Scaling Down |
It is flattering and feeds my immense ego to have so many people placing their trust and confidence in me. I continue to earn this trust because I treat every job as if it were my own. Popularity, however, is a two-edged sword. While I was thrilled to have my peers elect me Small Arms Review 2007 "Gunsmith of the Year", I already had more work than I could handle. The more work I accept, the longer my turnaround becomes, and the more frustrated my customers and I became.
To make my workload more manageable, I have scaled back on the services I offer. I am offering refinishing, FAL builds, standard AK builds, and limited other gunsmithing work. Please e-mail me with your desires and I'll see if it can fit into my schedule. Do not send any work without prior authorization.

Website Format |
I do my own website. I am not an expert at HTML. I made some major revisions in October 2009, adding style sheets for format consistency, and light boxes for image viewing . If you find broken links or missing images, please send me a note. Anything that says "xxx" I already know about.
I've kept the website simple and easy to navigate. I keep my images in thumbnail format for rapid page-loading. I realize that people choose me based on the pictures of my work, as much as the work itself, so I have invested in better photographic equipment and am learning how to use it. I have increased my standard image size to 1000 dpi with less compression. I designed the sight for Mozilla Firefox at 1280 x 1024 dpi viewing. If you experience problems, let me know, and I may have to drop it back to 1024x768 dpi.

This section of the ARS website displays examples of gunsmithing services. I specialize in military-style rifles, because they most interest me.

I also do extensive work on Glock, Browning and Sig-Sauer handguns.
