Restoration smith in Boca Raton FL?


Recommended Posts

I was reading a post and saw someone mention (I think) Guy/Gary Rughar that does firearm restoration?  Now my memory is playing tricks and I can’t find the post that mentions him. Does anyone have his contact info?  I have a couple of firearms I wouldn’t mind letting him work on possibly. Funny thing is I live about 20 minutes away snd never heard of him. Thanks.

Crystal River, Florida - cross and up state.

Gary has closed up shop after 35 years. Neuropathy finally did his hands in. A real shame, he did fabulous work.

Oh just my luck!  But I know about neuropathy after chemotherapy for Stage 4 colon cancer. Fortunately I am clear. My hope for him that it isn’t too bad. 
Thanks.

Island Gunsmithing

Ponte Verde Beach.

El Q Jones is his alias

 

I sent him my most prized possession. If my house was on fire and I could save one thing it would be my Grandfather's Drilling.

 

It had water damage to the stock due to a flood. It just made me sad to look at it.

 

It took him about two weeks to do the job but it was better than the original finish. It looks fantastic!

 

El Q was very good with communication throughout the process. Asked me questions on what I wanted and did not just make arbitrary decisions without consulting me first.

 

I give him my highest recommendation!
