Somebody on the forum recommended Paul for my 1886 Lever rifle. He did an outstanding job and also did a trigger job. I am very well pleased!

That would have been me.
I'm happy that things came together well! Paul is a good guy, and really does beautiful work!!

I've said many times that the devil is in the details and he pays attention to the details.

Thanks again, Butch.

Anyone reading this and who LOVES gun eye candy (especially lever guns) and your on the FB follow his page… dude is a master who will be a legend one day. Turnbull make old new. This guy make new newer… If his product functions half as nice as it looks he’s going to be a BIG name one day (still want a 30 Badger conversion)….

You're too kind, thank you.

Hey Feller, just food for thought... there is a world of fokes over 70 who have a lot of lever guns and might have some work for you but know nothing or have anything to do with facebook. When I'm looking to get something done or something to buy and get directed to facebook I just look elsewhere..... John

I do have photos, but for some reason I can't post photos on this forum anymore! It is a beautiful 1886 in 40-65 and functions great after Paul put his touch to it.

If you go to Paul's Facebook page my rifle is on his Sept 3rd post. Unfortunately the photo shows his great trigger work and not the looks of the rifle.

I have always like the '86 Winchester. I have 2, 50-110 WCF rifle and 45-70 carbine.

I've got a website, countrycustommetals.com there is a contact form there. I'm usually on the 1st page of Google when searched for "lever action gunsmith."

I'm not currently taking work, I've got a healthy backlog I'm working through.

The action was extremely difficult to operate. After measuring I determined it had warped a little bit in the center of the bolt raceway, pinching the bolt.

Not knowing if the person who did the work ran it through a temper cycle after CCH, I opted to re-fit the bolt rather than straighten the action rails. I've seen cracks happen on improperly tempered jobs, even with case hardening while trying to straighten things.

While the action was apart, I did a trigger job and cleaned all the internals, along with polishing a couple of things. I re-rust blued the bolt and trigger spring.

I didn't get many photos, but these show the force needed to run the lever before and after. On the after, the "peak" shows the force needed to cock the hammer.

I bet that 50-110 is spicy.
I'm wrapping work on a Model '71 that I converted to a takedown and chambered it in 450 Alaskan Improved. I'm looking forward to being done with it but not abuse of test firing.

The 50-110 does thump you pretty good!
