folksie - it's what we do.

Our motto: "Never shoot an ugly gun."

A handmade hunting rifle should be both functional & pleasing to the eye.  And period-made examples should be an authentic yet individualistic interpretation of the time & region after which they are inspired. 

Not a show horse, just a somewhat showy workhorse.

Our guns fit a niche between purely functional pieces and those built and decorated to such a high degree  they command premium prices.  We're "middle of the pack" but worth the price.  Our guns are made to be used.
