Subject: Re: Putting a DR back "on face"

OK, here's a question for someone who knows more than I do on the subject of a DR coming "off face". What is the procedure for tightening up a DR which has loosened or come off face? Does this require adding metal to certain areas and then filing to get the action tightness back?




NO It can and has been done. But their is a better way. Change out the hinge pin if possible. If not then look to adding a shim or refacing the hooks.

In reply to:


Any ideas as to costs which might be involved? [3 figures or 4 figures]? Hoping someone might be able to shed a little light here and give me a little education.
Thanks in advance.





Yes, depending on the quality of the job and the difficulty in matching the engraving etc.

I should also point out that if you are looking at a loose gun you had better have it checked out by an expert before 'making an offer'.
