The Restoration Journey

At Grand River Gunsmithing, we take immense pride in bringing rare and historical firearms back to life. One such remarkable project involved the meticulous restoration of Tom Selleck's Winchester 1886, an iconic firearm with rich historical significance.

Our journey began with the initial assessment of the Winchester 1886, which arrived at our workshop in a worn and weathered state. This legendary firearm, famous for its association with the Wild West, deserved nothing short of a masterful restoration.

Our skilled team of expert gunsmiths poured countless hours into the restoration process, combining their extensive knowledge and precision craftsmanship. Each phase of the restoration was executed with utmost care and attention to detail.

Preserving History

One of our primary goals throughout the restoration was to maintain the authenticity and historical integrity of the Winchester 1886. We sourced original parts and meticulously replicated any missing components to ensure absolute accuracy.

The stock, worn by time and use, required careful refinishing. Our experienced craftsmen used traditional techniques to breathe new life into the wood, enhancing its natural beauty while preserving its historic character.
