The SS ones would have to be coated. We still have a few of the standard ones and will sell those until they are gone but a lot of people were inquiring about the stainless so it seemed like a win win for everyone.

I put another post up that we were switching all of these over to Stainless. At first we were concerned that it would gal but after further testing we were wrong. The APA team guys were the first guinea pigs but after that Jeff tried to screw one up so bad that he wore the corners off of the...

People are going to go nuts on you for touching that thing. Not recommended since they commonly carry the plague. Just an FYI. That will ruin your day.

I'm not sure exactly what happened here and technically I missed but it's still worth mentioning

After thoroughly trying to destroy it in true APA fashion we decided to make the switch over to stainless steel. We built some for the APA shooting Team guys to try out first. You can thank those guys for being Guinea pigs. As it turns out they worked really well. Beyond that we took one...

Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't we get them both ways but always at the poundage we ordered.

Call Jewel direct 512-353-2999 Jewel will sell you whatever you want so it's likely you got what your smith hand on hand. It's an easy process but any time you are messing with a trigger I would highly recommend You let a professional insure it's done correctly.

I don't care for the RMR either. When the rifle is properly fit for you the sights aren't so much of an issue. It should be very natural. If you practice correctly there isn't much aiming involved when it's close. It's just a natural motion like shooting a shotgun. The RMR doesn't give me...

It's a Heym. I'm one of those that believes glass simply doesn't belong on a double. It was meant to be up close and personal with nasty critters. Just plain irons for me. If you are going to shoot something with an optic you should have a 375 H&H. It's a great cartridge with a ton of...

It's California English Walnut. If I believed in being authentic I wouldn't have thrown that wood on a traditional double. It really freaked them out a bit but It's my rifle and I want what I want. One thing I learned in this business is you can make suggestions but at the end of the day don't...

It's out for checkering so not much to report at the moment. Well this is new: Coming to one exited GA boy soon. I'm having a double made in Germany as we speak. I'm excited to have someone build me a gun. I kinda like the idea. It's a lot more fun on the consumer side of things than...

No we don't do all of the work in house. I have most of the blanks roughed out before we start. This day and age no one starts with a bastard file and a blank unless they live in Europe and charge more than most make in a year. CNC's have made life hard for the artesian to remain price...

Now we are sprucing things up. That's the first carp to show up on the scene.

Yeah Mitch has some big ole boys running around that place for sure. We'll be back a few times this year. I have a few guys that want to go. I think I'm gonna run the camera.
