My grandfathers single shot 12gauge went through a fire. I live in Muncie i would like to know the closest place where i can take it to be repaired. i would also like to know just about how much it would cost.

the fire started in the room right next to where the were being kept. all the wood is gone but it seems to still work my dad knows more about it then i do. i don't know to much about guns. dad never had any that worked in the house except for two .22 rifles that he wouldn't let me touch. but now i am 20 years old and he knows i am not going to shoot my self.
Can a firearm be retreated? If one did lose its temper but not misshaped, would that treatment mentioned on another thread to strengthen mini 14 barrels bring it back?
thank you i think thats what we will do.Going thru a fire hot enough to burn the wood off would have took all the original temper out of the steel(only takes around 250 degrees for 30 minutes or so), and most likely warped a few parts. There is a slim chance someone could take it completly apart and re-heat treat each part back to its original specs. But that would be a time consuming and expensive adventure even if it could be done. If you could find a replacement stock and forend, you could remove the firing pin(so no one would try to fire it) and re-blue it and make a wallhanger out of it. But it its current condiction i would NOT TRY TO SHOOT it.
Not sure what treatment you speak of...
