Catfish,
Last time I talked to them, in Chimney Rock, they were closed down, had all of the parts and equipment stacked against the wall and had converted their shop into an Indian artifacts gift shop, selling ginuine artifacts, made out back. :-) They were located at the edge of a reservation in NC... I managed to get a full set of parts for my 357 SM gun from them, just in case... But that was about 8 years ago. The guns are fine shooters as long as the cylinder bearings hold up.
Oh, let me relate a story to you about the two guys. I ordered a set of grips from them one time. The grips did not come and did not come, so after about three months I called. We could not make the grips cause it is raining and we hand carve the grips out back under the tree..... Quirky, real quirky
The story of the ElDorado is interesting in that it was two guns, by two different names, depending on when it was made, where it was made and who made it. The Seville was the first of the series and just about all of the Super Mag cartridges were available in the Seville. I have also had a 375 and a 445.
If you like fine revolvers and do not have one, get yourself a Freedom in 357 mag. The old 353 model is really something.
