About Us

     

I began my career in the spring of 1980. At that time I was a primarily engaged in stock making, rust bluing and stock duplication. Within a couple of years I began to do my own metal work out of sheer necessity. My intention at the beginning of this endeavor was to produce a quality firearm to the absolute best of my ability. This initial goal has never wavered.
While I have occasionally completed a shotgun or single shot rifle project the bulk of my work throughout the years has been on bolt action rifles. I feel that a complete project should be an integration of thoughtful design and thorough implementation of all aspects of the construction. To this end I have always strived to design, fabricate and improve components whenever possible. It is my intention to supply the customer with a project that is 100% completely finished and ready for the field when it is delivered.
I have had a diverse hunting career as both the hunter as well as a professional guide. This "hands on" experience has allowed me to test and evaluate my rifles as well as others under real world conditions rather than hypothetically from my workbench. I believe this time in the field has been as beneficial to my education and career as any time that I have spent with a chisel and or file in my hands.
