, rust bluing would run about $275 if there's no pits or dents to deal with. The cheeks were taken down and veneered with new wood to cover the old pin.

Whether you're guiding a hunt or looking for a SA concealed carry gun, our Ruger Thunder in 41 mag or our Ruger Custom Bisley are two top choices.All depends on what you need done. The cheeks on this Remington had been pinned and the wrist/head partially broken through. For the long range big bore hunter who prefers traditional firearms, we suggest our 1885 Hi-wall chambered in 50-140 with a half round, half octagon barrel, color case-hardened receiver and checkered walnut furniture. We have met this need with a more economical reproduction that closely resembles the original, but is specially tuned for the abuse of cowboy shooting.īig game hunting requires a big gun. Although we have been repairing and restoring oringinal Lightnings for quite sometime, their expense has always been a deterrent for many Cowboy Action shooters, despite the demand for a high speed rifle. Sam Colt also strove to build a rifle that would compete with Winchester, thus the Colt Lightning slide action pump rifle came to be. Although built with the classic cowboy in mind, this shotgun will fit the need of many shooters. We are now offering a colt style side by side with steel barrels, 3 inch chamber, color case-hardened receiver, mule ear hammers (one hand cocking), hard lapped chambers and a competition action job for speed. In 1878, Sam Colt built a side by side shot gun with laminated steel barrels that became the chosen defense of many Wells Fargo & Co.

The 20 gauge '97 is available in any of our premium finishes, including color case-hardened receivers with slow-rust blued barrels. We are currently offering factory Winchester 1897's fully restored and re-barreled in 20 gauge. Due to the limited production, this caliber of 1897 has been unavailable to SASS shooters and Winchester collectors for a long time, until now. However, they feature much more building technique.Īt the turn of the century, Winchester manufactured 20 prototypes of their famous 1897 in 20 gauge. These guns, like our Custom Firearms, have great attention to detail.

The Run-N-Iron team has come up with some custom guns that fall in a category all their own, Run-N-Iron Exclusives.
