Default Mel Doyle's Shop

Mel Doyle's Gun Shop was in Plumber, Idaho. Mel retired a few yrs ago. Did anyone carry on this business in another name? Thanks.

Default Mel Doyle's Succesor

I was able to contact Mel's family in ID. Mel's apprentice, Keith, has picked up the hot bluing and parkerizing finishing and has his own shop in ID. His cell is 208 569 1534.

I have had several pieces hot blued and Parkerized by Mel and was very satisfied with the results and hope Keith continues this practise.
