This business started out as an ordinary gunsmith shop, part time in 1962, as friends saw the work I was doing on my own guns. I have been “smithing” professionally ever since. My kids started shooting in 1972, and my interest in smallbore equipment grew with them. Providing for four shooters in one family has led to the development of several products and shop procedures that are now available to you, our customers. Of course, your requests for solutions to new problems keep me developing new ideas which benefit us all.

Almost anything is possible if given enough time, but that is the biggest problem. My shop handles strictly target equipment. Even then, I have had to determine priorities because of the workload. My first priority is always repairs necessary to return equipment to service. Remember, some parts are hard to get, especially for out of production guns, and that can tie a gun up for a very long time no matter what priority I may want to set. Custom work is next. Jobs like glass bedding that won't tie a gun up long can usually be done immediately. Rebarreling takes longer, and something like a custom stock can take several months or more. I assign refinishing the lowest priority, as that has little bearing on the performance of the equipment, although pride in equipment makes us all perform a little better.

I will try to work with you in scheduling your gun work. If you let me know your competition and training schedule, I will cooperate to get the job done as best I can.
