Swift River Gunworks

Swift River Gunworks has been providing gunsmithing services since 1984. D.F. Everett operates the shop as a full-service gunsmith focused on the repair, modification, and restoration of rare, collectible, antique, complex, and obsolete firearms—both foreign and domestic.

• •Mauser 98 Military Rifles are their flagship specialty. They handle service, repair, and modification of these classic bolt-action rifles. If you own a vintage Mauser, this is the place.

Complex stock repair represents another core strength. Their work is structurally solid, esthetically proper, and affordable. They handle everything from detailed cleaning and repair to complete restorations with hand-prepped re-bluing when needed.

• •Custom metal work and modifications
• •Gunstock repair and refinishing
• •Metal refinishing and gun bluing (hand-prepped, not high-speed buffing)
• •General firearm repair and maintenance
• •Complete restorations (including mechanism rebuilds)
• •Sight adjustments and trigger work
• •Professional cleaning and maintenance

"We are always prepared to invest the required time, care and attention to detail these guns require."

• •Phone consultations are required. Call (413) 213-0578 to discuss your work in detail. They don't estimate costs or timelines from photos or descriptions—they need to examine the work on the bench first.

Swift River stays in touch throughout every job. They consult you before making decisions and never spend your money without permission. Shipping and insurance costs are the customer's responsibility.

Their portfolio includes complete restorations of Erfurt P08 Lugers with arsenal-duplication refinishing, vintage pneumatic air rifles, and numerous Mauser variants. They also stock original 98 Mausers for sale (FFL required).
