Haven't looked at their website in a while. Clicked on the saved link. Ended up as an Airsoft site. Weird.

Anyone know how to find them?

Sincerely. bruce.

I believe they may be gone? Deans family and friends picked up to run the business to at least finish pending projects, but that was a few years back.
If they are still operating, you may stand a better chance searching in the event they changed domains?

I was going through some links I had saved. Clicked on it and was surprised not to find them. Did a google search. Nothing. Have a Danish return M-1 that was reworked by Dean w/ new .308 barrel, parkerizing, etc. Should have done a stock. Oh well ... hindsight. Sincerely. bruce.

Years ago, I had Dean restore my WW2 SA garand with a reparking and new Wenig stock with military type finish. I had him stamp DGR on the grip heel. He also checked all mechanical dimensions which made my M1 super accurate! He also returned my old garand stock. All for $400. He also sent me his T-shirt saying it was the last one he had! DGR logo on front and "Life is too short to shoot an ugly gun". He died soon after. His wife and staff took over his work. They had just moved to (I believe Tennessee). I still have that garand! I sold a Winchester garand with all Winchester parts except barrel and stock instead of selling 'Deans gun'!

And time moves on.
