Good day all! Most of you know me as leelad, I've been a regular on these boards since 2006 and have been active in the gunsmithing forum.
I am very pleased to announce my business membership here on CGN!
Its been a long process to turn my passion of gunsmithing into a full time business venture; building my shop, designing/building/setting up equipment, and getting approval of my Federal permits. I am very excited to announce this next step of online presence and that I am officially open for business on CGN!
My passion is two fold:
-Precision Rifles; I am convinced of the quote "Only accurate rifles are interesting". In this day in age, there is no reason to own a rifle that doesn't shoot exceptionally well. Be it an F class target rifle or light weight hunting rig, it should bloody shoot.
-Well finished, beautifully balanced, perfectly fitted firearms. I believe a firearm should look and feel as good as it functions or shoots. There is a reason exotic sports cars come with attractive lines and nice paint, its the completion of the package!
Although the lines of a PRS rifle, a Custom 1911, a Classic Upland Shotgun and a High Grade Safari Rifle all differ; They should all be "extensions of ones self" and (beautifully functioning) "pieces of art".
I offer full service gunsmithing work ranging from part sourcing/manufacture, firearm repair/troubleshooting/restoration, custom brake manufacture/installation, stock work (refinishing, bedding, carving), action truing, bolt bushing, jeweling, barrel work(contouring, fluting, chambering, threading), etc...
Here are some links to examples of my work:
