Veterans Reloading

My name is Bill Holbein and my wife and I started a small gunsmithing business English Mountain Gunsmithing in the spring of 2024. We used to travel for work for many years and we decided to come off the road and stay in one place. We're in East Tennessee. I do all kinds of general gunsmithing but my passion is taking old family heirlooms and bringing them back to life both mechanically and cosmetically. I do rust blueing, stock repair and refinishing. Coming soon is nickel plating.
I've also been an avid reloader for over 15 years. I currently load 4 gauges of shotgun. 12, 20, 28 and 410 bore. I also load around 15 calibers of metallic cartridges.
I'm honored to be apart of this organization. I would encourage anyone who would like to learn to reload need help to reach out to me. I will help in anyway I can. If you're in East Tennessee my shop is always an open door for anyone.

Well howdy. I have my great grandfather's BP 12 gauge. Broken stock, some other stuff. I need to get with you on a quote to bring her back to life.

We are glad to have you, Bill. Please show off some more of your work. Advertise as needed, let me know of any site additions or corrections needed.

Cordially,

Blackfire aka Josh

7000grain. I can definitely do that. My contact info is in the vendors section. Here's a bp 12 I did for a friend. The stock was broken in 4 places and the barrels needed resoldering. I then reblued the metal and refinished the wood. Unfortunately the Damascus is in to bad of shape to shoot it. It could've been sleeved to a sub guage but he didn't want to at this time.

Here's another one I restored. I went through the Helene flood and was found in a bean field along the river.

Awesome
