I've purchased three rifles from René and I couldn't be more pleased. He's a pleasure to deal with - very professional yet personable, competent and efficient, fair and conscientious... what more can I say... a great guy to do business with! Thank you very much René!
Rene is an excellent man to deal with in purchasing a firearm. I recently bought an amazing Harrington & Richardson Model 48 TOPPER 12 Gauge with a 30 Inch Barrel 3" Chamber and a very nice Full Choke with an Auto-Ejector that once you open the action, it launches the empty hull 10 feet behind me and I absolutely love it!!!! This "meat & potatoes" Single Shot both looks and performs like its spent the last 20 years as a Safe Queen because there isn't 1 single blemish on the bluing and I'd say that the bluing would be at 98% and the brass front bead is still nice and bright as well. This shotgun locks up as tight as a Brand New shotgun and the wood is flawless, maybe a tad dull from age ONLY. There aren't any scuffs or scrapes on either the forend or stock and the ONLY "damage" is a small 1/4" x 1/4" corner missing from the plastic butt plate on the bottom. I have since re-done the wood because this H&R M48 TOPPER deserved the extra work on it to make it look like it has just come out of the box, so I spend a Sat sanding down the wood and after I was finished, I was shocked with the amount of woodgrain that was hidden under the factory stain. I didn't see any woodgrain under the factory stain but after I sanded all the old stain off, the amount of woodgrain was shocking!!! It was then that I knew once I refinished the wood that it was going to look awesome and it did!!! I first put on 1 coat of TRU-OIL and allowed it to dry thoroughly, then I applied 2 coats of MINWAX RED MAHOGANY STAIN and after it dried thoroughly, I then applied another coat of TRU-OIL and allowed it to dry. After 2 days, I lightly sanded the wood with 000 Steel Wool and applied another coat of TRU-OIL, then used the 000 Steel Wool again, wiped off the dust with a damp cloth, allowed it to dry and sprayed the wood with 4 coats of Matte Clearcoat and it left me with a nice dark stained wood with a hint of RED and all that woodgrain just popped from the forend and stock, with the Matte Clearcoat layers to protect the wood without being "shiny" because I simply don't like shiny wood, so the Matte was perfect!!! All I need to do now is to install a White Ivory Front Bead to the barrel and I'm all set in the looks department. Finally, I'll install an Indian Creek Black Diamond Choke. Bottomline is that the H&R M48 TOPPER was an excellent purchase and RENE was the greatest guy to sell it to me!!! I will definitely buy another shotgun from him again!!! I watch his inventory every week and I'm waiting for a nice SxS 12 Gauge to pop up, then I'll buy that from him too!!! Thanks Rene!! You're the man!!! ~Tom...

Was hesitant purchasing used online firearm for first time, I am very cautious and Rene quickly had my confidence.
Great to deal with, gun shipped that day, no fuss and exactly in condition as he said. Have told others to source from him, and will be looking to deal with him in future.
