This is a custom rifle shop and each client may want different components to make up their particular rifle, which, in turn, will affect the end price. Also, the price of individual components can rapidly fluctuate, changing base prices. All work is quoted at the time of services requested and orders placed.
We find that a give and take discussion by phone, e-mail or in person is the best way for us to help our clients arrive at the best possible component configuration to fit the needs, wants and budget of every individual. At the time we have all of the particulars agreed upon, the client will be given the final price, with shipping and insurance and an estimated time frame for the work to be completed. We strive to get the work out on or before the time given.
Orders for rifle repairs, rebarreling, and conversions and custom rifle orders will be 100% payment to get the work done. For custom rifle orders there are no refunds or changes made to the order once the order has been finalized.
We accept good old-fashioned cash, money orders, cashier’s checks, personal checks [with prior approval], or Discover, MasterCard or Visa credit or debit cards. We only accept information on cards via the telephone or in person. Please, do not send the information via email as that is not a secure method for doing so.
Our work is guaranteed to satisfy. If a client runs into a problem and needs to send a rifle back for diagnostic testing or work, the client will be responsible for the cost of the work and shipping both ways. However, if we find the work is as a result of an error on our part [very rare, indeed!] there will be no charge for the work or the shipping. If, however, there are other factors involved the client will be contacted before any work begins with an estimate of the work plus the current hourly rate, plus cost of parts and components.
Many people ask why there are no prices listed. These rifles were all built to specific specifications for individual clients and represent just a fraction of the work Randy does. Each rifle ordered, even if based on a rifle pictured, can have price variations due to cost of the components at the time and on each individual’s custom desires. There are hundreds of combinations, if not thousands, of combinations to come up with the price for an individual’s, plus the prices of components are constantly changing, upward for the most part. Because of availability and production of components for a rifle build we reserve the right to make changes or substitutions based on availability.
We look forward to working with each client on the perfect blend of workmanship and quality components that fit their hunting and shooting needs and desires. After discussing all of the possibilities, we will give a quote to the client for their unique rifle. All sales on custom rifles are final as these are custom orders, funds are non-refundable once the order is finalized.

Custom Stocks:

We build rifles using laminted stocks upon request. Custom wood stocks, checkered or un-checkered, on appropriate wood, with good color contrast are always more expensive and time consuming, so be prepared for the difference in price.

UPS Stores will not send firearms. Both Fed Ex and UPS may ask for either a copy of our FFL or the FFL number to ship a rifle to us for repair or conversion and we will provide that at the time if needed. If you do not have a UPS or Fed Ex call center near you most sporting goods stores will handle the shipping for you, for a nominal fee. All carriers need to know the rifle or action, as the case may be, are being shipped to an FFL dealer, which we are. We strongly recommend you insure anything you are shipping for the full value as well as keeping any tracking information given to you. You may have to specifically ask for one at USPS. Your local Post Office can explain the various mean available to you. Some are very anti-firearm and will refuse, even though it is legal to send a firearm to a dealer for conversion or repair. We normally ship custom rifles or any repair or conversion work by USPS as it is a 12 mile-round trip versus a 48 to 50 mile-round trip for UPS or Fed Ex shipping. However, if you prefer not to receive your product via the Post Office, let us know up front and the charges will reflect the change of shipping method. On all firearms we request an adult signature as do the carriers. Always ship in an appropriate hard sided case and make sure it is properly and very well packaged, with all contact information included, then securely sealed. For custom firearms we will include a hard sided case in the quote unless you specifically want it sent in a case of your own.
