Thank you for choosing to visit my website. Enclosed you will find samples of my work and some of the accomplishments I've had over the years. I have been working with guns for 25+ years and enjoy building custom, highest quality wooden stocked rifles and shotguns. I started working on guns when I was 16 years old and am still going strong. I know what works in many situations. I moved to Alaska in 1975 and lived there until moving to Michigan in 2008.

Jim Cloward, High Master Highpower shooter and winner of the Wimbledon Cup, first introduced me to Highpower competition in 1990. I have also been competing in mounted shooting events (horseback) since 2004.

I provide four basic services: barrel/chambering, action work, wooden stock work and rust bluing. I am a one-stop shop and am capable of working on virtually every aspect of your custom gun. I am constantly striving to provide "best quality" firearms to my clients. I use a Bridgeport mill, Emco Meir lathe, (made in Austria) and only high quality equipment in my shop.

Pat Taylor, Gunstock Checkering Specialist, taught me how to checker in 1998. I have known Pat and worked with her on projects since then and continue to learn from her. Occasionally I will I utilize Pat's extensive talents in checkering. You can rest assured that you will get the best from me when it comes to every aspect of your custom gun.

If you're interested in a truly beautiful, wooden stocked rifle or shotgun, please contact me for more information. I love to talk guns, hunting, and horses.  --Neal Bauder
