Douglas Everett refinished and repaired my Anschutz 164 Sporter stock into a thing of beauty. All the dings, dents and scratches were removed, along with the original factory finish. He repaired the damaged white line spacer and buttplate at the toe so it looks factory new. The new finish is smooth and soft and brings the grain to life. He also installed sling swivel studs that look factory fresh. I am so happy I found Swift River Gunworks in my search for stock repair. Douglas communicates well, and is a pleasure to deal with. His prices are more than fair for the top notch quality work he does.Sincerely,Robert KaiserCleveland, Ohio
I just picked up my 2 Springfield trapdoor rifles (1884 and 1888) and 3rd model British Brown Bess musket (1797-1854), which I had entrusted to Swift River Gunworks for antique restoration. The result is excellent, and the estimated added value is several times what I paid. I highly recommend Douglas Everett of SRG.
I cant say anything about one gun because over the last several years he has worked on quite a few of them for me. Doing all kinds of things. He is a very knowledgeable gunsmith that is reasonable and has great communication skills.
Has repaired two of my older savage 99 Im always surprised by what good job!
My WWII M1 Carbine had a big crack in the stock. I had it repaired by Swift River Gunworks, it came out great. If you didnt know it was there before you would never be able to find it. Mr. Everett did a great job, and at a very fair price. I highly recommend this shop.
Great experience working with Douglas at Swift River Gunworks. Brought my recently acquired Springfield Trapdoor in for general maintenance. Douglas provided expert service and did a fantastic job. Very knowledgeable. Will certainly be returning with other needs in the future. Thanks again
I had a minor repair done on my black powder gun. The work was excellent and done in a timely manner. I recommend Swift River gun Works
Douglas Everett has for the past decade been the only Gunsmith I have used. I was disappointed by others that worked on my firearms. I have never had reason to be disappointed in with Swift River Gunworks. Douglas has reconditioned old European doubles, rebuilt military collectibles, put choke tubes in modern shotguns and older thin walled shotguns, rebarreled hunting rifles and repaired several cracked and broken stocks for me. He is always a great communicator and completes his work in a timely manner at reasonable rates. My latest group of 4 firearms were as well done as the first double I sent him over ten years ago.Thank you,Douglas
Friendly and courteous service. Have brought in multiple firearms to be serviced and every time the problems have been fixed. Doug is an excellent gunsmith.
