It is with great sorrow that we report the pioneer of stock making Jerry Fisher has passed away. Our condolences go to the family and loved ones of Jerry as he touched many lives.
A Ruger Single Six is in the box! Colton Cavill produced this lovely revolver with some help from our friends at Gunsmith at Large. Colton color case hardening the receiver, fume bluing the pins and screws, and hot salt bluing all remaining metal components. Colton also installed the sambar stag grips and made the custom presentation box.

Going from a new school firearm to an old school firearm. When Alex Hitzges isn’t helping students weld you can find him stroking his goatee impersonating random people.

Not only did Larry Phillips tackle restoring this FN High Power, he made it function again! Customer brought this in after the firearm sat in a leather holster and accumulated a wee bit of rust for decades. Larry ordered a new barrel and manufactured some springs that were no longer in production and now this customer will be especially happy!

CST has always been a leader in firearm education and repair. Yesterday marked a big day in our history that will allow CST to continue the dedicated instruction of the artisan craft of gunsmithing. Ryan Lishner, who was a student in 2005 and has since worked in every role that CST offers became CST’s new proud and dedicated owner. We congratulate him and look forward to what our future holds!
