adi786 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi Guys, Got Silver pigeon 5 and it has quite few scratches down jeweled part near ejectors, any idea if these can be fixed or refinished so they don't look this bad? Its on both sides Image Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 If enough metal was removed to hide the scratches completely it would involve weakening the chamber walls. I think that the "jewelling" could easily be re-done to hide the bulk of the scratches and make the area more uniform - also where it has worn away. Touching up the scratches on the underside of the barrel could be done with blueing paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphant59 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 You could argue that whoever was responsible for causing those scratches wasn't fit to own the gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 If you want it right, Get it reblacked and re jeweled.. That is a mess,He butchered that,groan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Call the GMK workshop... Don't do as i did and trust to an amateur. Was it Stevie Wonders old gun? (Joke). Edited February 27, 2017 by Red-dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) A smear of grease over the jewelling and you won't see it. Other than that get it done properly by someone who's work can be seen. Hopefully gunman or one of the other forum gunsmiths will offer advice. You can rejewel it yourself with a pillar drill and a round steel brush with grinding paste. Watch some online videos. It's very easy to do, just time consuming.

adi786 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 thanks, i have had been in chat with sportsman gun centre where it was bought and they have been very helpful with it so far.. am going to send it back to them, and they said they are going to: 1) Re-bluing whole barrel 2) they going to re-jewel it 3) going to refinish stock and for-end been told after all t his.. the gun will looks like new.... any of you got all these things done or any of these? Hope after all this... the gun will be immaculate.. thing its x owner.. probably kept taking/putting back shotgun.. and didn't know how to do it.. hence so many scratches.. i normally assemble it once and only disassemble when cleaning.. and got another shotgun and it has 0 scratches anywhere around barrel or jewel, not sure how the person managed to do this ...

figgy Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Some people are very hamfisted. When you see what some have done to their guns you wonder why they buy a decent one in the first place. Show us some pics of the woodwork before and after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on SGC, but it kinda begs the question of why they sold it to you in that state in the 1st place? Are they doing this work gratis?

Paul1440 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I'd be interested to see the finished results.. I have a DT10 where although not scratched the Jeweling shows signes of wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Jewelling means removal of metal and rejewelling means more metal removed reducing surface metal contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi786 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have pictures before, will let you guys know when it comes back, as i have been told that the whole process will take 3 weeks atleast... once its back i'll show the difference. I have been told that it wont affect the action much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sending to dealer back mate, as the person who sold, quoted me wrong on the condition, so when spoken with manager as a good gesture he agreed to do either stock or jewelling/re blue-ing for free... i've been quoted around £225 for both jobs by some of gun smith's. The manager is quite nice, and offered me all for way less.. hence sending... even he arranging all rfd costs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
