Hunter Arms restorations

Posted by Chris Demars on January 16, 2023, 10:58 pm

Hi all,

I’ve just purchased my x4 Hunter arms sxs and I’m thinking about having a few of them cleaned up. Is this something that’s taboo and takes away it’s value or should I go for it. As you can see, the old girl is a little worn out. I can certainly settle for hanging her up as is. It’s back home in Fulton.

Please check the "Should I restore my L.C. Smith shotgun?" in the Maintenance and Restoration FAQs

The guns have no collector value and to "restore" a lower grade "shooter" to like-it-left-the-Hunter-Arms-factory would far outweigh the value of the finished gun.
The guns do need to be checked, cleaned & refurbished, and there are several experts in New York State who could do the work; all of whom are very busy for good reasons. And the extent/amount of the work is your choice.
