I come with a very heavy heart to let everyone know that Dean Dillabaugh of Dean’s Gun Restorations passed away. His dream was for me to continue the business and he did everything he had to do to prepare for this day. As you know, I have been with DGR for 12+ years and will continue to move the business forward per his wishes.

Dean has been preparing the business for the last couple years for this situation. Amanda Richardson has been training with Dean for the last four years. Dean had 100% trust and confidence in Amanda. Dean was very particular about his work as most of you know and instilled his high standards of workmanship and attention to detail in Amanda, who has been doing the majority of our gunsmith activities for the last 6 months.

If you have any work or orders with us right now, rest assured that we are getting them done. We are continuing the business of restoring/rebuilding rifles and we are operating at 100% as we move on in the foreseeable future.

Please free feel to reach out to me if you have any questions about our services, orders and needs.

Michelle Bowling- DGR

Just saw this, what a shock! My condolences to his family. He did a couple of jobs for me over the years and I got to speak with him on the second one. He threw in some free upgrades 'just because'. A real gentleman.

In the year since Dean's passing I wonder how the business has been faring?
