Damn, did they ever screw up! There's an image of a hand holdin' a camera in the second photo!
I'd send it back and have that buffed out.

Stunning N frame Win.

I went to Florida for the 4th of July to visit the daughter and drove over to Ford's and dropped it off. So, early July to late November makes it about 4 months. To be fair, the owner advised they were in the beginning stages of plating a bunch of Baby Eagles and it would take them a few months to catch up and get to me.
They are in a small industrial park about 1 1/2 hour west of Gainesville (U of Fl).

I had Ford's Do an HK for me a couple of years ago..

Hi,

BEE-U-TI-FUL gun!

I'm encouraged by Ford's honest time frame they gave you and then how they delivered.

I was ready to send off my favorite revolver, a chopped barrel 25-2 "shooter" to them for refinishing, until a thread on this forum a year or so ago warned that Fords was undergoing some changes . . . and having both quality and delivery-on-time problems that were unlike Fords long-time reputation.

It looks like they've overcome both! This is great news. I think I'll have to consider sending them my baby again!

Thanks for posting!

Tom

Be careful with that beauty,it's one of my
favorites.
A fine member here sold me a close
cousin in 45 colt.
I love it.

If she shoots only half as good as she looks you'll have a real keeper!
Very nice indeed!!

 

[Joni_Lynn]

Congrats on a nice looking finish job.

 

[Mickey D]

I haven't had a need to refinish any of my guns, but Fords would be at the top to do the work.
Nice, thanks for sharing.

 

[DHENRY]

The gun looks beautiful!
In the past, I've had experience with several of the 'most recommended' shops.
When Horace Booth is on his game, he's the best nickel guy there is.
