Traditions Kentucky Flintlock Rifle Kit
Here we assembled and hand fit all parts of the kit. We cold blued all metal parts and finished the stock by hand burning tiger striping into the stock with a pencil torch to resemble an authentic Kentucky long rifle with tiger maple wood.
We also built a percussion cap pistol to match.

Arken EP5 5-25X56
This gun was brought in after being in a house fire. Grips were burnt completely off, stainless finish was tarnished, and trigger and hammer were non-functioning.
We replaced with an aftermarket hammer, trigger, and internal springs. We then cleaned and polished the stainless to try to restore it back to original condition and finished it off with a custom set of Smith & Wesson grips.

This kit was stored in the box vertical in a garage where moisture on the floor seeped up and ruined the buttstock and barrel at the end. We chopped the barrels down and cold blued them. We cut the buttstock off at the pistol grip. Hand fit all parts together to make it into a functioning black powder pistol shotgun.

PSA AK-V 9mm AK pistol
We took a stock AKV and installed a Franklin Armory binary trigger meant for a full size AK47 in this more compact model. We had to remove some material from the inside and also required some dremmel work but managed to get the trigger inside this gun and working. This trigger combined with the short cyclic rate makes it a ton of fun at the range and shoots extremely fast.
