Very few shops across the country know double guns like MGW. We take pride in rebuilding Over/Under and SXS shotguns. It is a time intensive job that most will not attempt. We re-build both competition and hunting models that have extensive use and round counts. In most cases it is a complete tear down and a process of welding the locking bolt and surface grinding back to the proper dimensions. Refitting the locking bolt and resetting and tightening of the hinge surfaces, timing the ejectors and replacing top lever and mainsprings are all part of the job as well. Typically when finished the firearm will be tight, the top lever in the right hand position and require a break in period too, much like when it was factory new.

No Matter the reason you are adding or replacing a recoil pad, done properly the new pad will fit clean and flush. The stocks heel and toe will meet the new recoil pad with a tight flush finish where the base of the pad's lines are uninterrupted and the pad will look as an extension of the stock. MGW installs hundreds of recoil pads per year both OEM and aftermarket upgraded recoil pads from manufacturers such as Pachmayr and Kick-Eez.

We offer three different styles of finish - A high gloss polyurethane finish, a spray on polyurethane satin finish and a hand rubbed oil finish. Our refinishing products are not for sale to the general public and are exclusive to the Midwest Gun Works refinishing department.
