- Restoration work — heirloom rifles, fire-damage recovery, full bring-backs. See the bench stories.
Why drive to Fort Scott?
Big-box stores ship gunsmith work out of state and sit on it for 6–8 weeks. We do it on the bench, in town, with a written quote up front and an honest read on whether the work is worth it. Most jobs are out the door in 1–2 weeks.
