Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
I just wanted to confirm everything said already about the Enfield work from Mr. Watts and Blockade Runner. I ordered an S,H, & G along with bayonet and recieved them in less then three weeks. The work is absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to take it out to the field. It'll almost be a shame to get it dirty. Keep up the great work! It really makes you appreciate the difference between out of box repros and defarbed weapons.Jake Koch

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
We will call him big head Todd as his head is getting big. Not just from all the mostly deserved praise, but physically big like Barry Bonds.
Watts is branching out. His 1842 and 1861 US models are getting there, his Mississippi rifles are getting a cult following. All we need is a Lorenz.
It keeps getting close then slips away again.
He finished up a minty Parker Hale for me as a Barnett. Can't wait to see it...Craig L Barry

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
I sent my (Ca. 1981) 1853 PH Enfield to Todd . Over the years I updated some hardware and made some minor attempts at "DeFarbing" . Well today I got my piece back from Todd. One word describes it . Wow !!! No one can ever go wrong with using Todds' services. Thank Tou Todd!Barry Dusel

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
Dears Friends,
I would like to add my kudos of Todd Watts for his excellent work. I sent him an Enfield I had received in terrible condition and he sent me what looked like a new weapon minus many of the historical imperfections. (reshaped stock, refinished and oiled stock, pinned nose cap, changed swivels, blued barrel, blackened parts, changed lock plate to '61, added marker's marks appropriate to supplier, obtained proper stamps and stamped with state issue markings with roll number, refinished bayonet, stamped with makers mark and blued as appropriate). Monies well spent.
Thank you Todd!

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
Welcome. That particular one was an enjoyable change with its unique markings. Gave me the excuse for a new set of stamps anyway.Comment

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
Todd just dropped my rifle by BR yesterday. Its a Barnett and since I didn't get to talk with you I basically want it to reflect one of the first guns that came through Savannah in 1861. Email is dnkosovo@aol.com if you need to ask me anything.
Thanks,

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
I've noticed that this is a pretty old thread. Is the service still available for the enfield rifle? I may purchase one in not so good shape, field used. This service would put this weapon in good shape.Kevin FerrisComment

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
Hallo!
As far as I know, all of the service(s) providers are still in business.
I did not reread the entire Thread, but I might would mention that James River Armory (if mentioned) has been gone for a number of years.

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
Kevin,
He did an 1842 Springfield for a friend of mine, and did an excellent job on it. I left him my 1842 Springfield, and 1861 Springfield when I went to New Madrid.Rob Warren

Re: Massive Todd Watts Enfield Defarb!!!
Kevin, Mike defarbed a Euroarms P53 for me and did an excellent job. He also fixed a couple of problems caused by a modern gunsmith when I first tried defarbed bands on the piece myself. I am getting ready to send him the locks from a period goose gun to repair as well. I have known Mike for years, and in addition to doing quality defarbing and gunsmithing work, he is a quality guy.[FONT="Times New Roman"][/FONT] Aaron Racine

Mike took care of my 42 for me. He did an amazing job bringing the metal back to white and reshaping the stock.......couldn't be happier with his work.[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="5"]Jasper Massey.
