Customizing Guns

I really enjoy customizing a gun to a customer's specifications.  Art chose a Mark X action to build his long-range hunting rifle. It has a Krieger 8.5 twist 6.5 mm bull barrel. When not shooting coffee cans at 800-900 yards, he shot a nice buck at 997 yards!  None of his buddies would give him credit for a 1000-yard one shot kill!  The stock is walnut with a teal epoxy paint finish -- this customer wanted his gun to match his truck.  The project is on-going... We added a forearm and butt stock rails made from stainless steel.  The next special touch was to slide in Teflon blocks mounted on an articulating aluminum rifle rest.  If you like long-range rifle shooting, we can tailor a gun to your specifications -- the sky's the limit!

6-Pound Custom Remington Short Action

This is a modified Remington 700 short action. A Broughton stainless steel fluted barrel with a muzzle break installed. This rifle is chambered for .300 WSM, but can be chambered to your caliber specification.  It is stocked in a McMillan carbon fiber stock to further reduce weight. Action has been tuned as well as machined to save weight and the bolt handle has been skeletonized. Weight with rings and bases is a mere 6 pounds. Keep in mind the barrel is 25" long with a .650 Muzzle.

The same rifle (above) with a Leupold 2.5-8x scope weighs in at just 7 pounds.

Ashley Wilmont - Winner of an Alberta Whitetail Hunt

The Village Arms supports the eastern chapter of FNAWS by donating a rifle for the use of the winner of their youth hunt. Each year a youth competes for a hunt through marksmanship as well as a written test. Ashley Wilmont won her hunt to Alberta for whitetail. Her father Rusty accompanied her. Although they were not successful for whitetail. Ashley, being an accomplished riflewoman, shot a Coyote at 500 yards. Her name has been engraved on the barrel and additional winners will be added.

Custom 10-Pound Silhouette Rifle

Milt Smith likes to be a little different on the Silhouette range with a one of our custom Remington 700's. The Barrel is a spiral fluted Krieger chambered in .260 Ram. Silhouette shooters would like a 9 pound barrel on a 1 pound stock and action. To accommodate our shooters we use some imaginative solutions to removing weight from a rifle. This rifle with scope weighs 10 pound.

We enjoy building rifles the way YOU want, not cookie cutter  production rifles.

.257 Roberts Custom Remington Model 600

This is a Remington 600 Mohawk restocked in walnut. It has a Hart Barrel chambered in .257 Roberts. We use an oversized magazine box to allow for the added length of heavy bullets. As an option we offer  custom jewelling on the bolt body. This started as a personal project. Near completion, my gunsmith mentor and good friend became very ill.  We decided to raffle this gun to help cover some of his expenses.

Checkering was quickly completed by Susquehanna Gun Stock.

Fine Custom work includes a jeweled bolt.
