Today we had the pleasure of hosting Frank and Codee from Hunting with Heroes, they were accompanied by Andrew Kinard. Andrew is a marine veteran who has recently been selected to go on an elk hunt with this great organization. Andrew wanted to meet the student who was setting up the rifle that he will be hunting with. Chris Marx is setting up a Howa 1500 chambered in 300 Win Mag with an MDT folding chassis stock for Andrew. It was a pleasure hosting these three and we look forward to the finished product being put to work.

Tony Boone completed the task of refinishing this Beretta 92. When this firearm came through our doors it had rust in majority of its surface area as well as missing parts. While waiting for parts to arrive Tony polished the all components on the firearm and then applied the matte black Cerakote coating. Now this firearm functions reliably as well as being presentable.

Bobby Pittsenbarger surprised his significant other by applying this Cerakote coating to the barrel and action of her H&R shotgun. He added gun candy over the top and this awesome design to her stock. Can you guess what his base color on the barrel and action were prior to adding gun candy?

Hunter Holt decided to customize his Mosin Nagant during his portion of specialization. He added aluminum pillars and bed the pillars as well as the action. He then created a custom bolt handle that screwed on to the original handle. He threaded the barrel and added a muzzle brake. Finally he put the finishing touch with his hand made gold hammer and sickle emblem.

Prior to graduating Ryan Lash and Gus Saliva teamed up to produce a hand crafted muzzle brake. Ryan drew out the blueprints, cut the threads on a manual lathe, and created this beauty on a manual mill. After completion Gus applied a Cerakote coating and installed it on his .338 Lapua. The precision exemplified during this procedure is why each of these guys had such success during their time at school.

Nothing feels better than a true fit. Cameron Karge can attest to this after hand making a new stock for his AK. As opposed to the normal short length of pull of 13 inches Cameron’s custom stock has a length of pull of 14.5 inches. He also refinished the forend and applied a Cerakote coating on the receiver and barrel. What a creative project and fantastic outcome.

Brenden Wheeler created this long range machine. After blueprinting his Remington 700 action Brenden cut the thread extension and reamed the chamber for a 6.5 PRC. He then applied a burnt bronze Cerakote coating to the barreled action. He then added a battleworn finish to the chassis stock. What a beast! Great job Brenden, we hope your father enjoys it.
