Quote from a customer
who brought me two S&W revolvers, one of which had misfires, and both of which he wanted a trigger job completed upon:
“I put 50 through each firearm yesterday. I put 50 more through each one today. Zero issues at all. The primer strikes on the Model 36 are a bit deep but no pierced primers, I used two different types of primer, Winchester and CCI. I also used some Factory ammo including plus P 158 grain. Not a single problem with either gun. That model 64 is a joy to shoot! Thank you again for the superlative job you did on not only these two guns but so far everything you have worked on for me. You can count on me as a repeat customer.” (And he has become a regular repeat customer)

Bird hunters - need a quicker followup shot?
Then you need less muzzle rise. For
most shotguns I can port your barrel so your
barrel acts as a muzzle brake! $150.00 + tax
Unfortunately, county zoning precludes my my performing “retail sales” from my home, where my business resides. Thus I can only sell you a firearm “online” and instructions for this are on my page above.
I pay CASH for firearms & firearm parts - working or broken.
ARE YOU ONE?
A recent study reveals there has been a 50% increase in the number of persons who Concealed Carry a firearm daily for personal protection. Over 16 million of us are carrying, including me. Did you know that if you live next door to the police station it would take the police at least seven minutes to respond, on a perfect day! And FBI studies show the majority of violent encounters occur in five minutes. Every day we read about the violent world we live in. What are YOU doing to protect yourself, your family, and the people around you? Take personal command of your safety! Get your Concealed Carry Permit, practice, practice, practice (including drawing your firearm from your chosen holster), Develop your sense of situational awareness. And be safe out there! Refuse to be a victim.
Here are the latest changes from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms:
STABLIZING BRACES and AR PISTOLS
GREAT NEWS - a federal judge has ruled the ATF’s redesignation of pistols with stablizing braces as Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs - which require special government permission to possess) as blatantly illegal. That is, the ATF’s redesignation is illegal - the ATF has broken the law, and the judge staid the ATF ruling. We are all now waiting to see what the Supreme Court has to say about two other unrelated 2nd amendment cases that will better clarify what the ATF can do or not do. Stay tuned!
YOUNG ADULTS - You can serve in the military, but you are not able to legally exercise your right to “bear arms” without restrictions!
As a result of the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of 2022, signed into law on June 25, 2022, the NICS Section has been working towards the implementation of an enhanced background check process for persons between the ages of 18-20. The enhancement provides the opportunity for additional outreach and research to be conducted regarding the existence of any juvenile adjudication information and/or mental health prohibition. As a result, transactions on persons between theages of 18-20 will initially be delayed and the address of the individual will be collected so that the appropriate local and state entities may be contacted. The enhanced process will begin on November 14, 2022, for all transactions on persons under the age of 21 as previously described. Checks on persons under the age of 21 could be extended for a period up to ten business days.Therefore, it is possible for an FFL to be contacted with an updated Brady Transfer Date. As a temporary measure and until the NICS can be updated to provide this information electronically, NICS staff will be calling FFLs to advise of any change in the transfer date. In preparation for calls from NICS, you will be asked to verify your license number and code word. You may wish to have this information readily available for you and your staff.
AND
Beginning Monday, September 26, 2022, the FBI will be implementing two new features to the NICS transaction process. First, FFLs will be asked to provide the address of the buyer in certain cases. The FBI is required under the NICS Denial Notification Act to notify local law enforcement within 24 hours of a deny decision based on the FFL location and the applicant’s residence, if different. Second, FFLs will see a message from the NICS on attempted purchases for persons under the age of 21 who are buying outside of their home state. This message is meant to assist FFLs in identifying purchase scenarios where attention to varying state laws may be warranted.

COWBOY ACTION SHOOTERS
I am a fan and experienced in modifying firearms to make them more suitable for Cowboy Action Shooting. From lever guns to shotguns to revolvers, I can slick them ALL up for you and make em’ run true and fast! Please look at my recommendations found on my Cowboy Action page.
I don’t have equipment to “mark” your Personally Manufactured Firearms (PMF - 80% firearms, NOT an AR-15 you assembled using a manufactured 100% lower). As of 24 August 2022 Gunsmiths are required by law to serialize any PMF that comes in for repair/etc where I must keep it overnight.
Yes, you can ship your firearm to me for repair!Contact me and let’s set it up!
