Anyone buy a gun from Steve's Gunz?

Swift Justice · November 17, 2011, 06:59:14 PM

when anyone has ever bought a modified gun from Steve's did they pay in full when they ordered it or did you pay a portion until it was ready. I feel very comfortable sendung payment in full, but i never pay for something in full until I get it...So I wanted to ask.

When I bought my 1892 Rossi I put down a deposit while he did some work on it and when it was done I paid the balance and he shipped it to my local FFL.

Bought one from him a few years ago. Paid cost of gun upfront so he could order it in. Think he asked for more bucks when he started working on it. Actually was afforded the option to have the gun come to me direct and then send it to him when my turn came up. Had a rifle so did not need the new one and just waited. Took about 6 mo or so to get the gun. He is busy but does really good work.

Forgot to say that when I bought mine, Steve had it in stock so I was lucky that way.

Luckily I live here in Texas not too far from Steve's shop. He's working on a new Rossi 92 for me right now and I expect to be very pleased later this month when I can stop borrowing my buddy's rifle for competition. Steve also works on other brands (both rifle and shotgun) for CAS shooters but his backlog is a bit long right now.

I can tell you this, Steve is a fine gentleman and a great gunsmith. He comes highly recommended!

Steve reworked a Rossi 92 38/257 for me several years ago. I took my rifle to Steve's shop when I was on a business trip to Port Arthur, Texas and I picked it when I went down there on my next trip down there. He is absoluty the best on reworking Rossi rifles. Those 38/357 Rossi's prefer the longer .357 cases. Steve's reputation has grown and he has a lot more business. It is worth the wait.

I bought his kit and had a local guy do the steps he recommended. Smooth as silk now and has held up well.

Will do! I expect to pick up my Rossi in a few weeks.

It is probably explained on his web site but- His current wait is approx 10 months. Rather than be without a gun for that long, you print out his reservation form/work order, mail in the form and a non refundable $50 deposit that is applied to the cost of work. When your turn is close, email comes instructing one to ship gun. If you like for $30.00 he will send prepaid shipping lable.

Gun goes in and should come home in 4 -6 weeks. Just mailed in my deposit to slick carbine mentioned below today.

Again when I initially ordered my gun from him a couple of years ago, I was afforded the opportunity for the gun that he had to order be shipped to my FFL then send back for work when it was time. Had a servicable though not slick 92 carbine so elected to save the extra shipping costs and waited for the gun to get ordered, and in due course have work done.
