Title: Contact info for Mel Doyle Gun Shop in Plummer, ID
Post by: jmden on November 21, 2014, 01:09:20 PM: Hi,

I need some blueing done and it was recommended that I go through Mel Doyle Gun Shop in Plummer, ID. However, the phone number I've found online doesn't work: (208) 686-1006. Neither does the email: meldoylesgunshop@rezmail.com.

Anyone know if they are still in business or have their current contact info?

Thanks,

Jon

Wait, is he even still in business???

Post by: jmden on November 22, 2014, 12:22:28 PM: Yeah, I'm wondering if he's in business anymore as well. The (208) 245-3006 number has been 'disconnected'...

Anyone know?

This guy is local here in Bellingham,I've seen restoration work he performed on a 1930's winchester SXS shotgun.Here is a link to his website.I've also shot clays with the man a few times.Pretty nice guy and is all about quality. http://www.macsprecision.com/ (http://www.macsprecision.com/)
