Thanks for your interest! We welcome questions and comments about our custom rifles, parts and custom projects. However, because of the enormous number of emails we receive, we have designed these FAQ's to hopefully answer the most common questions.
Feel free to Contact Us if your questions have not been answered, or if you have addtional questions.
1. How much is….?
The prices for our CoPilot and Guide rifles are located on our COPILOT page. For work OTHER than packages, please visit our CUSTOM SHOP pages where you can pick and choose the custom work you wish to do. For Pistolsmithing questions, please either email or call.
2. How do I order?
Check out our new ONLINE STORE!
3. How long does it take to do….?
We regret that we cannot provide firm delivery dates or firm estimates of the time it will take to finish your project. Any time period we may quote you on the phone is nothing more than an estimate. Our rifles and handguns are primarily hand built and we insist on a quality product. This means, of course, that building a firearm takes a great deal of time. In addition, our products are in high demand, and we have numerous orders. That being said, we generally deliver the most complex projects in about one year and less complicated ones sooner. We ALWAYS contact you IMMEDIATELY upon your project being finished and ready to ship. CALLING US AND ASKING ABOUT THE STATUS OF YOUR ORDER ONLY SLOWS UP THE PROCESS!!!
4. How do I ship my rifle or handgun to you?
Please reads these SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS. You can use UPS, Fed Ex or insured Priority Mail for rifles. Handguns may only be shipped by UPS or Fed Ex. DO NOT SHIP HANDGUNS BY MAIL!!! All firearms must be unloaded. Do not send slings or cases or other accessories.... We repeat... DO NOT SEND THESE ITEMS, ESPECIALLY CASES!!! Shipping is expensive, keep the weight down. You DO NOT NEED to use an FFL holder to ship your personally owned rifle to us!
5. How do you ship my rifle or handgun to me?
We use UPS. The cost varies depending on the weight, size and value. Shipping charges are set at the time your firearm is ready to ship.
6. Do you make extended magazine tubes?
We do not make them, install them, or, based on years of experience, recommend them.
7. Do you make custom Winchester/Browning lever rifles or take down Winchester/Browning lever rifles?
We are now doing takedown Winchester 1895s. Please call us for details.
8. Do you make lever guns in 454 Casull or 480 Ruger? Hey how about the 50 S&W?
Check out the new Model 04! Currently working on a new Lever Action in 454 Kasull and 500 Smith & Wesson. Check back for more updates.
9. Do you do the .457 magnum or .50 Alaskan in Winchester or Browning lever rifles or on the Marlin Cowboy?
No, sorry, we do not do conversions on any lever action other than a Marlin, yet!!! Please keep checking our web site for updates. We do 457 conversions on the 1895 Cowboy, but DO NOT do 50 Alaskans on the Cowboy.
10. Can you make me a Marlin rifle in .450 Alaskan, or .510 Kodiak or .458 Bigenboomer…?
At the present time, our lever guns are available in any CURRENT production Marlin rifle caliber, along with the 457 Magnum and 50 Alaskan.We are evaluating certain other calibers, and if we decide to do them, we will post details on our site.

12. Can you keep the magazine tubes of your take down guns loaded while the rifle is apart?
No, we consider that unnecessary and unsafe.
13. Can you shoot the 45/70 in your 457 Magnum guns?

20. Do you sell stock blanks? Which rifles do they fit? Can I install them myself?
We sell stock blanks for the 1895 Marlins (all models) and the .444s. They are unfinshed blanks. You can fit them yourself. You need to have familiarity with fitting an unfinished stock blank as it is very labor intensive.

If you are calling from anywhere in the US, its earlier. If we don't answer the phone at 9 am your time, its because we are still sleeping.
26. I live in a foreign country. Can I order parts from you?
Due to United States export laws and regulations, we are unable to process export orders for parts and accessories to be shipped directly from us to you. We are currently working on an export license to ship guns and parts outside the U.S.
