Yup, I wanted to have one of my handguns looked at, went over, and they were closed. They sure didn't last long. BTW, I ended up doing the work myself.

As for restoration, what exactly are you looking for are you looking for cosmetics (Stock, blueing etc) or a full rebuild? If cosmetic, I'd say it's a chance to do it yourself. I learned how on an M1 Carbine.
